Golfzon has established its well-respected global reputation thanks to incredible technology and an ability for golfers to compete against one another from all over the world. The new TwoVision supports network play for tournaments / leagues and allows an unlimited number of live users to compete. Additionally, the system features new Par 3 Play, wherein players can compete and practice on some of the most famous short holes in the world.
