Chicago, IL, February 27, 2001 … On-Course Technologies, Inc., a Chicago-based manufacturer of the Personal Ranger™, an electronic “Pace of Play” solution for golfers and golf courses, today announced that it has retained Mastro Communications, Inc., a NJ-based sports public relations and marketing agency.

In less than a year since debuting its Personal Ranger™ Pace-of-Play System, On-Course Technologies has built a successful program that addresses the issue of slow play on America’s golf courses. To date, more than 25 golf facilities have incorporated the Personal Ranger™ system, resulting in dramatic pace of play increases -- in some cases up to 30-minutes. Concurrently, revenue at these courses has been enhanced due to greater tee time availability.

With its success to date, On-Course Technologies has assumed the leadership role in reducing slow play and increasing revenue at golf facilities throughout the U.S. Thus, the company has retained Mastro Communications to assist in executing a national grassroots awareness campaign to educate golfers and golf facilities on the importance of effective “Pace of Play” management.

Mastro Communications, Inc., which is headquartered in Warren, NJ, specializes in all facets of public relations, marketing, promotions, and special events. MC staff members bring more than thirty years of specific experience in golf public relations and marketing to On-Course Technologies.
