NGF reports agreement with The Weather Channel Interactive

JUPITER, Fla. -- National Golf Foundation is pleased to announce a new three-year data licensing agreement with The Weather Channel Interactive, Inc. NGF has supplied the golf course information featured on Weather.com since 2003 and this agreement officially extends this relationship into 2011. Weather.com ranks as one of the most popular consumer websites providing daily golf forecasts and detailed directory listings for every active golf course in the U.S. The golf directory sections of Weather.com will soon feature a “Powered by NGF” icon where users will be able to update any of the golf course information displayed on the website.

These updates will then feed directly to NGF Database Services for review and verification.

NGF Database Services provides clients with the most accurate, comprehensive, and in-depth golf industry data found anywhere, and NGF works with each client to develop a data licensing solution that best matches the content demands of their website or product application. NGF Database Services also serves as the market leader in providing the richest mailing and prospect lists to any business that sells its products or services to golf courses.

Current data licensing clients include consumer-based websites such as GolfLink.com, GolfNow.com, NetHandicap.com, MyCaddy.com, GolfingMyWay.com, PlayersPass.com, GetGolf.com, and product application companies like NAVTEQ, DENSO, UPlay, iMapData and Never-Search.
