StrackaLine, a cutting-edge visual toolbox for putting, will provide American Junior Golf Association members with its laser scanned green guide technology as the Official Yardage and Greens Book of the AJGA through 2030.
Beginning in 2021, StrackaLine will add new membership benefits on-site at tournaments as well as a special discount in the Player Center. Seven and a half percent of all sales will also be donated back to the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program , the AJGA’s financial assistance program.
“We are proud that the AJGA chose StrackaLine to exclusively provide their members with the benefits of our greens reading technology,” said StrackaLine owner, Jim Stracka. “AJGA events are steppingstones to collegiate and professional careers for junior golfers. Since StrackaLine currently provides this same technology to collegiate and professional golfers, learning to use StrackaLine green reading technology as a junior, is essential to take their game to the next level”.
In coming years, StrackaLine will donate yardage books for future Wyndham Cup, PING Junior Solheim Cup and Junior Presidents Cup teams. StrackaLine will be featured on the tournament information pages of applicable courses on the AJGA schedule for easy access by tournament participants.
StrackaLine’s USGA compliant greens guides offer a level of detail and accuracy not available anywhere else for the most precise green reading. The yardage books include complete tee-to-green measurements for every hole.
Some of the AJGA’s iconic greens will be highlighted on social media, along with a unique social platform around the StrackaLine brand and technology.
“We are excited to partner with StrackaLine to bring a new form of on-course information to our junior membership,” said AJGA Chief Business Officer Jason Etzen. “StrackaLine’s added greens mapping at many of top host facilities will improve the overall playing experience for our members as well as positively impact pace of play and performance.”
