Foresight Sports and Bushnell team up to develop cutting edge golf technology
In the ever-evolving world of golf technology, Foresight Sports and Bushnell Golf have joined forces to introduce a groundbreaking course management platform that promises to elevate the game for golfers of all levels. This innovative collaboration merges Foresight’s leading launch monitor technology with Bushnell’s renowned laser rangefinders, delivering personalized, real-time club recommendations based on individual performance data.
A Seamless Integration of Data and TechnologyAt the heart of this new platform is the Foresight Sports GC3S, which captures detailed shot data through its advanced launch monitor. This data is then seamlessly integrated with Bushnell’s Pro X3 LINK laser rangefinder via the new LINK-Enabled Technology bundle. The result? Golfers receive tailored "Play As" distances and specific club suggestions for every shot, transforming raw data into actionable insights on the course.
Real-World Testing with Pete WlodkowskiPete Wlodkowski from AmateurGolf.com had the opportunity to test out this innovative system during tournament practice rounds, especially on courses he was unfamiliar with.
“Learning a new course can be challenging,” Pete shared. “Having real-time club recommendations based on my own performance data took a lot of the guesswork out of each shot. It was incredibly useful in building my confidence and making informed decisions, which is crucial - especially when learning to navigate a new course.”
Personalized Insights for Every GolferWhat sets this platform apart is its ability to offer personalized insights. After an initial assessment using the launch monitor and the Foresight app, the system analyzes at least three shots with each club to understand the golfer’s unique performance and tendencies. This personalized data is then synced with the Bushnell rangefinder, allowing golfers to receive customized club recommendations based on their specific yardages and playing conditions. Dispersion patterns provide a visual view of carry distance and tendencies for each club. So if there is water on the left and you tend to miss your driver left, it may be a good idea to hit a three-wood or hybrid off the tee.
Additional FeaturesApp-displayed dispersion data * Personalized Play As Distances: Tailored yardages that consider the golfer’s unique swing characteristics, moving beyond generic models to provide more accurate recommendations.
* Today’s Distances: Adjusted yardages that account for real-time environmental factors like wind and elevation, ensuring golfers have the most relevant information for each shot.
* Club Dispersion Patterns: Visual maps within the Bushnell app that display a golfer’s accuracy patterns, aiding in strategic club selection and course management.
Accessible Advanced Technology
One of the standout aspects of the GC3S and LINK-Enabled bundle is its accessibility. Priced at $3,799 with a $499 annual software subscription, it offers tour-validated technology at a more approachable price point. This makes advanced course management tools available to a broader audience, including international markets for the first time.
Looking Ahead
Chris Watters, Head of Commercial at Foresight Sports and Bushnell Golf, emphasized the significance of this integration:
“Our goal has always been to empower golfers with the data they need to improve their game. By combining our launch monitor with Bushnell’s laser rangefinder, we’re providing actionable insights that make course management intuitive and effective, regardless of a golfer’s skill level.”
For golfers eager to enhance their on-course decision-making and performance, the Foresight Sports GC3S paired with Bushnell Golf’s LINK-Enabled Technology offers a compelling solution. As technology continues to shape the future of golf, collaborations like this are setting new standards for how data and innovation can drive the game forward.
