Bristol, CT: ESPN – The Worldwide Leader in Sports – recently turned to FSG to create the ultimate interactive golf village for the company's annual employee bash, ESPN-The Picnic, 2007. With over 6,000 ESPN friends and family members in attendance at Bristol's Lake Compounce Family Theme Park, guests were treated to "The ESPN Golf School Experience" where a portion of the park was transformed into a golf oasis. The village included a contoured putting green, a custom island target green and two Full Swing Golf Simulators for play. One simulator was used exclusively by the ESPN Golf School Instruction Staff for lessons throughout the day while the second simulator was customized with FSG's exclusive Online Tournament Software for a Long Drive Contest on the 18th Tee at the famed Old Course at St. Andrews. Adding to the excitement, high definition plasma screens were installed throughout the park - featuring a custom ESPN Long Drive Leaderboard - allowing player statistics and results to be broadcast live and in real time.
