Scottsdale, AZ, December 6, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Many GolfBoard fans will have their first “Surf The Earth” experience at the Golf Digest Gauntlet Tournament during Scottsdale Golf Week December 7th-11th, where participants will be able to ride GolfBoards on three of Scottsdale’s premier courses. New riders will receive personal instruction from GolfBoard President Jeff Dowell, and other brand ambassadors who will provide hands-on hints and tips for how to enjoy the terrain in an entirely new way.
“This is our third event partnering with Golf Digest to provide tournament players a unique golf experience,” says Jeff Dowell President of GolfBoard. “The response is always overwhelmingly favorable. Golfers of all ages and athletic abilities quickly discover how easy it is to GolfBoard, with many never wanting to go back to inactively riding in a cart.

About GolfBoard
Conceived by Bally Total Fitness Founder Don Wildman, and legendary big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, GolfBoarding is an entirely new way to experience the game of golf. The four-wheel drive, Li-ion powered electric board allows users to turn by simply transferring their body weight as if they were surfing or snowboarding. GolfBoards are durable and built with a safety-first, user-friendly mantra to provide golfers a more active and engaging alternative to passively riding in a cart.
GolfBoard is now available at 250 courses in the US, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and Indonesia, and has distributors in Switzerland and Australia. There are nearly 2,000 GolfBoards currently in service, and Sol Boards Inc. is expecting to nearly double its global footprint by the end of 2017.
