Shot Scope’s “Shots Plotted” Feature Is Newest Game Management Innovation for Golfers


Shots Plotted Provides Golfers with a History of every Hole for Tee Shots & Approaches, to Visualize Performance Based on Club Used, End Location of the Shot, Hole Score and an Individual Strokes Gained Benchmark

(Edinburgh, UK) — Shot Scope, the industry-leader in advanced GPS and automatic shot tracking technology, today unveiled its innovative “Shots Plotted” feature, the newest game management tool for golfers using the Company’s V3 Watch and PRO LX+ Rangefinder models.  Unique in game tracking technology, Shots Plotted provides golfers with a history of every hole for tee shots and approaches, and the ability to visualize their performance based on the club used, end location of the shot, hole score and an individual strokes gained benchmark.

The new feature is available free of charge to Shot Scope users and is available on both the Company’s Web Dashboard and via Mobile apps. 

“Shots Plotted is truly a breakthrough feature for Shot Scope products as it provides an in-depth performance analysis for every hole played, providing detailed metrics that pinpoint what the golfer is doing right or wrong,” said Gavin Dear, Chief Commercial Officer at Shot Scope.”

Shots Plotted allows Shot Scope users to identify and learn new information about their game. For example: do tee shots up the left-hand side of the hole score better, or where are the costliest places to miss a Par 3 or green, among others. Users can filter these new statistics by: tees played from, clubs used and time/date range. Golfers can also access full-round statistics that highlight performance over time, as well as average score for a particular course and many other performance metrics. They can also break the analysis down into individual holes and easily identify the best strategy for the hole with color coded scoring dots. Tee shot dispersion, average approach shot distance and approach proximity are some of the new statistics Shot Scope users can learn about any individual hole they have played, anywhere in the world.

Shots Plotted is the newest feature added to the Shot Scope online user dashboard, which is designed to help golfers improve through an enhanced on-course performance data management system. The Shot Scope online user dashboard is an interactive space for golfers to manage their data – whether post round editing of a round or a mid-week analysis of overall game improvement. The new dashboard is a great tool for any golfer seeking more clarity on where to make changes in their game and it can be used in varying capacities. 

“Creating a dashboard that is user friendly and visually appealing, yet highly effective in enhancing the delivery of on course performance data, is something we always strive to achieve,” said Dear. “When used in conjunction with our mobile app, it provides users with a broader understanding of different areas of their game. We always look to provide a platform where users can interact with their data as simple and easy yet detailed as possible.”

The dashboard can be viewed on a larger screen, making some of the data easier to navigate and analyze in more detail. This includes post-round editing, with the enlarged screen creating a simple and easy way to view and enter data from your round. In addition, the filtering system allows golfers to process their data in an efficient manner that suits their needs. They can filter statistics by club, yardage, round, year and more – a thorough way to generate a wealth of information across multiple categories.

The new user dashboard comes on the heels of Shot Scope introducing the innovative PRO LX+ device. A first-of-its-kind rangefinder, the PRO LX+ system includes three devices which are sold as one unit, the PRO LX+, featuring GPS-powered distances and performance tracking, or individually as the PRO LX Rangefinder and H4 Game Tracker. Today, with research showing that modern golfers rely on multiple GPS devices, players of all levels now have one device – PRO LX+ - that provides all of the on-course technology they need in one system. 

“Shot Scope is thrilled to unveil this game-changing device to the golf industry, as we introduce GPS distance and performance tracking technology to laser rangefinder users for the first time ever,” said Dear. “Our V3 Smart Watch was a tremendous success when launched in 2020, and now we are bringing that same artificial intelligence to rangefinders and giving golfers a multi-product system that is offered at a price point for every budget.” 

Dear adds, “For rangefinder users, Shot Scope now offers real-time game tracking data like never before, which is currently used by tens of thousands of golfers worldwide recording over 180 million shots. In fact, our data shows that amateur golfers improve by four strokes thanks to the unique fusion of accurate distance information and automatic performance tracking technology from Shot Scope devices.”

The PRO LX+, which is available in blue, gray and orange colors, also features Shot Scope’s artificial intelligence for performance tracking via the H4 Game Tracker which magnetically attaches to the rangefinder. Backed by 16 RFID tracking tags that capture over 100 game statistics during a round of golf, the performance tracking capability works in the background and continuously scans the golfer’s swing settings. This creates an ever-increasing volume and accuracy of data collected from the golfer during play, leading to more insights and statistics that help the player understand their game better, improve on-course strategy and shoot lower scores.
