GTS Golf and SK Shieldus Pioneer Advanced Golf Practice Range Market

Official Partnership Agreement Signed for State-of-the-Art Facility Construction
Top Smart Golf Practice Range Applying AI Technology
Expected Reduction in Operating Staff and Energy Savings

GTS Golf, a specialist company in screen golf simulators, has partnered with SK Shieldus, a leading domestic physical and information security company.

Recently, they signed a business agreement at SK Shieldus's Samsung-dong headquarters to establish an advanced golf practice facility. As official partners, the two companies plan to combine their core technologies to create a smart golf practice environment, introducing a new paradigm to the apartment community industry.

Founded in 2015, GTS Golf operates based on its self-developed golf simulator (GTS-SIGNATURE), offering sales and rentals of golf simulators as well as directly managed golf academy businesses. The cumulative sales of GTS Golf's simulators have reached approximately 5,000 units. It holds the number one market share for golf simulators installed within domestic apartment communities.

Under this agreement, GTS Golf will provide its own golf simulators capable of swing and ball flight analysis and screen play. SK Shieldus will be responsible for video security, ADT Caps security services with automatic access authentication, and AI-powered smart heating and cooling services. In the future, GTS Golf’s directly managed stores and installation sites will be able to automatically maintain an environment optimized for golf practice, such as humidity and temperature, through smart sensors and AI algorithms.

The practice facilities equipped with smart environment technology can be operated with minimal staff. An energy savings effect of over 10% on average is expected. Service introduction consultations are available through the GTS Golf website. CEO Bang Woon-sik stated, "This is the first step toward pioneering the smart golf practice market. We will create a golf practice ecosystem capable of smart operation by joining hands with SK Shieldus."
