Most golfers know their score. Fewer know their carry distance, dispersion pattern, launch angle, or club speed. If you’re only tracking scores, you’re missing valuable information that can help you improve faster. At The Local Drive, every shot hit on our TrackMan simulators can be synced directly to the TrackMan app, giving you access to detailed performance data right from your phone.
More Than Just Distance
Many golfers are surprised to learn their actual yardages. Maybe your 7-iron carries 145 yards instead of the 160 you’ve always assumed. Maybe your driver goes farther than you think, but misses more fairways than you’d like. TrackMan removes the guesswork by tracking metrics like:
- Carry Distance
- Total Distance
- Club Speed
- Ball Speed
- Launch Angle
- Spin Rate
- Shot Dispersion
The result is a clearer picture of your game and smarter decisions on the course.
Dial In Every Club in Your Bag
One of the most powerful features of the TrackMan app is the ability to load your full golf bag and build true distance gaps for every club. Instead of guessing how far each club should go, TrackMan tracks how far they actually go based on your real swings. Over time, you get a personalized distance map of your game:
- No more “in-between club” guessing
- Clear yardage gaps from wedge through driver
- More confident club selection on the course
- Better understanding of carry vs. total distance
It’s the difference between hoping a club works and knowing exactly when to use it.
Build a Reliable Handicap
The TrackMan app also allows golfers to establish and monitor a TrackMan Handicap. By playing virtual rounds on TrackMan courses, your scores are automatically recorded, giving you a benchmark that reflects your current level of play. It’s a great way to measure progress throughout the year, especially during Colorado’s winter months when traditional rounds may be limited.
Track Your Improvement Over Time
One great practice session tells you very little. Ten practice sessions tell a story. The TrackMan app stores your shot history, allowing you to compare data over weeks and months. You can see trends in distance, accuracy, and consistency that would be nearly impossible to track manually. Small improvements become visible, which helps keep practice focused and productive.
Practice With Purpose
Instead of hitting ball after ball without direction, TrackMan data helps identify exactly where improvement is needed. Maybe your driver spin rate is costing you distance. Maybe your wedges are inconsistent inside 100 yards. Maybe your dispersion pattern reveals a tendency to miss in one direction. When you know the numbers, you know what to work on.
