Elite Scottish amateur golfer Jennifer Saxton, who is competing in this week’s Concession Cup, credits her recent success to the use of Shot Scope’s shot-tracking technology and data.
Notably, this is the first time that women will participate in the Concession Cup, a bi-annual Walker Cup-style competition organised by the Amateur Golf Alliance that brings together teams of mid-amateurs and senior amateurs representing USA and Europe.
“This is an exciting honor. Awareness around women’s golf is growing, and more opportunities are becoming available to us,” said Saxton, a member of the 24-strong European team who will be competing against their US counterparts at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Georgia from November 6-9. “We hope to be the first ones to get our names on that trophy and make history.”
Saxton, the marketing manager at Shot Scope, achieved scratch golfer status during university and now holds a +5 handicap. The use of shot-tracking data has enabled her to make targeted improvements to specific parts of her game.
“With data-driven changes and input from my coach, my Fairway Hit Percentage has increased from 51% in 2021 to 65% in 2024,” she noted.
Saxton has already accumulated numerous accolades, including a current World Amateur Golf ranking of 376, ninth-ranked female Mid-Amateur player in the world, a member of the Scottish national ladies’ team, and the 2022 St Rule Trophy champion.
As a devoted user of Shot Scope products for over six years, Saxton praises the shot-tracking technology, saying, “For a golfer new to data tracking, it might seem daunting, but Shot Scope makes it easy to learn key insights about your game.”
Founded in Scotland, Shot Scope provides golfers of all skill levels with a variety of subscription-free products ranging from GPS tracking watches to laser rangefinders, and now ships to over 160 countries worldwide.
