Shot-tracking platform Arccos has unveiled an update for its Apple Watch app that provides golfers with the ability to start an Arccos Caddie round without ever touching their iPhone.
Used by almost 20% of Arccos members, the Apple Watch also allows Arccos Caddie members to view AI Rangefinder distances, receive personalised club recommendations, add penalty strokes, see shot history and holes scores, and make any necessary edits.
“From a product standpoint, we have completely re-developed the Arccos Caddie app for Apple Watch architecture from the ground up,” said Dave LeDonne, Arccos’ Vice President of Product. “With well over half a million rounds played by Arccos members on Apple Watch last year alone, this redesign makes the experience dramatically better.”
Additional app functionality includes the ability for players to mark the hole locations on the green with a click of a button on the watch device when standing directly next to the pin. This provides more accurate short game and putting insights along with highlighting areas for player improvement via the powerful Strokes Gained analytics insights.
To access the new experience – which is optimized for Apple Watch Series 5 and newer – members only need to open the Arccos Caddie app for Apple Watch, confirm the course and tees being played and press ‘start round’. The app then syncs with the smart sensors in the grip of each club to pinpoint exactly when and where a shot has been played.
