G
ame Golf, the first wearable device that automatically tracks and graphically displays a golfer’s round and statistics, has announced a series of new features.
The new Game Golf platform features the recently released Shot Dispersion Analysis and Challenge features that will create an all-new user experience on its web platform and through the Game Golf mobile app on iOS and Android. The new features will be released in two stages over the next 14 days and they include:
M
• Smart Shot Detection:A new built-in algorithm which automatically detects all shots from tee to green, so even if the player forgets to tag a shot, Game Golf captures the location of the shot and notifies the user during game review.
•Round Privacy: With the new Round Privacy feature, a player can hide as many rounds as they like. All rounds signed as private can still be included in that user’s overall performance.
•Club Performance: Club Performance allows users to filter their club distances through a variety of scenarios. Users choose from their latest rounds, specific courses, and lie type, and Game Golf calculates and displays club distances.
•Game Benchmarks: The new Game Benchmarks allows Game Golf users to compare their statistics with other Game Golf users with similar score averages. This enables the player to see where their game may have room for improvement, make focused adjustments, and help shave shots off their rounds.
•Mobile Challenges:Game Golf Challenges allow users to join or create community or private challenges in longest drive, GIR, putts and other statistics with friends and family members on the platform. Now golfers can create and join challenges on the go through their iOS and Android mobile apps, allowing for more social banter and competition on the Game Platform.

times by remaining true to their values and offering stability. Mizuno’s business philosophy is:

Pre Book Through a consultation process, Mizuno’s ASM's work with retail partners to establish a level of commitment that works for both parties. While they want retailer partners to showcase products, they don't expect them to be their warehouse.
No SMU Hardware At Mizuno they don’t supply SMU product – all their products are core to the range and available to every account.
Minimal Clearance Top trustworthy brands minimise clearance, and through good forecasting they keep it to a minimum.
Quality Products Mizuno invest huge sums of time and energy in product development. As such all products are tour ready - what retailers stock is exactly the same product as their tour players use.
