Game Golf has announced the launch of its free Android and iOS app, Game Golf Tracking, which will enable golfers to track their shots as they play their round.

The Game Golf Tracking app will provides golfers with an aerial view of each hole, distances to key locations using a GPS feature, and the ability to ‘tag’ each shot by selecting the club they used.

Golfers will also be able to see greens in regulations, fairway accuracy, scrambling percentage, putts per hole, club distances and more, and can view their data on their mobile device or on the Game Golf website.

“If you don’t truly understand your game it’s hard to improve,” John McGuire, CEO of Game Golf, told GM.

“Our free app allows golfers to see their shot performance in real-time, something which many amateur golfers will never have had access to before. It affords all golfers access to the Game Golf platform to gather stats, collect data and share their game with friends, family, coaches and instructors.”

In celebration of the new free app, Game Golf is giving away a once-in-a-lifetime Irish golf vacation. Two players, who post a minimum of three 18 hole rounds with either the Game Golf wearable device or the new app from now until June 30th 2015, will be eligible to receive an all-expense paid golf trip to Ireland for them and one guest each.
