Traditionally, mention golf technology and you immediately think of the latest adjustability in drivers or some fancy tungsten weighting in irons. But in 2024, much of the innovation in the game centers around data and information - using cutting-edge technology to not only gain accurate yardages for the shot in hand but also glean insights into your performance. These nuggets of information are priceless in understanding how you compare with golfers of a similar ability or the handicap index you are aspiring to reach, enabling your precious practice time to be spent working on the areas of the game you know are holding you back from achieving your goals.
This data is collected through clever technology that marks shot locations using GPS and club-specific tags inserted in the ends of grips. When synced with an accompanying app, it opens up a dashboard of graphs, numbers and charts that demonstrate your performance in a visually appealing, easy-to-digest manner. One company that prides itself on its distance measuring and performance analysis capabilities is Shot Scope. This forward-thinking company has a wide range of products, including rangefinders, GPS devices and watches, that are able to provide not only accurate yardages to any point on the course a golfer is interested in but also provide that post-round data so golfers can see where they excelled and where they fell short of their desired benchmark.
Whether it’s the touchscreen X5 watch, which offers both full colour hole maps and shot-tracking capability, the handheld H4 GPS or the impressive Pro ZR rangefinder, golfers are able to equip themselves with game-changing technology from the Shot Scope range that is sure to have a positive impact on a golfer’s ability to shoot lower scores.
