SWINDON, UK — 20 October, 2026 — Power Tee, a leading provider of automated driving range technology, today released results from Hensol Golf Academy showing that Power Tee helped boost the usage of the TrackMan range by 25%.
For golf facilities investing in technology to enhance the practice experience, adding more technology isn't necessarily the answer. The key is making the technology work together to create a better experience for golfers.
At Hensol Golf Academy in the United Kingdom, the combination of TrackMan Range and Power Tee automated teeing systems has helped create a premium practice environment while driving significant increases in range usage and customer engagement.
A Technology-Focused Practice Facility
Hensol Golf Academy is one of South Wales' leading golf practice facilities, offering golfers of all abilities access to premium coaching, custom fitting and a modern TrackMan-powered driving range.
The facility features:
- 19 TrackMan Range bays
- PGA Professional coaching
- A custom fitting center
- Golf retail
- An indoor simulator
With TrackMan providing golfers with detailed performance data and Power Tee automatically teeing the ball for every shot, the two technologies work together to create a more seamless practice experience.
The Results
The impact can be seen in Hensol's TrackMan usage figures.
Comparing October–December 2024, before Power Tee, with October–December 2025, after Power Tee, the academy recorded substantial increases across every tracked metric.
• Balls tracked increased by 25%
• TrackMan app strokes increased 29.4%
• TrackMan logins rose 31.9%
• Strokes per bay grew 24.3%
• App strokes per bay soared 31%, and
• Strokes per session were up 11.9%
The increase in TrackMan activity suggests that golfers were not simply visiting the facility—they were engaging more deeply with the technology and hitting more shots during their sessions.
The data shows that the combination of automated teeing and performance technology can help facilities encourage golfers to make greater use of the practice environment.
Creating a Better TrackMan Experience
TrackMan gives golfers the data and feedback to understand their performance.
Power Tee complements that technology by taking care of something much simpler: getting the next ball into position.
Instead of stopping to manually position a ball after every shot, golfers can maintain a more consistent rhythm throughout their practice session. The result is a combination of technology, convenience and continuity that allows golfers to spend more of their time actually hitting shots and engaging with their TrackMan data.
For a facility such as Hensol, that creates a more premium experience without requiring golfers to change the way they use TrackMan.
What Hensol Golf Academy Says
Hensol Golf Academy Co-Owner and PGA Head Professional Aled Griffiths said the decision to install Power Tee has had a significant impact on the facility.
“Choosing to install Power Tee has been one of the best decisions we've made for the driving range,” he said. “Combined with TrackMan, it's transformed the overall practice experience for our customers.”
He also highlighted golfers' appreciation of the convenience and consistency of automatic teeing, along with increased range usage and customer engagement.
The Takeaway for TrackMan Facilities
For golf facilities that have already invested in TrackMan, the next opportunity may not be another piece of analytics technology.
It may be improving the experience around the technology.
Power Tee provides automatic, consistent ball delivery that complements TrackMan's shot-tracking and performance data—helping create a practice experience that is easier, more engaging and more productive for golfers.
For operators, the combination can also help maximize the value of an existing TrackMan investment by increasing activity within each bay, encouraging greater usage and creating a more differentiated practice environment.
Hensol Golf Academy's results demonstrate what can happen when golfers have both technologies working together: more balls hit, more TrackMan activity, more strokes per bay and greater engagement with the practice experience.
