Hello Caddy, which supports golfers\u2019 convenient <\/strong><\/h1>

self-play like professional caddies<\/strong><\/h1>

\u00a0<\/h4>

\"\"<\/p>

TTNG has developed HelloCaddy by incorporating the latest IT technology into electric full-karts to maximize<\/div>
the enjoyment of golf and minimize the inconvenience of playing without caddies.<\/div>

\u00a0<\/h4>

Robot carts developed with domestic technology are revitalizing golf courses where self-play is being activated.<\/p>

TNG Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Bae-hee), a golf course IT venture, has developed and supplied a robot cart\u00a0called<\/span><\/p>

“HelloCaddy”\u00a0<\/span>that automatically carries golf bags and provides round information.\u00a0<\/span>The product\u00a0<\/span>automatically<\/span><\/p>

follows golfers, carries golf bags, and provides key information necessary for the round, such as course information<\/span><\/p>

and\u00a0<\/span>safety distance between teams.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As golf is rapidly transforming from business to leisure and sports due to the growth of the golf population<\/p>

and market reform centered on popular golf courses, more and more golf courses are not mandatory for caddies<\/p>

due to cost burdens and employment problems.\u00a0Golf courses trying to break away from the caddie\u00a0<\/span>system<\/span><\/p>

are making various attempts, including single-person electric full-karts, driverless golf cars, one or two-seater<\/span><\/p>

boarding carts,\u00a0<\/span>and marshal caddies, and more than 100 golf courses have already implemented<\/span><\/p>

the no-caddie or caddie option system.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

TTNG has developed HelloCaddy by incorporating the latest IT technology into electric<\/p>

full-karts to maximize the enjoyment of golf and minimize the inconvenience of playing without caddies.<\/p>

While the existing electric full-kart was a way for a golfer to walk while holding a handle, HelloCaddy follows<\/p>

the golfer by himself according to the name of the robot cart and frees the golfer’s hand.\u00a0\u00a0On top of that,<\/span><\/p>

it is said that it has created the golf experience closest to playing with a caddie by providing information<\/span><\/p>

on the course or necessary for the round provided by the existing caddie.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

HelloCaddy is equipped with various technologies such as tracking driving technology based on positioning,<\/p>

\u00a0LiDAR sensors, motion direction control technology, and support for caddy services using GPS to implement stable<\/p>

automatic driving.\u00a0The lidar sensor mounted on the cart moves while maintaining a certain distance from the golfer,<\/span><\/p>

and if an obstacle is found, it secures the safety of the golfer and the cart with an emergency stop function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Motion assist\u00a0<\/span>driving\u00a0<\/span>allows a slope\u00a0<\/span>to appear only by changing the direction of the cart handle\u00a0<\/span>without<\/span><\/p>

much force when driving is difficult, such as a steep slope of about 15 degrees or more.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The display terminal mounted on the cart supports services such as course information,\u00a0<\/p>

safe distance between teams, and score registration to relieve the inconvenience of caddy absence.<\/p>

HelloCaddy can provide more diverse services by linking with the golf course operation platform “POPGOLF”\u00a0<\/p>

developed\u00a0by TTNG.\u00a0<\/span>Through the game control system, convenient service functions for golfers and golf courses<\/span><\/p>

such\u00a0<\/span>as exchanging cart location information and communication messages, game records, ordering\u00a0<\/span>food and<\/span><\/p>

beverages, unmanned settlement, and sending emergency response messages (in case of a golfer safety accident)<\/span><\/p>

will be expanded.\u00a0<\/span>The cart body looks like a conventional full cart or has a structure with the\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>top of the golf\u00a0<\/span>bag<\/span><\/p>

facing the front, making it easy for golfers to take out the club. It is equipped with a dual BLDC 350W motor,<\/span><\/p>

has a maximum speed of 9km\/h, a capacity of 15 degrees, and is equipped with a 36V 10Ah lithium-ion battery,<\/span><\/p>

which can run up to 25km.\u00a0<\/span>It can be loaded up to 50kg and can be equipped with cup holders, baskets,<\/span><\/p>

putter holders, divot containers and holders as accessories.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/h1>

The introduction of HelloCaddy can provide benefits not only to the operation of no-caddy but also to golf<\/p>

courses and golfers. Golf courses can solve the problem of caddie supply and demand, and at the same time,<\/p>

\u00a0improve the workload of existing caddies. In addition, it is possible to try various types of game management, away<\/p>

from the\u00a0existing\u00a0<\/span>four-person round such as a 2\/3\/5 self-round, thereby securing potential customers and improving<\/span><\/p>

profitability.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Golfers can drastically reduce round costs such as caddie and cart fees, and enjoy new golf through self-play.\u00a0<\/p>

The “working golf” experience, in which people walk directly on the course instead of the existing boarding golf car,<\/p>

is also a big change, allowing them to take emotional stability as well as exercise effects.\u00a0TTNG believes that if the<\/span><\/p>

spread\u00a0<\/span>of\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Hello Caddie expands, golf will become a reasonable living sport and reduce social awareness that has<\/span><\/p>

been\u00a0<\/span>negative about golf.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

HelloCaddy is currently being introduced at Kolon Golf Garden in Gyeongju, Gochang, Lotte Skyhill Jeju, Blue Heron,\u00a0<\/p>

Sagewood, Cheonan Sangnok, Army Sangmu University Physical Training Center, and Yeosu Maritime\u00a0Police\u00a0<\/span>Education<\/span><\/p>

Center Physical Training Center.\u00a0<\/span>TTNG has six patents related to HelloCady, and U.S. patent registration, application,<\/span><\/p>

and PCT application are also in progress. In addition, the quality is recognized by completing the Public Procurement<\/span><\/p>

Service’s\u00a0<\/span>competitive bidding procurement registration certification, excellent R&D innovative product\u00a0<\/span>certification<\/span><\/p>

(Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy Support), and FCC and KC certification.\u00a0<\/span>In order to advance the cart\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span><\/p>

system\u00a0<\/span>in the future, it is also planning to develop real-time cart road autonomous driving<\/span><\/p>

and course obstacle detection technology through camera image data analysis.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Lee Bae-hee, CEO of TTNG, said, “HelloCaddy will be the smartest choice for realizing no-caddy<\/p>

self-play and a groundbreaking solution with infinite scalability to improve the constitution of golf course operation<\/p>

and even\u00a0build an integrated golf course operation system.”<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>
