Have you done all your Christmas shopping yet?
Well, this is the last chance to get some golfing gift ideas from our All the Gear column before the big day…
Arccos Caddie now permitted for use under the Rules of Golf
This is fantastic news. Pardon? What is Arccos Caddie? Where have you been?
Arccos Caddie is an upgrade option on the Arccos 360 game-tracking system which automatically tracks your shots and provides detailed statistics from your round.
Arccos sensors are built in to the grips of Cobra’s F8 clubs for 2018. You can read our review of the Arccos 360 here.
The Arccos Caddie feature takes information from your own performance and the performance of other golfers around the world to make a suggestion on club selection.
So if you have 150 yards to a pin, you might automatically reach for the 7-iron. But Arccos Caddie will know that from your previous rounds that you’ll be short so will advise a 6-iron.
And now in a USGA ruling Arccos Caddie has been cleared for use in tournament play where rangefinders are allowed.
The app must be toggled to “Tournament Mode,” which turns off the live display of elevation.
Why is this such good news? Because it shows golf is moving with the times and actually embracing mobile technology, accepting that smartphones have a part to play in helping us enjoy golf even more.
