Shot Scope, the golf industry leader in advanced GPS and shot tracking technology, has introduced a new feature called ‘hole maps’ to its market-leading X5 watch. This feature overlays individual data onto every hole through an interactive map view, allowing golfers to efficiently navigate the course using their own yardages. This innovation marks the first time players can access their personalized data mapped onto the current hole, enhancing their ability to tackle any course strategically.
David Hunter, CEO of Shot Scope, highlights the significance of this addition: “The addition of hole maps to the X5 is something existing users can really make use of, seeing how the bank of statistics they’ve already collected can be used to inform their round as they take on each hole.”
Shot Scope: “Full Hole Maps” on over 36,000 golf courses worldwide
These hole maps are available for free via a firmware update to any Shot Scope X5 user and provide detailed layouts of every hole, including distances to the pin and middle of the green. The X5 now serves as a comprehensive course guide on the wrist, tailored with individual data to assist in making key strategic decisions.
Furthermore, the X5’s full-color touchscreen display utilizes personalized data to access Performance-Average distances for a golfer’s three longest clubs, aiding in informed club selection off the tee. The zoom map and target line features help golfers find the perfect line off the tee, reducing the impact of blind tee shots and providing data that a laser alone cannot.
The new hole maps establish the X5 as a GPS golf watch with unmatched performance qualities, including automatic performance tracking and over 100 statistics, such as Strokes Gained. Real-time distances to all greens, hazards, and doglegs on over 36,000 preloaded courses worldwide ensure golfers have everything they need on their wrist while they play.
Priced at $299.99, the X5 is part of Shot Scope’s affordable high-tech GPS and performance tracking products, which have no subscription fees and offer free firmware updates. With these innovative features, Shot Scope continues to redefine the GPS watch category, connecting data and golfers to drive improvement on the course.
