OnCore Golf and iCaddy Sign Memorandum of Understanding

Plan to develop and launch Google Glass app for golfers


BUFFALO, N.Y., May 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OnCore Golf, a rapidly expanding company focused on increasing the enjoyment of golf for players of all skill levels by developing and introducing exciting new golf products, has teamed up with David Grieshaber to assist in the financing, development, and launch of iCaddy. iCaddy is a golfer's dream app designed for Google Glass and patent-pending.  The app uses advanced optics within the Google Glass system to analyze a golfer's distance to the green, wind conditions, scoring, and make club selection recommendations, just like a live caddy would.  

iCaddy's founder, David Grieshaber, discusses the app's significance, "Put very simply, the iCaddy, does everything a real caddy would do, except carry your bag, all in the viewpoint of your Google Glasses.  I've watched the team at OnCore for a couple of years of now and always admired the way they push creative boundaries with their brand and their marketing approach. It made perfect sense to team with them and apply some of that creativity to the iCaddy!"  The OnCore/iCaddy team expect to have the app on the market later this year; concurrent with the planned release timing of the Google Glass devices.

Keith Blakely, OnCore Golf's Chairman, commented: "David is one of the most creative and inventive guys I've met and his iCaddy concept is brilliant.  Having a "personal assistant" with you on the golf course to integrate and use real-time information, course map data, and an individual's historical performance will make this wonderful game even more enjoyable for golfers at all skill levels.  That has been the mission of OnCore Golf from its inception and we have been very selective about the people and products that we partner with.  iCaddy is a great fit and we look forward to working closely with David to make it a huge success."

OnCore Golf, the manufacturer of the world's only hollow-metal core golf ball, has agreed to promote the app, once available, through their online pro-shop.  OnCore Golf's Vice President, Steve Coulton, remarked, "We believe that the combination of iCaddy and our hollow metal core golf ball will provide golfers with the ultimate playing experience!"
