Windy
Knoll Golf Club in Springfield, Ohio holds the honor of being the first of the
world’s more than 35,000 golf courses to use the Neoteric Hovercraft Cart, the
official limited edition replica of Bubba Watson’s BW1, also manufactured by Neoteric.
The club’s
two Neoteric HoverGolf™ Carts were
unveiled July 27 at their star-studded Hover
Bash, with LPGA Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez, golfer Paige Mackenzie and Tim
Rosaforte of the Golf Channel. The day featured golf clinics, a shotgun
scramble, a huge dinner party, a massive fireworks display – and hovercraft
golf cart rides with Neoteric's president Chris Fitzgerald and flight instructor Steve Stafford …
Reporting
live from the Hover Bash, the Golf
Channel’s Matt Ginella got behind the controls of a HoverGolf™ Cart and quickly
grasped its unique nature. “You’re
piloting, you’re flying the hovercraft … it’s a lot easier than you might
think, and it’s just an absolute blast! I’m impressed – going from the land to
water is seamless,” he said.

Just like
their hovercraft golf carts fly on a cushion of air, Windy Knoll is floating on
a cushion of national and international publicity, attracting attention from
ABC News, NPR, the Huffington Post and more.
“They’ve already paid for themselves
with the notoriety,”
says Dave Duffey, Windy Knoll’s General Manager.
Managing
Director Pete Duffey agrees, “We see this
as a fun opportunity to promote our town and, of course, Windy Knoll Golf Club,
and we’ve already started to reap the benefits.”
And there’s
no doubt the benefits will continue for the long term: hovercraft always arouse
more interest and curiosity than just about any other vehicle in existence!
