&lt;p&gt;Following considerable market build-up and anticipation, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://avagolf.com/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;AVA Golf&lt;/a&gt;&amp;trade;&amp;nbsp;platform is now onboarding early adopters, helping golfers better understand what&amp;rsquo;s impacting&amp;nbsp;their games by translating data insights into personalized instruction video playlists for&amp;nbsp;meaningful improvement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first of its kind, AVA Golf connects the tools golfers already use &amp;ndash; including simulators,&amp;nbsp;launch monitors and on-course performance tracking &amp;ndash; to the AVA Golf platform, leveraging the&amp;nbsp;data derived to identify the patterns most affecting scoring and overall performance. Machine&amp;nbsp;learning subsequently delivers three- to seven-minute instruction videos precisely matching&amp;nbsp;each golfer&amp;rsquo;s unique play characteristics as his or her game evolves from tee to green.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The platform launches with a comprehensive library of content filmed specifically for AVA Golf.&amp;nbsp;Featured instructors include Golf Digest &amp;ldquo;50 Best Teachers in America&amp;rdquo; Cheryl Anderson (Lake&amp;nbsp;Mary, Fla.), GOLF Magazine &amp;ldquo;Top 100 Teachers in America&amp;rdquo; Mike Malizia (Jupiter, Fla.) and&amp;nbsp;Jason Birnbaum (West Nyack, N.Y., instructor for four-time PGA TOUR winner Chris Gotterup),&amp;nbsp;PGA TOUR Golf Academy coaches, and other renowned professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;AVA Golf was built around a problem many golfers face: they have access to more data than&amp;nbsp;ever but are confused and frustrated because they don&amp;rsquo;t know what the data means or how to&amp;nbsp;best use it,&amp;rdquo; said JR Charles, Founder and CEO of ParOne, AVA Golf, Inc.&amp;rsquo;s parent company.&amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;Now they have a structured, actionable plan for personalized progression that indisputably&amp;nbsp;correlates to fixing flaws in their games so they can get better faster.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The need for the type of tailored, science-based game progression AVA Golf provides is&amp;nbsp;exemplified by a waitlist of thousands of golfers intrigued by the subscription platform since&amp;nbsp;information about its development was released early this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Most golfers don&amp;rsquo;t struggle because they lack effort,&amp;rdquo; said Aron Sch&amp;uuml;ler, Director of&amp;nbsp;Engineering of AVA Golf. &amp;ldquo;They struggle because they don&amp;rsquo;t always know which issues are truly&amp;nbsp;costing them strokes. AVA Golf adds direction, offering mastery without guesswork by turning&amp;nbsp;ambiguity into easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement clarity.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adds Charles: &amp;ldquo;This isn&apos;t a simple, &amp;lsquo;Hey, you have a big slice&amp;rsquo; app. Instead, AVA Golf goes deeper to share, &amp;lsquo;Your -4 degree out-to-in swing path is costing you 7.8 strokes per round and here are specific instruction videos to help you waste fewer shots.&amp;rsquo;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Golfer subscriptions to AVA Golf are &lt;a href=&quot;https://avagolf.com/waitlist/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;available here&lt;/a&gt;. AVA Golf currently supports data derived from Arccos and Garmin sessions, with others coming soon. Companies which collect golfers&amp;rsquo; swing and game data may &lt;a href=&quot;https://avagolf.com/partners/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;apply here&lt;/a&gt; to receive compensation for connecting their platform to AVA Golf.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Charles continues: &amp;ldquo;There&amp;rsquo;s so much data out there that golfers struggle to know how to leverage it. &amp;nbsp;AVA Golf turns that into clear golf intelligence, removing the guesswork and saving time and frustration.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hundreds of AVA Golf videos are being produced by Golf Content Solutions and DJ Amerson of The Vortex, both well respected at the highest levels of the golf industry.&lt;/p&gt;

So why isn’t your handicap improving? Most golfers don&apos;t lack effort — they lack direction.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 19:17:58 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;You know your fairways hit percentage. You know your strokes gained around the green. You&apos;ve reviewed your simulator sessions, compared your launch data, and spent real money on instruction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And your handicap hasn&apos;t moved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This isn&apos;t a motivation problem. It isn&apos;t a talent ceiling. It&apos;s a structural one and it&apos;s more common than most serious golfers want to admit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;More Data, Same Scores&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Golfers today have access to performance technology that was once reserved for Tour players and elite programs. Shot tracking, launch monitors, simulator platforms, swing analysis apps &amp;mdash; the tools exist, they work, and the golfers who use them are genuinely more informed about their game than any previous generation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But informed and improving are not the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For most golfers, the data accumulates without connecting. Your on-course stats live in one place. Your simulator sessions in another. Your lesson feedback somewhere else entirely &amp;mdash; maybe in a note on your phone, maybe just in your memory. Each source tells you something real. None of them talk to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The result is that you end up with a detailed picture of your game that still doesn&apos;t tell you what to do next.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Interpretation Gap&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&apos;s the actual problem: tracking produces data, but data doesn&apos;t produce decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Knowing you lose strokes on approach shots inside 150 yards is useful. But it doesn&apos;t tell you whether that&apos;s a technique issue, a club selection pattern, a course management habit, or something that only shows up under pressure. Without that layer of interpretation, the data just confirms you have a problem without pointing toward a solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the gap most improvement tools don&apos;t address. They&apos;re built to capture and display. The translation &amp;mdash; from what happened, to what it means, to what you should do about it &amp;mdash; gets left to the golfer. And that&apos;s a significant ask, even for someone who&apos;s deeply engaged with their game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why Practice Doesn&apos;t Always Transfer&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&apos;s a second problem layered underneath the first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even when a golfer correctly identifies something to work on, the path from range session to on-course result is rarely clean. You can spend three sessions grooving a ball flight change and still revert under pressure. You can improve a specific metric in a simulator environment and not see it show up in your scorecard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This happens because practice and performance are two different contexts, and most improvement systems treat them as one. What you work on needs to be directly tied to what your full performance picture is telling you &amp;mdash; not just what felt off last Sunday or what your instructor mentioned six weeks ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without that continuity, improvement becomes episodic. Good stretches followed by regression. Progress that doesn&apos;t compound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What Structured Improvement Actually Requires&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The golfers who improve consistently &amp;mdash; not just occasionally &amp;mdash; tend to share a few things. They&apos;re not necessarily more talented or more disciplined. They just have clarity on three things at any given time:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where they&apos;re actually losing strokes.&lt;/strong&gt; Not a general sense of it, but a specific, data-grounded understanding of which parts of their game have the most impact on their scores right now.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to prioritize next.&lt;/strong&gt; Not a list of everything that needs work, but a ranked view of what moves the needle most given where their game currently is.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How their practice connects to their performance.&lt;/strong&gt; A feedback loop that tells them whether what they&apos;re working on is translating &amp;mdash; and adjusts when it isn&apos;t.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most golfers have access to the raw ingredients for all three. What&apos;s missing is the system that pulls them together and keeps them accountable to a plan that&apos;s actually built around their game &amp;mdash; not a generic framework designed for some average golfer they&apos;re not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Real Opportunity&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Golf improvement hasn&apos;t kept pace with golf technology. The tools got better. The framework for using them didn&apos;t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What serious golfers need now isn&apos;t another app that tracks more. It&apos;s golf intelligence &amp;mdash; a layer that sits across your existing data, identifies the real causes of your scoring gaps, and builds a clear, personalized path forward. One that evolves as your game does, so you&apos;re always working on what matters most right now, not what mattered three months ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&apos;s the difference between knowing your game and actually mastering it. Between putting in the work and knowing the work is pointed in the right direction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For golfers who are serious about improvement, that clarity isn&apos;t a luxury. It&apos;s the thing that&apos;s been missing the whole time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AVA Golf is being built for golfers who are serious about improvement.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Aron understands this problem-solution equation both as an engineer and a golfer,&amp;rdquo; said JR Charles, Founder and CEO of ParOne.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Equally important is the team forming around him that&amp;rsquo;s adept at deep engineering across infrastructure, analytics and machine learning.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The AVA Golf team is focused on solving a challenge at the heart of modern golf:&amp;nbsp; players have unprecedented access to data yet making sense of it to improve is a consistent source of frustration,&amp;rdquo; said Sch&amp;uuml;ler.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;AVA Golf&amp;rsquo;s purpose, practicality, ease of use and outcome orientation fill an intelligence gap in the market.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To the content leads. The media managers.&amp;nbsp; The editors, instructors, reps, and lean teams who carry the weight of growing an audience &amp;ndash; and justifying the cost of every video produced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is your invitation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne built and will launch in late June the new &lt;strong&gt;GolfCentral.tv,&lt;/strong&gt; because golf media deserves a central home to showcase their brilliant work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not just another place to upload videos, but a real destination where great golf content can be seen, discovered and monetized on your terms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What is GolfCentral.tv?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GolfCentral.tv&lt;/strong&gt; is an &lt;strong&gt;OTT platform dedicated to golf&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt;It will be available from Day One on &lt;strong&gt;iOS, Android and Web&lt;/strong&gt;, and soon &lt;strong&gt;Samsung, LG and Vizio CTVs, tvOS and Roku&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each creator and video rights holder of golf videos gets its own &lt;strong&gt;channel&lt;/strong&gt; and with it:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 24/7 &lt;strong&gt;FAST Channel&lt;/strong&gt; (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A full &lt;strong&gt;Video-on-Demand&lt;/strong&gt; platform&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You control monetization&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; sell your own ads, keep 70% of the revenue&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optional Season Pass subscriptions&lt;/strong&gt; (coming soon)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Livestreaming support&lt;/strong&gt; (coming soon)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We handle the tech.&amp;nbsp; We handle the infrastructure.&amp;nbsp; We handle the distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You focus on the content and building your audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GolfCentral.tv&lt;/strong&gt; is a platform for all of us.&amp;nbsp; A community.&amp;nbsp; A shared destination.&amp;nbsp; A rising tide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When one creator succeeds here, everyone benefits&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A fan who comes for a lesson might stay for a documentary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A highlights package might lead them to a new tour or a new voice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is how golf video grows &amp;ndash; not in silos, but together.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We will help define what golf media looks like &amp;ndash; together.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To join the movement, let&amp;rsquo;s talk:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the fourth AI tool ParOne has built for the golf industry&amp;nbsp;and the first from our new &lt;strong&gt;ParOne Venture Studio&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re opening up &lt;strong&gt;GolfCentral.tv&lt;/strong&gt; to you with purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

Unlike traditional sports channels that rely heavily on live tournaments, we developed our own FAST channel service for golf is built around&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;evergreen content&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;travel shows, exclusive interviews, golf lifestyle programming, instructional series, and contests. As we developed our FAST channel service, we uncovered crucial insights into why this type of content thrives in the FAST ecosystem and of course, had to add our own little bit of ParOne spice.&amp;nbsp; Read on to learn more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-market-use-case-for-evergreen-golf-fast-channels&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;The Market Use Case for Evergreen Golf FAST Channels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne has a unique vantage point in video distribution, powering over&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;1M video views daily&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and analyzing viewer behavior across different formats and regions. This deep insight has shown us why evergreen golf content is an ideal fit for FAST channels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;key-reasons-golf-content-benefits-from-fast-channels&quot;&gt;Things we learned about content&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Golf Travel is a Huge Draw&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ParOne&apos;s analytics show that golf travel content consistently ranks among the most-watched content topics across multiple platforms.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data trends indicate that audiences engage more with destination-focused golf experiences, particularly those featuring&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;top courses, unique golf resorts, and behind-the-scenes travel guides&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Instructional Content Stays Relevant&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Viewer data reveals that golf instruction content has &lt;strong&gt;a long shelf life&lt;/strong&gt;, with tutorials on specific shot types and common mistakes remaining popular year-round.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Interviews and Golf Culture Drive Engagement&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our analytics highlight strong interest in &lt;strong&gt;behind-the-scenes conversations&lt;/strong&gt; with golf influencers, legends, and industry professionals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Golf Contests and Challenges Make Great Programming&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Engagement metrics indicate that&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;user-driven contests and challenge-based content generate higher viewer interaction rates&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;than traditional programming &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;scheduling-content-was-hard--so-we-let-ai-figure-it-out&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Scheduling content was hard.&amp;nbsp; So we built our own AI-Driven Scheduler and it&apos;s a Game Changer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest challenges with FAST channels is creating a programming schedule that maximizes engagement. Traditional TV relies on human schedulers, but we found that&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AI-powered scheduling outperforms manual programming in nearly every way.&amp;nbsp; Suggesting content appear at top of the hour or :30 minute blocks is a legacy idea.&amp;nbsp; Users actually stayed on longer when this wasn&apos;t done.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;What we learned:&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;AI Optimizes Viewer Retention&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s AI scheduling system analyzes viewer patterns and dynamically adjusts programming to increase session lengths and reduce channel drop-off.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our data shows a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;20% improvement&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in average watch time when AI schedules content versus manual scheduling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI dynamically schedules lessons based on&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;viewer preferences, seasonality, and engagement patterns&lt;/strong&gt;, ensuring the right instructional content reaches the right audience at the optimal time.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;By analyzing interaction trends, ParOne&amp;rsquo;s AI also helps&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;surface the most effective and engaging coaching content&lt;/strong&gt;, keeping viewers coming back for more.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;By analyzing watch time and audience drop-off rates, we can determine &lt;strong&gt;which interview formats and topics perform best&lt;/strong&gt;, allowing content providers to refine their approach. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;AI Handled Content Placement&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI prioritizes high-retention content (e.g., travel features or golf tips) before ad breaks to maximize engagement.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We use machine learning models to analyze past performance and adjust scheduling daily.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This eliminates the need for human intervention while ensuring fresh content rotations. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;2-ad-tech-and-monetization-must-be-seamless&quot;&gt;AI Increased Ad Revenue&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FAST channels are ad-supported, but interruptions can ruin the experience if not handled correctly. We found that:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI-Optimized Ad Breaks Improve Revenue&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our AI dynamically places ads based on viewer engagement trends, reducing mid-content drop-offs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This will lead to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;higher CPMs and lower ad fatigue.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;3-distribution-strategy-is-critical&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Distribution strategy is critical, so we built something to address that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We recognized a gap in golf content availability on existing platforms.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Golf Central TV, powered by ParOne, provides a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;CTV-first&lt;/strong&gt; experience, giving brands complete control over content and monetization.&amp;nbsp; Stay tuned for updates regarding this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;why-golf-media-brands-should-launch-their-own-fast-channel&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Summary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expand Brand Reach and Control Distribution &lt;/strong&gt;-&amp;nbsp;Launching your own FAST channel empowers golf media brands to directly engage with their audience on a different platform. No longer at the mercy of third-party streaming platforms, brands can curate their content lineup and maximize audience retention by focusing on what resonates most with their viewers.... or just let our AI decide what&apos;s best. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Monetize Evergreen Content - &lt;/strong&gt;Golf media brands can turn timeless content&amp;mdash;like instructional videos, interviews, and golf travel shows&amp;mdash;into a steady revenue stream. FAST channels offer a monetization model that&apos;s scalable, where ads support the content without subscription barriers, allowing brands to earn revenue year-round. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Leverage AI for Smarter Programming - &lt;/strong&gt;With AI-driven content scheduling, golf media brands can ensure that the right content reaches viewers at the perfect moment, maximizing engagement and watch time. Automated, dynamic content scheduling helps reduce drop-offs and keep viewers tuned in longer, increasing the potential for monetization. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Capitalize on the Growing FAST Ecosystem - &lt;/strong&gt;As more viewers shift away from traditional cable and toward free streaming options, FAST channels represent a unique opportunity for golf media brands to tap into this growing trend. By launching a channel, golf brands can access an entirely new audience without relying on a subscription model. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Increase Revenue - &lt;/strong&gt;Fast-paced ad breaks can be disruptive. But with AI-optimized scheduling, golf media brands can seamlessly integrate advertising into their FAST channel programming, ensuring higher engagement, reduced viewer fatigue, and increased ad revenue&amp;mdash;all while keeping the viewer experience intact. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Create a Direct-to-Consumer Experience - &lt;/strong&gt;A dedicated FAST channel gives golf media brands direct access to their viewers without intermediaries. This direct connection ensures that content can be delivered on-demand and monetized efficiently, while also allowing brands to shape their viewer&amp;rsquo;s experience more closely.&lt;/p&gt;

September and October 2023 has been an exciting couple of months for us as we continue to expand and improve our services. This month, we put some additional touches on our data and analytics pipeline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;TPUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s TPUT (Tee to Putt User Token) enables partners to track video, ad, and call-to-action metrics on a per-user basis. You may provide a user email or some other UUID via the&amp;nbsp;&lt;code&gt;tput&lt;/code&gt; parameter.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;ParOne hashes the value stored instead of encrypting the data before sending it back to ParOne for analytics and data tracking. ParOne uses this hash to group analytics for a user. Hashing this data means ParOne does not store any user information.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;GDPR Compliance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data privacy and security are paramount concerns. ParOne offers a robust and GDPR-compliant solution for hashing emails for analytics tracking, ensuring the protection of sensitive user information while adhering to stringent data protection regulations. ParOne safeguards email addresses while remaining compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s approach goes a step further in compliance with GDPR by not storing personally identifiable information (PII) in its databases. Instead, only email address hashes are retained. This data minimization strategy aligns seamlessly with GDPR&amp;rsquo;s principles, which emphasize the reduction of unnecessary data processing and storage. As a result, the risk of data breaches and privacy violations is significantly reduced, as the actual email addresses remain untraceable, even within ParOne&apos;s own systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne utilizes industry-best practices and state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms to transform email addresses into irreversible hashes. This method ensures that the original email addresses cannot be reverse-engineered from the generated hash, guaranteeing a high level of data security. The hashing process does not involve the storage of actual email addresses, effectively minimizing the risk of data breaches and privacy violations. Furthermore, ParOne&amp;rsquo;s implementation adheres to GDPR&amp;rsquo;s strict guidelines by ensuring data minimization, consent-based processing, and robust security measures, all of which are fundamental principles of the regulation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Why we chose to Hash instead of Encryption&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Encryption algorithms take input and a secret key to generate random output called a ciphertext. This operation is reversible. Anyone who knows or obtains the secret key can decrypt the ciphertext and read the original input.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hashing functions are not reversible. Hashing performs a one-way transformation on an email or UUID, turning the email into another string, called the hashed email. &amp;ldquo;One-way&amp;rdquo; means that it is practically impossible to go the other way &amp;ndash; to turn the hashed email back into the original email. In authentication systems, when users send ParOne the email, the application code passes that email through a hashing function and stores the result in the database.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hashing is a cryptographic process that can be used to validate the authenticity and integrity of various types of input. It is widely used in authentication systems to avoid storing plaintext emails in databases but is also used to validate files, documents, and other types of data. Hashing is almost always preferable to encryption when storing emails inside databases because in the event of a compromise attackers will not get access to the plaintext emails.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Integration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To pass in a user&apos;s email or another UUID, simply add an attribute to any ParOne video player code snippet via the &lt;code&gt;tput&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre class=&quot;language-markup&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;!-- Pass in a user email --&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;parone-video-block tput=&quot;user@domain.com&quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now more than 100 metrics per video view&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At ParOne, we&apos;re always looking for ways to improve our data analytics from video.&amp;nbsp; ParOne now tracks over 100 metrics per video broken in four categories:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Per Video:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; ParOne tracks 26 metrics per video.&amp;nbsp; See (&lt;a href=&quot;https://parone.com/analytics/video/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) for a full list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Per Ad:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; ParOne tracks 14 metrics per ad.&amp;nbsp; See (&lt;a href=&quot;https://parone.com/analytics/ad/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) for a full list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Per User:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; ParOne tracks 41 metrics per user&amp;nbsp; See (&lt;a href=&quot;https://parone.com/analytics/tput/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) for a full list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Per Call to Action:&lt;/strong&gt; ParOne tracks 26 metrics per call to action. See (&lt;a href=&quot;https://parone.com/video/call-to-action/&quot; rel=&quot;follow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) for more details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Building a user experience that enables our partners to find the exact level of metrics they need was no easy task.&amp;nbsp; ParOne rebuilt it&apos;s entire Analytics and Data pipeline to ensure this level of robustness.&amp;nbsp; Users can select the metrics they&apos;re seeking and ParOne will display a charts over time as well as a table of information and of course, ParOne&apos;s commitment to user experience remains unquestioned:&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;We still output all of our analytics via API.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, there you have it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the features we&amp;rsquo;ve been working on this month! &lt;/strong&gt;These capabilities will allow you to understand your level of video detail greater than ever and we hope you like it.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded></item><item><title>New ParOne Features – August 2023</title><link>https://news.avagolf.com/news/new-parone-features-august-2023/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://news.avagolf.com/news/new-parone-features-august-2023/</guid><description>Welcome to the latest update from ParOne, the golf industry&apos;s video platform!

August 2023 has been an exciting month for us as we continue to expand and improve our services. This month, we focused on enhancing our backend processes to ensure seamless media ingestion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unified Video Import &amp;amp; Feedback&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At ParOne, we&apos;re always looking for ways to improve the user experience on our video platform. With more users uploading more videos, we realized our old video import process just wasn&apos;t cutting it anymore. &lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;So we did a major overhaul focused on two things: faster performance and easier expansion. We consolidated all our video import processes into one unified system. Now no matter where your video is coming from - whether it&apos;s &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;http://frame.io/&quot; data-sk=&quot;tooltip_parent&quot; delay=&quot;150&quot; data-stringify-link=&quot;http://Frame.io&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Frame.io&lt;/a&gt;, YouTube, or a direct upload - it flows through the same streamlined process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This means a few great things for you as a user. First, your videos now import faster than ever before. No more waiting around while that long upload queues up. Second, we&apos;ve improved the feedback you get during the import process. You&apos;ll see notifications tracking each video through three key stages:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/eJ119HYxQPOJQGExZj2j&quot; style=&quot;font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &apos;Segoe UI&apos;, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &apos;Open Sans&apos;, &apos;Helvetica Neue&apos;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Importing:&lt;/strong&gt; This is where we pull the video into ParOne from wherever it&apos;s coming from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Converting:&lt;/strong&gt; Next we optimize and transcode each video file. This is where we create thumbnails too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Transcribing:&lt;/strong&gt; The final stage runs the video through our AI transcription tool, generating captions. This improves accessibility and viewer engagement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Templates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Managing all the settings for your videos just got a whole lot easier.&lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We&apos;ve overhauled our templates so you can customize your content more precisely. Templates used to bundle everything together - availability, metadata, the works. Now we&apos;ve split them up into separate templates for:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;- Content Info - Video titles, descriptions, tags&lt;br&gt;- Availability - When and where videos are published&lt;br&gt;- Call-to-Actions - End screens, cards, overlays&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This modular approach makes templates way more flexible. For example, you can:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;- Use one metadata template across all your videos to brand them consistently.&lt;br&gt;- Set up different release schedules. Drop an availability template on interviews to publish them each week.&lt;br&gt;- Quickly add end screen templates to promote products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/pE60neTsRvi8qPhITrO4&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Applying templates is simple - just select the one you want from the dropdown menu in each section. With a couple clicks, your structured content and settings are applied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/ZkLTVOopQHe5G9wktSUI&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The modular templates make it a breeze to reuse your custom settings. For example, you can easily coordinate a set of video releases using an availability template. Just create a schedule template and drop it on each interview. Now your videos will publish automatically on the dates you picked. &lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Promoting products or memberships across videos is also simple. Set up a call-to-action template, then apply that template to each video with a single click.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The integration creates a seamless uni-directional workflow, allowing video teams to quickly sync content from Frame.io to ParOne.</description><pubDate>Tue, 27 Jun 2023 12:49:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ParOne recently launched an integration with &lt;a href=&quot;http://frame.io/&quot;&gt;Frame.io&lt;/a&gt;, connecting their video production management platform with our Video Content Management System. The integration creates a seamless uni-directional workflow, allowing video teams to quickly sync content from Frame.io to ParOne. Previously, users had to download files to their own machines and then re-upload the files to ParOne&apos;s systems wasting time that can be spent elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the ParOne and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://frame.io/&quot;&gt;Frame.io&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;integration, video teams can:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Send videos from Frame.io to ParOne with a single click via Custom Actions.&amp;nbsp; Videos and associated metadata are automatically transferred to the user&apos;s organization within ParOne.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upload Frame.io Presentations via our normal Add Video process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Replace existing videos with newer versions.&amp;nbsp; Frame.io users can simply use a share link to replace a ParOne video.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The integration saves significant time wasted on downloading and uploading video assets between the two systems by connecting them directly.&amp;nbsp; Transfers from Frame.io to ParOne finish in mere seconds and are not dependent on users staying connected.&amp;nbsp; Kick off the uploads and go play a short round without worrying about the upload progress bar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Using Presentation Links&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Frame.io tab is now available when uploading a video. Simply paste the share link of a video into the box (typically beginning with https://f.io) and hit the Import button.&amp;nbsp; Users can use this method to both create new videos and to replace existing video content.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/EGlsrNfSbOr4MAdhyCIA&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Using Custom Actions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Frame.io supports the creation of custom actions that enable users to right click on media assets and send them straight to ParOne from inside Frame.io.&amp;nbsp;This method is only available for creating a video.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/0uzbqPFzS46SIbIFZtea&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will display a pop-up that allows users to add some initial information about the video before sending it off to ParOne&apos;s systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every week our team works hard to add features to ParOne that you&amp;rsquo;ve been asking for, &lt;strong&gt;so we can keep helping even more golf websites do more with video.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes these might be small changes, other times they&amp;rsquo;re pretty big developments &amp;ndash; all with the aim to help you manage video content &lt;em&gt;even more &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;effortlessly&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, June has been no different! Nearly all of golf shuts down for the whole month because of the major season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s take a look at some of the main features that have changed this month&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video Uploading Becomes a Background Activity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The background video uploader allows you to continue using the app while your videos are uploading in the background. Just start an upload and continue editing other videos, managing your content, or reviewing reports. If you are subscribed to notifications, you&amp;rsquo;ll receive a notification once each video has completed processing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/uhonQYoRTCTXcSsoaAj7&quot; alt=&quot;undefined&quot; width=&quot;1022&quot; height=&quot;470&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upload Multiple Videos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now upload multiple videos instead of having to upload videos one by one and waiting until it&apos;s completed. Begin uploading one video, and then start a second one, a third one, or a 50th one. This saves an enormous amount of time and makes uploading multiple videos an seamless experience. No more waiting for videos to finish uploading one by one before selecting the next video.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/4xC21nMNRBq5v4LI1CUk&quot; alt=&quot;undefined&quot; width=&quot;772&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Replace a Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you ever uploaded a video only to realize there&amp;rsquo;s an issue with it after sharing or wanted to make a quick edit to an already uploaded video? With our new video replacement feature, you can quickly and easily replace an already uploaded video with a new upload. Just find the video you want to replace, select &amp;ldquo;Replace&amp;rdquo; and upload the new version. The old video will be removed and replaced instantly with your new upload, retaining all views, analytics and embeds. This ensures your content changes are reflected instantly across your site and any third-party websites your video may have been embedded on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.buttercms.com/7EipBA1R6JB8lSiDeUmg&quot; alt=&quot;undefined&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;416&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, there you have it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the features we&amp;rsquo;ve been working on this month! &lt;/strong&gt;These capabilities will allow you to upload and manage your video content more efficiently.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded></item><item><title>GOLF.com Selects ParOne’s Advanced Video Player Technology</title><link>https://news.avagolf.com/news/golfcom-selects-parones-advanced-video-player-technology/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://news.avagolf.com/news/golfcom-selects-parones-advanced-video-player-technology/</guid><description>GOLF.com has selected ParOne’s advanced video player to transform the leading golf website’s publishing to be even more reliable, immersive and feature-laden than ever.</description><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jun 2023 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(New York, NY) &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;ndash; GOLF.com has selected ParOne&amp;rsquo;s advanced video player to transform the leading golf website&amp;rsquo;s publishing to be even more reliable, immersive and feature-laden than ever.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Harnessing the power of video has never been more important,&amp;rdquo; says JR Charles, CEO of ParOne.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s why we commit significant resources to develop technology that replaces prior era platforms, is automated to the utmost degree and produces critical and extensive data to benefit precise decision-making.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

This element deepens relationships with publishers&amp;rsquo; client bases for expanded sponsorships.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Viewers click on an unobtrusive, horizontal bar on the bottom left of the screen to learn about and purchase golf offerings, and sponsored products and promotions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s solution is a new way for publishers and their brand partners to experience greater monetization&amp;rdquo; says JR Charles, CEO of ParOne.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;This is a form of native and affiliate marketing at its best.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The commerce-ready feature resides within the advanced ParOne Enterprise Video Player that powers websites&amp;rsquo; fast load times, rich data and analytics, captions, consistent metadata and other engagement and monetization elements.&amp;nbsp; ParOne&apos;s video technology captures more than 120 data dimensions which are tracked and summarized.&amp;nbsp; Integration and administration of the ParOne video player is easy on golf publishers&amp;rsquo; internal resources as they switch from antiquated video platforms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Launched in early 2021, ParOne also syndicates golf videos to top golf apps and websites globally, and streams live broadcasts of professional tournaments with language translations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The partnership gives Mediadrive the exclusive rights to sell and manage video advertising across the ParOne publisher portfolio of golf websites and golf apps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The program centers on ParOne dynamically inserting 15-second pre-roll and mid-roll video ads &amp;nbsp;at the beginning of each video and &amp;nbsp;intermittently during the video feed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon Bale, Founder and Managing Director of Mediadrive, commented &amp;lsquo;We&amp;rsquo;re delighted to partner with ParOne as we have been looking for an in-stream video solution for our brand advertisers. There&amp;rsquo;s a huge scarcity of quality video content in online golf media, and therefore the opportunities for brand advertising has been limited. Videos generate, on average, more than 90 percent greater engagement, double the brand retention and 20 to 30% more conversions than static content,&amp;rdquo;&amp;ldquo;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s vetted and qualified portfolio gives advertisers the peace of mind that their brand will be seen within quality content, on premium golf websites and apps, offering a scalable brand safe solution for our golf and lifestyle advertisers&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mediadrive have dominated &amp;nbsp;the golf media landscape in the U.K. and Europe for over a decade, &amp;nbsp;and maintain longstanding and trusted &amp;nbsp;marketing relationships with established and emerging brands looking to reach the golf audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The partnership with Mediadrive adds to ParOne&amp;rsquo;s rapid ascension in the golf industry.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Launched in early 2021, the company assembled top golf apps and websites in 20 countries to receive golf video content.&amp;nbsp; It also partners with brands, media and production companies worldwide to syndicate their golf videos, including highlight reels, video segments covering golf competitions, instruction, courses and resorts, travel, products and human-interest stories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, ParOne streams live broadcasts of professional tournaments on three continents to highly engaged &amp;nbsp;golf audiences.&amp;nbsp; ParOne technology also provides language translation unique to each viewing country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In modernizing how original and sponsored non-live videos and live tournament broadcasts are posted, distributed, accessed and consumed, ParOne forecasts 40 million unique monthly active in 2023, therefore making it the world&amp;rsquo;s largest connected golf media video network.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The dominant matchmaker for golfers to find playing partners and book tee times mainly in Malaysia and surrounding countries, thanks to ParOne, Deemples users now view interesting, informative and entertaining golf videos inside the app and website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne burst on the golf media scene last year, assembling a massive global distribution network that includes many of the world&amp;rsquo;s most engaging golf apps and websites reaching more than 15 million unique monthly users.&amp;nbsp; In modernizing how original and sponsored, non-live videos and live tournament broadcasts are posted, distributed, accessed and consumed, ParOne is expected to soon become the world&amp;rsquo;s largest connected golf media network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The automated ParOne model is simple:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Content producers upload their golf videos to the ParOne engine for distribution to golf apps and websites globally.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Content recipients select which golf videos in the ParOne engine they want to editorially feature in their golf apps and on their websites.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each type of participant generates greater awareness, engagement, SEO and revenue for brands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Video topics include tournament broadcasts and highlight reels, and video segments covering golf competitions, instruction, courses and resorts, travel, products and human-interest stories.&amp;nbsp; ParOne automatically translates content in more than 10 native languages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;App managers need to keep their downloaders consistently involved and prevent deletion of apps,&amp;rdquo; says David Wong, Founder and CEO of Deemples, whose &amp;ldquo;Never Golf Alone&amp;rdquo; campaign resonates mightily among golf communities.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Serving Deemples users with golf videos inside our app keeps them engaged beyond their desires to find playing partners and reserve tee times.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s offering aligns with golf&amp;rsquo;s participation surge and consumption trends.&amp;nbsp; The number of golfers rose by 600,000 golfers to 37.5 million in 2021 with growth evenly split evenly between on- and off-course.&amp;nbsp; On the business front, 23% of sports media budgets are shifting from traditional content delivery mechanisms to streaming and syndication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Central to the partnership is ParOne&amp;rsquo;s proprietary modernization of how original and sponsored videos are posted, distributed, accessed and consumed.&amp;nbsp; The company continues to enlist many of the world&amp;rsquo;s most engaging golf apps and websites to receive golf video content through ParOne&amp;rsquo;s automated distribution engine.&amp;nbsp; ParOne is expected to soon become the largest connected golf media network reaching more than 30 million active, transactional golfers each month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fire Pit Collective is a modern media company that produces intelligent, entertaining and often never-before-told golf stories in a read (articles) / watch (video) / listen (podcast) model.&amp;nbsp; Its authentic and diverse perspectives and narratives have already garnered a large and engaged audience since its launch earlier this year. &amp;nbsp;The Fire Pit Collective is led by Matt Ginella, formerly the &lt;em&gt;Golf Digest&lt;/em&gt; travel editor and on-air talent at Golf Channel, and Alan Shipnuck, best-selling author and former writer for &lt;em&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Golf Magazine&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the forefront of golf&amp;rsquo;s digital transformation and a first mover among the sports, digital, media and technology investor community, ParOne is targeting tours and media rights holders to live stream their golf tournament broadcasts to the company&amp;rsquo;s global distribution network of apps and websites totaling 15 million monthly active users.&amp;nbsp; This offering is massively groundbreaking in function and scale, and represents a new way for these content providers to realize substantially increased reach, viewership, engagement and revenue.&amp;nbsp; Unique to the market, tournament action, color commentary, interviews and highlights are automatically translated, via captions, into viewers&amp;rsquo; native languages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At its pioneering core, ParOne is modernizing how original and sponsored videos are posted, distributed, accessed and consumed on a global stage.&amp;nbsp; It continues to enlist many of the world&amp;rsquo;s most popular golf apps and websites to receive informative, instructional and entertaining golf video content through ParOne.&amp;nbsp; ParOne is expected to soon become the largest connected golf media network engaging more than 30 million active, transactional golfers monthly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upcoming ParOne interactive, on-screen features will further excite viewers who live stream golf broadcasts:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s prudent for tournament broadcasters to expand ways to connect with a much broader audience with no tape delays,&amp;rdquo; says JR Charles, CEO of ParOne. &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;Through ParOne, golfers and broadcasters are no longer bound by geographic and language boundaries &amp;ndash; golf is global and deserves to be amplified everywhere.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s focus on video distribution aligns with nearly 90% greater engagement than static content.&amp;nbsp; Video content typically enjoys double brand retention and 20% to 30% more conversions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The company&amp;rsquo;s pioneering, self-serve portal simplifies the media buying process whereby marketers select when their video content runs, who sees it and the golf apps and websites on which it appears.&amp;nbsp; As a one-stop distribution shop, ParOne augments media plans at scale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Through ParOne&amp;rsquo;s global distribution network, brands and media outlets now have access to the connected devices of millions of golf consumers they wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have reached otherwise.&amp;nbsp; In a short period of time, ParOne is poised to become the world&amp;rsquo;s largest connected golf media network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marketers of golf equipment, apparel, travel and resorts &amp;ndash; as well as non-endemic brands &amp;ndash; are already lined up to showcase their videos under Par One&amp;rsquo;s pay-for-performance model featuring a set cost per view.&amp;nbsp; Leading golf news sources, for the first time ever, have the ability to push entertaining, informative and instructional video through ParOne to golf apps and websites.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The timing of ParOne&amp;rsquo;s launch is opportune as golf reached unprecedented heights in 2020 with significant momentum in 2021. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Rounds were up 25% from June to December, new and returning golfers rose by 27% and sales of golf products sharply increased.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;With golf participation and consumerism red hot, marketers are wisely intensifying their spends,&amp;rdquo; says JR Charles, CEO of ParOne.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;ParOne is easy as 1-2-3 to administer and provides them a low-risk, no-waste, high return way for their videos to massively captivate their target markets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The thesis of our business is that golfers ostensibly live in their golf apps and websites. and no one other than ParOne has built a network that unites them all.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ParOne&amp;rsquo;s focus on video distribution aligns with nearly 90% greater engagement than static content.&amp;nbsp; Video content typically enjoys double brand retention and 20% to 30% more conversions.&lt;/p&gt;
