As an avid user of Arccos Caddie shot tracking, I’ve really reaped the benefits of the insights it provides. For the last couple of years I’ve paired my sensors with the Link device, which clips on to the outside of the lead pocket so I don’t need to have my phone on my person. While this has been convenient enough, it does look a bit naff and often leads me to have to frequently explain to new playing partners what the gizmo I’ve got attached to my slacks is.
The battery life on the Arccos Caddie Link also had a lot of room for improvement - I could only get two rounds max out of it and it sometimes ran out of juice towards the end of a round if I forgot to charge it beforehand, leading to missed shots and a frustrated golfer. Using the Apple Watch did solve this problem, but I’m not a big fan of playing wearing any sort of watch, even a golf GPS watch.
