Ambassador to High Definition Golf
Amy has signed on as an ambassador to High Definition Golf – a subsidiary of Interactive Sports Technologies.
According to Amy:
“The High Definition Golf simulator is truly the most accurate technology for indoor golf I’ve come across. Not only do I love the accuracy, the image quality is spectacular, beyond the great technology it’s a wonderful way to spend time improving your golf game or sharing time with friends and family. With the video swing analysis and the new shaft flex module, I believe indoor golf lessons with a golf professional and the High Definition Golf simulator to be unparalled.”
