San Francisco, April 1, 2016 – For Father’s Day, it’s time to “Tee It Up for Dad.” The new promotion from GAME GOLF LIVE lets you give your best golfing buddy his own electronic coach that will show him the ins and outs of his golf game like never before. From May 27 to June 19, new GAME GOLF LIVE, the industry’s only shot-tracking system for all mobile and online devices, is $50 off at GAMEGOLF.com, golf specialty shops, more than 800 green grass pro shops; and on #AmazonLaunchpad.
For even more fun, upload a photo of Dad on the course (or you and Dad on the course) to Instagram, tag it with #GAMEGOLF, and you could win a GAME GOLF LIVE device. Then, you both can see your stats, like who hits the longest or is the most accurate off the tee, to earn the biggest bragging rights in the family.
GAME GOLF uses GPS motion sensor tags and near-field communication technology that is attached to the tip of the grips and a lightweight device that is worn on the belt. Golfers pull a club from their bags, touch the tag to their GAME GOLF device or Android phone, and hit their shots.
GAME GOLF captures robust data on each shot that is instantly visible on the GAME GOLF app, on any iOS (iPhone) or Android phone, smart watch (Apple and Pebble, Android Wear coming in May) or computer. Golfers are able to track true distances of every club, location of every shot, fairways hit, greens-in-regulation, putts per hole, the accuracy and distance of shots from the tee and on approach and more. The mapping system uses Google, Apple and BING Maps and includes a powerful course rangefinder. Editing data for accuracy and adding penalties is easy. All playing history and statistics are automatically backed up online. Golfers can analyze the data to find trends in their play and areas for improvement. Viewed on the web, Strokes Gained Analysis compares your information against the data of a scratch golfer and is the only system that gives TIPS to help you improve. Players are able to share their rounds via email, Facebook and Twitter.
The platform has over 33,000 courses mapped, more than 700,000 rounds of golf uploaded from more than 125 countries, and has captured data on more than 60 million golf shots. GAME GOLF has partnerships with the PGA of America, Golf Channel, Golf Channel Academy and Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. GAME GOLF is the first and only wearable technology that can be used in tournaments as permitted under the Rules of Golf by the R&A and USGA (when used without the App). GAME GOLF is endorsed by golf Professionals Graeme McDowell, Jim Furyk, Lee Westwood, Chesson Hadley and Sophie Walker. It has been adopted by leading Coaches and Golf Instructors.
