Can anyone direct me to Clubs / Web sites using this method of launching -
Interested in finding out more about this method, particularly from clubs
that operate from gravel/dirt strips

Thank you

Over the years Cotswold GC and Essex & Suffok GC in the UK used this method.
Cotswold abandoned it 2-3 years ago in favor of a winch. Not sure about E &
S. Differently designed between sites. E & S was over engineered in my
opinion. Cotswold's system was elegant in it's simplicity. I've stowed
some images of that here.

Both systems were used on paved surfaces.
