Game-tracking, like that offered by Mobitee, has got more and more popular among golfers as the technology gets better and clubs become more relaxed about mobile phones.
I was a bit slow to get into it as feared the set-up would take too long and the actual process of using a game-tracking device would distract me and have a negative impact on my game.
However, after trying a few out, the opposite was true.
Next up on the testing agenda was the Mobitee GPS Golf Assistant from PIQ which offers distances to the pin, auto shot-tracking and can even give you an analysis of your swing. Sounds awesome right?
How do you set up the Mobitee GPS Golf Assistant?
A small device attaches easily to the velcro strap on your glove and tags are then added to the butt of the grip of each club in your bag.
Everything is synced together using a free mobile app.
I was surprised at how easy this was to set up and it is helped by the fact each tag is already designated to a specific club.
So once you have popped the tags on the clubs, downloaded the app and paired it with the device on your glove, you are good to go.
How does the Mobitee GPS Golf Assistant work on the golf course?
Once at the golf course simply tell the app that you are about to play golf and it will detect which course you are playing.
Before each shot, tap the tag on the club on to the device attached to your glove and repeat the process for each shot.
You can use the app to see flyover views of each hole and get the distances you have hit the shot and what you have left to the flag.
What’s really cool is you can also get the distance to the middle of the green from the PIQ device on your glove.
