GPS trackers give golfers a fresh edge

June 6, 2015 //  by GPS and Track

Arccos Golf and Game Golf systems allow recreational golfers to track their rounds like the pros

We know how much the global position system (GPS) in the sky has changed our lives. We can barely get to the corner grocery store without our smart phone telling us where to go.

In golf, the availability of GPS caused an explosion of companies founded to produce the better application or handheld gadget or wrist watch to provide yardage for players. And they’re popular. It beats searching for sprinkler heads.

I figured that was about as far as they could take the technology, that it would be quite a few more years before we could take another big step into the world of single-shot tracking for recreational golfers. The PGA Tour needed years and an army of technicians to create its own ShotLink.

Silly me, of course. Where there is a market and money to be made, bright people will find a way to break technology barriers, and it’s happened with a couple of systems that can give average hacks some fascinating, useful perspective on their games while providing more statistics than they could ever need.

In the current battle for the market, it’s Game Golf versus Arccos Golf, and we test drove each of them over the last couple of months. They both use very light sensors that are screwed into the butt end of the grip, enabling the GPS tracking. They both have some excellent qualities and their glitches, as well, particularly with the short game.

With Arccos you get real-time statistics out on the course; with Game Golf, you plug in your device at the end of the round. And you can look at those differences in a couple of ways. Some people just want to play golf and not be on their phone constantly, but still would enjoy seeing their round summarized. Others will revel in seeing every shot tracked live as if it were the Tour Championship.

Arccos Golf ($299)

The Arccos sensors are easily paired with a free iPhone app (right now it only works with iPhone), and it’s also compatible with the Apple Watch. From there, you find on the app the course you’re playing (it conveniently shows courses close to you) and you can see every shot tracked as you play.

You really bombed that drive and you want to know how far you hit it? Arccos tracks you as you’re arriving at the ball and gives you the distance. Instant gratification.

Ego stroking aside, there are some really valuable tools. Arccos (arccosgolf.com) compiles an amazing amount of stats, including average driving distance, longest drive, fairways hit, which side your miss on, greens in regulation, putts per hole, putts per green in regulation.

Easily one of the most useful aspects for me – and this applies to both Arccos and Game Golf – is the accumulation of statistics for each club. Knowing how far you actually hit each club – not what you think you hit it – is a must if you are to improve, and with either system you get that knowledge.
