Greatly enjoying my tags and have watched my game improve because of your platform. It would be really nice to see more information on putting as it really is the most important part of the game. Since you have to mark pin locations it would be nice to see putt:

  • Distances for each hole
  • Average 1, 2, 3 putt distance
  • Best/worst putting on a whole at each course


Thanks in advance for your consideration and keep up the great work!

Hi Alyona, I wanted to offer some additional putting data collection and stats suggestions. I do not use the Tags but instead track my shots by directly logging in the app. On my course, I walk each round and leave my phone in my push cart. I prefer not to take my phone onto the green and track putting locations. Using my phone on the green feels distracting to mark locations of putts and the pin. Instead, I just add the number of putts in the app after completing the hole. It would nice to record some additional data on putting, even without tracking the specific locations of the putt or the pin. 


For example, rather than just gathering data on first putt distances via location tracking, users could input this data manually by typing/entering distance from the pin for each putt or by selecting from prepopulated distance range. Users could also indicate in the app whether their putts miss high/low/long/short/right/left. This would allow for extending and improving putting stats, especially for users that do not track putting locations. I would like to suggest a feature where users can pull up a new screen (like the club selection screen) where they can track and input this information. 


I have included a brief mock up of what this new screen could look like. During a round, users can choose to track putts and then input details manually. Here users could input information on their putt distance to the pin. In the mock up, users can select one option which would allow them to input a specific numerical value for the distance or they can select from pre-populated ranges. The ranges in the mock up are the same as the data breakdown categories in the app, for example. Though for more helpful analysis, it might be helpful if the ranges were narrower? For further data, especially as optional input, users could select whether their putt misses low, high, short, long, left, right, push, pull, etc.


At least I speak for myself, but I would gladly press a few more buttons to provide detail on my putting during round. For me, I will do this when walking to the next tee, rather than talking my phone onto the green and tracking putt locations via that method. 


Hopefully, I have been able to communicate my suggestions clearly. Appreciate the consideration!

Hi Matt! We do plan to extend and improve stats, but it may take a while as we are working on several other high demand features. Thank you for sharing your great ideas!
