It may have something to do with being based in Scotland and the Scots tradition of getting value for their money, but Shot Scope has again shown it’s possible to market a quality product without forcing buyers to second mortgage their houses.
The latest is the H50 GPS with the ability to switch from photo images of more than 60,000 holes taken from real-time satellite imagery to front, back and middle green distances with large easily read numbers. The detailed hole maps are a help for managing layups and doglegs and use the familiar touch/drag motion like smartphones for ball and pin location.
The hole digital information includes data from Shot Scopes teams that visit and update over 8,000 courses each year. We also continue to be impressed that the H50 connects with the Shot Scope app for some other handy features but also that they do not charge an annual subscription fee for course or software updates.
At this year’s PGA Show Shot Scope CEO David Hunter told me that in addition to the LM1 Launch Monitor they had another product coming he was excited about and this handheld GPS certainly fills that prediction.
Hunter said, “The launch of the H50 represents an important milestone in our mission to transform the way golfers visualize each hole. By bringing detailed mapping and green contour insights to a large, responsive touchscreen, the H50 helps golfers plan every shot from tee to green with confidence. It’s an exciting development for anyone looking to improve their course management without complexity.”
