Arccos Golf GPS Stat Tracking System

Billed as the golf industry’s first real-time stat tracking system, Arccos Golf ($400 suggested retail) maps, measures and records every shot taken during a round of golf. The smartphone app utilizes GPS and Bluetooth technology to automatically capture critical data—club distances, putts per round, greens hit in regulation, driving accuracy and more—to help players identify patterns and refine strategy. Just pair a sensor to each club just once and you’ll get all your stats right in your hand, instantly. arccosgolf.com
