Arccos unveils new Caddie Link

Just a few days after releasing its next generation Smart Sensors, Arccos Golf has launched a new and improved version of the Caddie Link it first introduced two years ago.

Designed to be worn on a belt, waistband or pocket, the new Arccos Link (Gen2) offers enhanced performance thanks to the capacity to automatically record shots without having to carry a phone on the course. As well as its sleeker look and improved clip functionality, the new device incorporates advanced microphone enhancements with GORE protective vents to deliver reliable, high quality, shot-tracking performance.

“When we launched Link back in 2020 it gave golfers the freedom to play golf without their phone and still get their powerful data. It was a game-changer and helped us to achieve explosive growth worldwide,” said Sal Syed, Arccos CEO and co-founder. “Now, with technical improvements, the new Link is even better. More golfers will play the game their way, with or without their phone and be able to harness personal on-course data, and understand strengths and weakness, leading to faster improvement and more fun.”The weather-resistant device weighs less than 25g and is smaller in length than a bank card – measuring approximately 21/4 inches long, 11/4 inches wide and a 3/4-inch deep. It boasts a battery life of up to 10 hours, with quick charging via a micro-USB cable.

Once paired with the Arccos Caddie app, Smart Sensors seamlessly sync with the Link to provide golfers with the ability to track shots in real time. Link then automatically transfers scoring data to the phone app via Bluetooth, either during or after the round, depending on player preference.

Arccos members using Link can either keep their phone in a golf bag, cart, trolley or back pocket for quick access to the game’s first A.I. powered rangefinder and Caddie advice.

Additional functionality of Link includes the option for a player to mark the exact hole location on the green with a simple push of main button when standing next to the pin. This provides more accurate putting insights and pinpoints areas for player improvement via the exclusive Strokes Gained Analytics software.

Arccos has also expanded the Link’s remote programmable features, so it will always provide the most current shot tracking models – something previously unavailable with the original device. In addition, Link will deliver enhanced shot tracking thanks to new Arccos automatic shot tracking technology introduced last month.

Like the New Smart Sensors (Gen 3+), the latest device is now packaged in a more sustainable box, as the brand continues its drive toward offering more environmentally friendly products.

Compatible with iPhone and Android devices, the new Link has an RRP of £134.99.

South East golfers go the distance with Arccos – Golf News

detlef32 — Sat, 10 Sep 2022 18:23:38 +0000

Golfers using the the Arccos shot tracking system were most likely to be found playing golf courses around London and the South East so far this year, according to data revealed by the company.

The Addington Golf Club in Croydon is the venue with the most rounds tracked by Arccos in England so far this year

Courses located in the southern part of the country dominated the ‘Most Played’ rankings for golfers playing in Britain, with Arccos Smart Sensors between January and June this year, with five of the top 10 courses located in Surrey alone.

Leading the way was the scenic heathland course at The Addington Golf Club in Croydon – just ten miles from central London – where a total of 318 rounds were played using Arccos Smart Sensors to detect each shot – equating to over 50 rounds each month or 12 rounds per week.

Dating back to 1913 and designed by J.F Abercromby, who also created Worplesdon, the par 69, 6300-yard course is in the middle of a full restoration project under the guidance of world-renowned architects Mike Clayton, Mike DeVries and Frank Pont (CDP). The 230-yard par 3 13th and 515-yard par 5 16th are the best of many memorable, challenging, and spectacular holes with expansive views of the capital city from its hilltop tees.

“It’s great that so many of our members and visitors are using Arccos Caddie data to understand and improve their game and I’m looking to utilise the system more within my own coaching sessions,” said Phil Womack, Head Professional at The Addington Club.

Foxhills Club & Resort in Chertsey accounted for places 2 and 5 in the top-10 Arccos usage ratings, with both championship parkland courses – the Bernard Hunt (293) and Longcross (275) – proving popular with tech-orientated golfers.

Knole Park Golf Club the Kent (279) squeezed into third spot, with two other Surrey courses at Hampton Court Palace Golf Club (277) and the Hoebridge Golf Centre in Old Woking (261) completing the top six.

Also making a strong start to the year with market-leading Arccos Caddie members were three more locations in Kent – Pedham Place Golf Centre (247), Newbury & Crookham Golf Club (244) and the Cave Hotel & Golf Resort in Faversham (244) – plus the Skylark Golf & Country Club (232) in Hampshire.

Notable courses to feature in the top 50 included Cotswold Hills, The Oxfordshire, Bearwood Lakes, Gog Magog, Celtic Manor, Royal North Devon, The Grove, Formby Hall, The Goodwood Club, Royal Blackheath, Burhill, Sunningdale, Silvermere and Royal Mid-Surrey.

“This course location data over the first six months of the year demonstrates just how committed our British Arccos Caddie members are in pursuit of game improvement, particularly those in London and the southeast region,” said Andrew Turner, Vice President of Sales at Arccos Golf. “We’re now able to extract data from our dataset more easily and have plans to introduce a host of game enhancing insights that will help all golfers take their game from guessing to knowing.”

Recent Arccos innovations include Gen3+ Smart Sensors and the Link Gen 2 wearable device, plus Enhanced Putting Stats that provides amateur players with putting data previously the preserve of elite Tour players.

Arccos Caddie automatically tracks your shots while delivering in-round insights and personalised Strokes Gained analytics for every game aspect. The system is highlighted by an A.I.-powered rangefinder, smart club distances and caddie advice for every golf hole. These innovations helped new Arccos Caddie members who played at least 10 rounds lower their handicap index by an average of 5.78 strokes in 2021.

Arccos members have now recorded more than 550 million shots during 11.5 million rounds in 162 countries. This feeds the world’s largest on-course dataset, now including over 350 billion individual data points, which powers Arccos’ industry-leading Strokes Gained engine that allows a player to select their personal handicap goal, then provides personalised analysis for every game aspect and each club in the bag.
