Shot Scope Becomes Official On-Course Data Partner of MyGolfSpy

Shot Scope is joining forces with MyGolfSpy, becoming our official on-course data partner.

Founded in Scotland—the home of golf—by a team of avid golfers, a former Walker Cup player, and a group of technology experts, Shot Scope’s simple aim has been to improve the way in which amateur golfers collect and analyze statistics from their game.

Known for its wide range of golf GPS, rangefinder, and performance tracking devices, Shot Scope has helped more than 180,000 golfers lower their scores. Its technology has tracked more than 350 million shots in more than 160 countries.

Utilizing one of the most robust data sets in golf, Shot Scope has proven to be an innovator in the stat-tracking and performance-management spaces. All their products have a simple goal: give golfers of all abilities the best tools to play the game better. On average, Shot Scope users see their scores improve by 4.1 strokes over the course of their first 30 rounds using a device.

Data is at the core of the Shot Scope business, and the company is dedicated to helping the golfer improve, from creating informative and data-driven articles to its subscription-free platform of over 100+ statistics. Knowing how annoying monthly subscription fees are, Shot Scope has guaranteed its software, maps, and updates will be 100% FREE for life.

“Shot Scope is an ideal data partner for MyGolfSpy,” says Editorial Director, Tony Covey. “Beyond it’s ever-expanding catalog of products and innovations, we’re especially excited to share data and case studies that will provide our readers with key insights to help them play better golf.”

The typical Shot Scope user reduces his handicap by 4.1 strokes in the first 30 rounds.

Shot Scope’s data platform is one of the most advanced in the industry providing the golfer with a breakdown of every shot hit on the course, including statistics on Tee Shots, Approaches, Short Game, Putting, and Scoring. In addition, discover what you need to work on and track your progress with Strokes Gained and Handicap Benchmarking.

The company also recently unveiled its new “MyStrategy” feature – the perfect pre-round preparation tool.

MyStrategy overlays the last 30 shots hit with each club to help players identify how best to play each hole. It is based on existing, current data, allowing for an accurate representation of their game.

Players can plan ahead and create their own unique strategy for any course around the world, allowing them to play their best, even if it’s their first time on the course. If you want to maximize your home course advantage or give yourself the greatest opportunity to play well at different courses, MyStrategy has the answers.

Shot Scope's My Strategy feature helps you choose smarter targets based on your on-course tendencies.

MyGolfSpy chose to partner with Shot Scope because it is constantly innovating and bringing new software features and firmware updates to its users.

Shot Scope’s premium X5 GPS watch has received a new update for the upcoming 2024 golf season. Free to all existing X5 watch users and new customers, the personalized hole maps give the golfer an aerial view of the hole, showing doglegs, bunkers, and water hazards. Additionally, Shot Scope is leveraging its automatic shot-tracking statistics to help you make better on-course decisions.

“It is our belief that the most powerful asset for a golfer is total knowledge about their game.” said Shot Scope CEO David Hunter. “Previously, detailed round data and strokes gained information was reserved exclusively for professionals. However, with our advanced shot tracking capabilities, we are able to deliver that experience to club golfers every time they play.”

“Shot Scope are delighted to partner with MyGolfSpy as their official data partner and excited to bring
MyGolfSpy readers game-changing insights and content from our database of golf shots.”

Our collaboration will generate forward-thinking MyGolfSpy content powered by Shot Scope including case studies, “golf smarter” articles and stat-driven social posts. We want to share takeaways from their data to educate golfers on everything from course strategy to equipment purchases.

  • A look at how Shot Scope’s MyStrategy technology can be applied to major championship venues

      What if you don’t like wearing a watch? Am I supposed to plug in each club I hit for each shot?
      I have found these auto tracking devices to be a little too much. Plugs in the back of the grips just felt weird at touch, never bothered with em. (Arcos)
      This seems like it could be a little bit of work, no?

      Are there any promotions available to MGS members to try Shot Scope? I am thinking about making the switch from Arccos.

      I had gotten an email from Shotscope offering me the V5 for $180. Arccos had been a non starter for me since they require a subscription fee. Just what I need. I just got the V5 and will be putting it into play tomorrow.

      I started with Shot Scope and the V3 a few years back and upgraded to the X5 last year. I tried Arccos in parallel. I wasn’t as enamored with the UI, carrying a belt clip or phone and a couple of other aspects (e.g.putting data) and the subscription absolutely turned me off so I stuck with SS. There are a few aspect sof the X5 that I feel could be improved, the biggest being battery life, the others being certain watch control/use interface aspects, but customer service has been EXCEPTIONAL, and overall I’d recommend it for those who are into using data to improve, or if you just like data. I cannot praise customer service highly enough, from quick turn around on course information updates to tech support, they are On It. I look forward to the articles.

      I had just come across a multitude of positive reviews for Shot Scope Range Finders. After spending a couple of hours doing my due diligence, I placed an order online and am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of my PRO ZR Range Finder. It will be replacing both of my Bushnell Range Finders.

      I tried the club connex adapters–is this the same system? Navigating the app was awful.

      It is beyond my understanding why anyone would need to spend more than the $150.00 I spent on my Shot Scope Pro L2–great optics, 700 yard range, validated accurate to 1 yard, 6x zoom, adaptive slope technology, target lock vibration and cart attachment Magnet.
      Why pay $ 100’s more ?
      It is also totally beyond my understanding why any manufacturer would market a range finder without a cart attachment Magnet.

      NICE!! I’d started with a V1, later upgraded to a V3 and then to an X5. Of course my game still sucks ;-) but at least I’m getting lots of good info about it…

      Looking forward to learning more from MGS!

      Looking forward to more information on this collaboration. It’ll be great for both MGS AND Shotscope. I’ve been a very satisfied user of Shotscope since 2021 and can attest to improvement.

      V5 is mentioned above is this a new product or did you mean the X5.

      A lot of times I’m not super thrilled about outlets having sponsored partnerships, but this seems like a really beneficial situation for both sides. MGS getting deep looks into the macro data should certainly influence future testing scenarios for you guys. Can’t wait to see where this one goes!

      Nice partnership MGS! I wouldn’t mind seeing a “breaking series” with someone who hasn’t used Shot Scope products and see if Shot Scope can help them break whatever elusive score they’re after.

      I think the most overlooked aspect is their MyStrategy tool inside of the app. It adds a DECADE type strategy opportunity into the app based purely on your club tendencies. Not having to do this through the bad DECADE app or trying to do it through Google Maps is AMAZING!
