Data and artificial intelligence is fast-becoming the most prevalent force in our daily lives and golf is no exception to this. Advances in technology are allowing us to gain a level of understanding about our play that has previously only been accessible to tour players, whether that’s from innovation in shot-tracking capabilities or how the data is then used and interpreted. One thing’s for sure, if you aren’t using data in some shape or form to analyse your performance - you’re going to be left behind versus the competition.
One company that specialises in on course data and how golfers can use this to play better is Golfshot. Golfshot is one of the most feature-packed, multi-purpose golf apps on the market – a product that tracked over 57 million shots in 2023 and played a combined 24 million hours of golf. Not only does it provide accurate GPS Distances, but its Auto Shot Tracking and Auto Strokes Gained features allow users to seamlessly track performance and then display this in a digestible format.
Being able to benchmark your performance and see how you compare with golfers of a similar ability is a real eye-opener and crucial in seeing where you really need to improve. Golfshot’s other features can fast track your improvement by taking what you learn from the on-course data and making appropriate changes to your technique on the driving range. By linking what you do in practice and on the course, you know you’ll be working on the right things.
Below, we’ve collated the best pieces of advice and information around data in golf in one place so you can understand what it can do for your game.
