Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Phil Tralies, CEO of Club Car, Augusta, Georgia. States that "while some companies think outside the box, Phil Tralies...had his designers take the box, ask customers what was wrong with it, and then redesign the whole thing." Discusses the partnership that Tralies formed with UpLink Corp, resulting in "golf cars that can essentially monitor themselves. No more worrying about golfers obeying a car-paths-only rule. If a car strays from the path, the car issues a verbal warning. If the car doesn't return to the path, it shuts down." Interviews Tralies about his accomplishments, Club Car's build-to-order vehicles, his role on the executive committee of Golf 20/20, and the controversy surrounding Augusta National Golf Club. |
