A Billion Shots Strong: Arccos’ Legacy in Data-Driven Golf.
At Arccos Golf, we recently reached a major milestone: our 1 billionth tracked golf shot. (There’s a reason we’re Golf’s #1 Game Tracker 😉 ) This achievement further establishes our world’s largest on-course dataset position but more than that it represents a significant leap forward in our data capabilities, ushering in a new era for golf analytics and player improvement.
The Power of Big Data in Golf
“When we talk about reaching a billion shots, it’s not just about the sheer number—it’s about the power and precision that comes with it,” says Michael Hutchinson, Senior Director of Data Science at Arccos. “This vast database isn’t just large; it’s incredibly detailed, allowing us to be more selective and exact in our analyses. We can afford to be meticulous in choosing which data points to include in our models, ensuring that every insight we derive is grounded in robust, high-quality data.”
Precision and Granularity
“With a billion shots, we can perform analyses that were previously unimaginable. For instance, we can now study something as specific as a 200-yard approach shot into a Par 3 with a 10 mph crosswind and a 400-square-meter green—and still have enough data to draw statistically valid conclusions. This level of granularity isn’t just about being thorough; it’s about empowering golfers with the most precise, actionable insights available.”
“This milestone marks the dawn of a new era in golf analytics. Our ability to deliver incredibly detailed, personalised feedback means our users will be able to fine-tune their strategies with unparalleled accuracy. As we move forward, this precision will drive the next wave of strokes-gained analytics and product innovations, bringing even greater value to our community.”
