Golf Innerview with Ann Liguori

How shot tracking is improving the game

Shot Scope CCO Gavin Dear joins host Ann Liguori to talk about the benefits of the technology and how his company is carving out its niche

One of the easiest ways to improve your golf game is through data. Statistics as simple as the number of putts for a round or fairways hit in regulation can lead to significant changes if processed properly.

And, today, there is no shortage of shot tracking technology available. Shot Scope is positioning itself as a leader in this area, and company chief commercial officer Gavin Dear joins host Ann Liguori to talk about the benefits of its products.

Dear, a former U.K. Walker Cup player, also discusses his amateur career, how amateurs can improve from shot tracking data and whether there is a place for rangefinders in the professional game.
