Shot Scope for the past several years has been an industry leader in advanced GPS and shot tracking technology. Now the UK-based company has its sights (pardon the pun) set specifically on PGA Professionals, golf coaches and teachers with its new Shot Scope Academy. Described as a “first-of-its-kind game tracking system,’’ Shot Scope Academy uses advanced technology to establish unlimited connectivity between instructors and golfers to track and analyze their performance “on the course.”
“Instructors and golf teachers can use it to connect with as many of their students as they want,’’ said Gavin Dear, Shot Scope’s Chief Commercial Officer.
As part of the launch of Shot Scope Academy, which will be presented during the PGA Show in Orlando at booth #2231, the company signed partnerships with the Middle Atlantic PGA and Southern California PGASections, each of which which establish immediate integration with thousands of PGA Professionals on the East and West coasts of the U.S.
The Shot Scope Academy system, according to Dear, allows any type of instructor, from amateur teachers to collegiate coaches, to track the performance of a golfer using the company’s V3 Smart Watch or PRO LX+ Rangefinder models during a round of golf anywhere in the world. Following the round, all data captured from tee to green is seamlessly uploaded where the instructor can view and analyze the round and, in-turn, instantly send game improvement recommendations or lesson plans.
This enables an instructor to see first-hand the results of every shot hit on each hole during the round, including the club used, end location of the shot, and the hole score.
In fact, Shot Scope, Dear said, creates in-depth teaching insights with access to 100-plus statistics, including Strokes Gained and Handicap Benchmarking. This allows for truly structured lesson plans based on direct “on course” performance strengths and weaknesses.
“Aside of an actual playing lesson, never before in the game of golf have PGA Professionals, coaches and teachers had the opportunity to truly connect with golfers and their performance out on the course, until now,” Dear said, “Shot Scope Academy captures game performance so the instructor can better analyze the golf swing. It offers an unprecedented tether between instructor and golfer to track their performance by capturing every shot hit on the course, allowing the instructor to identify any common misses or trends in the golfer’s game and focus on the areas needed to take their game to the next level – whether that be swing changes or on course strategy.”
As part of Shot Scope Academy, which is a seamless and low-cost, yet high-tech system that comes with NO subscription fees, instructors can “supercharge’’ their lessons through an online dashboard and create tailored practice and training strategies for golfers based on their on-course performance data. They can connect with instant messaging and leave notes to highlight areas of excellence and improvement, while setting realistic targets and achievable goals.
The debut of Shot Scope Academy comes on the heels of the Company’s 2022 launch of PRO LX+, a first-of-its-kind, 3-in-1 rangefinder system featuring GPS-powered distances and performance tracking. This is complemented by Shot Scope’s V3, the first and only GPS Smart Golf Watch to feature artificial intelligence, offering real-time on-course performance tracking capabilities and precise distance measuring for golfers.
Shot Scope performance tracking products start from as little as $149.99 (H4 Handheld) and exclude any type of subscription fee. Purchases can be made either by the golfer directly or through a PGA Professional, coach or teacher, and users receive free unlimited access to the Shot Scope Academy dashboard.
