⛳ The Best from the PGA Show

FlightScope i4 Rangefinder

Hot off the press—FlightScope dropped their newest rangefinder on Demo Day, January 21, and it’s a total game-changer. What sets it apart? The i4 offers personalized club recommendations tailored to your launch data and a real-time FS Environmental Optimizer Engine that pulls live data like wind speed and direction to help you adapt your game on the spot. It’s the kind of tech we didn’t know we needed until now.

PuttView X

Gimmick or game-changer? That’s what we asked ourselves before trying out the PuttView X. It uses augmented reality to show you the exact line and ball path, guiding your backstroke with horizontal markers so you can perfect your speed and aim. Spoiler alert: it works. Your putting practice will never be the same.

Golfzon TwoVision NX

This simulator launched in late 2024, but we finally got to try it out, and wow—it lives up to the hype. Featuring a 64-directional Motion Plate with surfaces that mimic every outdoor lie imaginable (fairway, rough, and even bunkers), it creates the most realistic indoor golf experience we’ve ever seen. Plus, the Weight Shift Analysis Sensor offers instant video replay after every shot. A true game-changer.

Carl’s Curved Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit

Carl’s latest creation is all about immersion. The curved design provides a wider visual range, making it feel like you’re really on the course. Combined with Carl’s ability to customize screens for your space, this setup brings your favorite courses to life in a way we hadn’t experienced before.

Bal.on 

If you love data, this one’s for you. Bal.on’s smart shoe inserts track your weight shifts during your swing, giving you real-time coaching through AI-powered heatmaps. Say goodbye to bulky pressure mats—this sleek tech is paving the way for the future of swing analysis.

🏌️ TGL Recap

Best Shot
Justin Thomas nailed a clutch 24-foot putt on Hole 4—earning the “#2 Moment of the Match.” Watch it here. 

Funniest Moment
Billy Horschel was made for TGL. He strutted into the arena rocking a giant “Dirty Birds” necklace and broke into a dance. See the full moment here. 

Coolest Course Design 
Finally, some fresh course designs! The standout this week is Temple, featuring a fairway that narrows dramatically at 285 yards with penalty areas on both sides. Check it out here.

Best “Hot Mic” Moment 
Not technically a hot mic, but definitely a moment that had the internet buzzing. During halftime, Billy Horschel joked that a TGL producer asked them to “keep the match close,” referencing the blowouts in previous weeks. He added, “Jeff, the producer, has asked us nicely to keep it close, and we’re trying to accommodate him.” Watch the moment here. 

A Recap Review
“A few thoughts: Players - give us some idea of what you are thinking, doing and how you make the shots. Put in a few 3 minute lessons scattered in by these pros please. Most of us want to know how to make those putts and sand shots.”
