PXG launched new communication technology into the golf world at the PGA Show in Orlando, with owner Bob Parsons taking questions live from Hawaii.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, PXG announced the signings of long hitters Marco Penge and Aldrich Potgieter, along with the launch of a new metal woods line called Lightning and the Gen8 irons. New athletes were featured in advertisements, golf club manufacturing processes were outlined, and a live Bob Parsons took questions in hologram form at the center of the exhibit.<\/p>\n
Not everything was golf-oriented, as Parsons described his charitable donations, his inability to sit still in school, his entrepreneurial spirit, and the pivotal moments that led to his success with GoDaddy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was either going to buy a golf course or a sports team,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cThe Browns (Cleveland) would have been available for purchase, but then we would have had to visit Cleveland once every two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hologram technology resembled a large, round mirror\u2014like one found in a grand closet\u2014that projected a near-3D version of Parsons seated in a high chair in front of a growing crowd at the PGA Show. Parsons himself had a similar system installed at his home in Hawaii, allowing him to communicate with the show in real time.<\/p>\n

Parsons fielded several golf-related questions, including one about his own club setup. He plays more than the average number of woods, carrying the Lightning driver through an 11-wood in the bag, along with a few hybrids, Sugar Daddy wedges, and a Battle Ready putter.<\/p>\n
When asked about new PXG athletes Penge and Potgieter, Parsons said, \u201cI like players that play our clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n
PXG does not only sign professional athletes; the company also features a number of celebrities. Parsons noted that country singer Darius Rucker is one of his favorite signings, though he was less enthusiastic about the idea of singing alongside him.<\/p>\n
Parsons continued taking questions for more than an hour and a half, pausing occasionally for water and to move around, with the holographic system capturing his movements in near-3D. One of the final questions of the event referenced one of Parsons\u2019 famous quotes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just something I said one day and it stuck \u2014 BOOM BABY!\u201d Parsons said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PXG Golf CEO Bob Parsons, on a live feed, answers questions remotely in real time from Orlando Sentinel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3026],"tags":[5643,5644,44,5642,5645,2202,3137,3681,3136,2095],"class_list":["post-13107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pxg","tag-aldrich-potgeiter","tag-gen8","tag-golf","tag-hologram","tag-lightning","tag-marco-penge","tag-parsons-xtreme-golf","tag-pga-show","tag-pxg","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
