Fuji clearly on a sunny day in winter!See the superb view of Izu Oshima Resort GC The Izu Oshima Resort Golf Club (formerly Oshima Golf Club), located near Okada Port, the gateway to Izu Oshima, can enjoy ocean views and nature.It is a popular golf course for tourists visiting.Izu Oshima Resort Golf Club's 8th / 17th par 3 (the same hole to turn 9 holes twice) has a hole -in -one unmanned confirmation machine since August 1, 2021.It is the world's first hole -in -one unmanned confirmation machine, but why was it installed?Mr. Kudo, Representative Director of Izu Oshima Resort GC GC, talks as follows."There is no caddy on this golf course. Some people have been happy to report that they have achieved hole -in -one several times a year, but in self -play, hole -in -one insurance does not fall.If you introduce a hole -in -one unmanned confirmation machine, you will be subject to hole -in -one insurance, no false declaration. This is the biggest reason you installed. "increase."Originally, about 10 years ago, I had a patent for the unmanned confirmation machine, but at that time the camera performance was not as good as it is now, so the problem was in the state of accumulation.However, with the recent improvement of camera performance and the cooperation of SECOM Corporation, it has been repeated trial and error, and it has finally been introduced.

Consider leasing to other golf courses in the future

In the future, this hole -in -one unmanned confirmation machine may be seen on golf courses nationwide: Providing golf course

　The hole -in -one unmanned confirmation machine installed this time is a mechanism that allows you to confirm the hole -in -one with a high -performance camera that can be reflected from the teeing area to the green.Whole -in -one is a longing for golfers, while the hole -in -one achievements may be forced to spend a lot of money, such as having a culture of having a luxurious party inviting stakeholders.For this reason, some insurance companies provide a hole -in -one insurance company that pays 300,000 to 1 million yen for the cost of parties and souvenirs when achieving a hole -in -one.Naturally, a proof by a third party is required, but in the Izu Oshima Resort GC where the caddy is not resident, the camera proves the hole -in -one instead of the caddy.Unfortunately, until October 28, the hole -in -one unmanned confirmation machine was established in August, and from October 28, there were no hole -in -one achievements at the golf course, and it seems that there is no opportunity for a hole -in -one unmanned confirmation to be active.am.By the way, it seems that leasing to other golf courses is also being considered for the unmanned hole -in -one.
