Update: May 15th, 2008 Mr. Mark Woodward and staff do not grant us access to the
course to produce the HD Tour. Would have taken no more than 5 minutes per location.

The Project:

360View.com is  proud to announce the worldwide launch for the HDVT (high-definition virtual tour) of Torrey Pines Golf Course, home of this years USGA U.S. Open. This will be a 54 scene, full screen, walk-through tour of all 18 holes on the award winning south course. Starting out from hole one, you will stand on the tee and look across the fairway where you can zoom in on any area. A link will direct you to the next area on the fairway where you can continue to the putting green. The initial plan calls for three scenes for every hole, tee off, fairway and green. Upon entering, you will view a golf pro to describe the course and be your 360TourGuide. This will be integrated into the tour utilizing quick loading HD Flash video. Production is scheduled immediately after the final preparation of the course in mid May, while still closed to the public. We have contacted the city officials to start the approval process.

 

Sponsorship Advertising Opportunity:

Global exposure for 5 years, minimum.

Select the hole and location for either the tee off, fairway or putting green to have your logo inserted with a direct link to your web site. You may pick one or all three. Your logo can also be inserted in the area outside of the HDVT. Customized objects can be placed inside each scene and linked to your web site. You can use this in your advertising campaigns for contests. One example might be to challenge visitors to find the new Callaway FT-i Driver on hole 12 for a chance to win a set of new clubs.

 

Promotion:
A worldwide press release is scheduled for June 1st. 2008. The tour will be linked to the courses official site as well as Sports Illustrated and CNN's site, Golf.com, TheBestofAmerica.org and VirtualLaJolla.com.

 

Past Events:

You can see a virtual tour of the Masters Course in Augusta here. This was done with older technology back in 2000. Last years web stats for the U.S. Open in Oakmont received over 21, 000 hits for the month of the event. This was achieved without any promotion or virtual tour of the course.

 

It is estimated that over 40,000 spectators will be attending the event for each of the 4 championship days.
