GOLFZON GDR, the official training equipment for Korean National Golf Team, provides the most accurate simulation data by using a high speed dual camera sensor system. Combining convenient statistics graphics, swing shot videos and online services, aggregated practice data is analyzed to show players stats such as tee-shot, green-on, putting accuracy rates.

GOLFZON held the GDR donation ceremony with Chinese Taipei Golf Association on January 19, 2017 at Sunrise Golf & Country Club in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
