As the largest Onboard Golf Academy in existence
today, ELITE GOLF CRUISES, LLC continues to completely dominate the
field of Cruise Line Golf instruction, equipment, simulation and guided
excursions in hundreds of ports worldwide.
Originally launched in 1994, we currently operate our comprehensive
Golf Academies on 21 Carnival ships, 4 of the newest Holland America
ships, the 3 Yachts of Seabourn, 3 of the newest Princess ships as
well as all 9 of the Celebrity Cruises fleet. These ships entertain
anywhere from 300 to almost 3,800 passengers per vessel, per week
and we are continuing to expand our onboard golf offerings for scratch
players or those beginners just testing the waters.
We are a company ran by Golfers who understand not only the complexities
of the sport but the intricacies and opportunities available in the
world wide cruise line industry. As stated in our mission statement,
we strive to offer the most comprehensive golfing experience available
both on and off of the ships. Making Golf a reason to come, stay and
play. Below is a brief overview of what we provide to both our cruise
line partners and the sailing passenger as the largest onboard golf
academy at sea.
Physical Product
We have designed and engineered permanent onboard
golf cages (learning centers) which are shaded from the elements
and lit for casual evening play. This new construction development
not only lends credibility and permanence to our Golf program,
but allows for our golf professionals to extend or accommodate
a fuller teaching schedule and host special events. On many vessels
we have also launched a professional Golf Simulator which allows
individuals or their foursomes to play and enjoy some of the world's
most famous courses in a relaxed country club environment.

Onboard Instruction
After extensive research, Elite Golf secured a partnership deal to
provide the "V1" state of the art, video teaching software in all
of our onboard Golf Academies. This system has been chosen as the
PGA's preferred teaching technology and provides split screen, tour
player comparisons to golf's greatest legends or the hottest names
on tour. It is so sophisticated that it allows customers future accessibility
to log on and reevaluate their lesson or receive additional instruction
in the privacy of home or office.

New Market Segments
As Golf has become the mega attraction for professional athletes and
armchair quarterbacks alike, so too has the appeal grown for the beginner
enthusiast, women and children. Our program totally capitalizes on
these new market segments by offering both Lady's and Junior clinics
and even venturing into the arena of "couple" or group lessons. We
are also providing some nine-hole golf excursion offerings to encourage
family participation or a day of golfing fun in a less intimidating
environment.

Equipment Program
At Elite Golf, we have secured an exclusive agreement with Nike
Golf to provide the hottest new styles in both product and apparel
and make it available onboard through our Nike Concept Stores. This
includes the brand new Slingshot clubs as well as caps, shoes, gloves
and apparel. Basically, we provide a tremendous vehicle for distribution
that is unique, creative and offers access to millions of captive,
vacationing passengers each year. Passengers now have the option to
"Pack Light" - and enjoy our complete rental or purchase program of
Clubs, shoes, balls, gloves, hats, range finders and the latest in
golf necessities.
Golf Excursions
Our staff has extensive experience in establishing international port
relationships and identifying the top and most playable golf courses
in the world. We have developed solid relationships with the decision
makers in these destinations and maintain a rigorous quality control
program to guarantee a memorable golf experience. The onboard golf
professionals arrange for our golfing passengers to be first off of
the vessel with appropriate transfers clearly designated and a guarantee
that the equipment, Pro and passenger can enjoy the course and return
to the vessel in a safe and timely manner for a relaxed departure.
Course selection and rates are seasonal and subject to change based
on our ongoing evaluation program.
