Here's what I'm learning with Arccos Golf's new data tracking

Arccos Golf I’ve now played five rounds of golf with the new Arccos Air and Arccos Smart Laser in conjunction with the updated app features, and I’ve definitely learned some things about my game. I’m going to use this as a monthly update blog to keep not only myself in check on my performance and things I may need to change in my game or gear, but also so you can read along and learn yourself. Let’s get to it.

I have it set to compare myself to a scratch golfer, and at the moment I’m losing over 4 strokes. Off the tee I’m seeing semi-decent performance (more on this later), and on the greens I’m losing less than a stroke.

The bigger problems are on the approach and in my short game. If I’m being honest about the approach shots, they are mostly coming from bad tee performance, but there’s no real excuse for some of the short-game stats. Missing greens from less than 25 yards is unacceptable.

I’d love to blame my gear, but not in this case. I’m also missing too many greens from 100 to 150 yards, which to me might say a lot about shot selection since those are distances I go after with my wedges, not any irons. I have a tendency to try and get a little bit too cute with anything 150 yards and in, and I think this is a great way of realizing that I need to be more aggressive with my distance choices and club selection and less focused on “creating a shot,” which is usually what ends up getting me in trouble.
