Identified as a true asset to the Augusta community, The Practice Club at Jones Creek, reopened its doors again on April 3, 2023.
Now that date doesn’t mean much to that many people, but it was a significant date to Andrew Brooks, CEO of Bond Golf Global, LLC of Aiken, South Carolina.
To the golfing world, April 3rd this year is also known as Masters Monday. When all the Professional Golfers playing at Augusta National are in town for this fabled Major Event.
“We are proud to be associated with this facility, reinvesting in the storied Jones Creek Golf Club, and very proud to make The Practice Club available to the golfing community around Augusta with TopTracer Range Technology at the center of the facility,” Brooks commented during the opening.
Many thanks were given out, along with the back story that this came to a reality in January at the annual PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, Florida. After approaching Callaway and their TopTracer technology to be used at the facility… a green light was given by TopTracer approximately 6-weeks ago, and the decision was made to make it happen with an opening day of Masters Monday.
“We were under the gun at that point to make it happen,” commented Brooks. “When people believe in your vision as much as Callaway did, giving us their full support… we had to make it work, and all hands were on deck,” Brooks went on to explain.
“It is our honor at Callaway and TopTracer to be involved with the redevelopment of this practice facility and bringing the game back to the community here in Augusta,” Chip Brewer, CEO of Callaway stated.
“There is so much momentum happening in the golf industry right now,” Brewer stated. We went on to say, “I grew up with the Traditional Game of Golf… yet I also realize that in order to grow the game, golfers must except change.”
“Golf right now, is at an intersection of technology, youth activities, diversity and has a new form of energy, that embodies a facility like The Practice Club at Jones Creek, that will facility like The Practice Club at Jones Creek, that will facilitate golfers learning into the future,” Brewer said.
“Golfers like me that want to improve their game have to except the change. Taking a lesson with the likes of Darren May, one of the partners in The Practice Club, or one of the professional that will be working here. Heck… I may even take on a few junior golfers to a game of “Go Fish” as a part of the TopTracer Range Technology,”
