Notable golf technology in 2025 PGA Show Part 1

I’ve been a technical nut since I built my first computer from a kit in the early 1980s. That Zenith/Heathkit is still one of my favorite gadgets. It presents a sense of magic that has never been copied. I also have an inexplicable feeling about the Nostalga for the long-sold Panasonic KX-P 1080 nine-pin dot matrix printer.

The 2025 PGA exhibition exploded with new technologies from large companies. Build and new. Here are some people who caught my attention.

Shooting scope watches and rangefinders

Headquartered in Edinburgh, Shot Scope offers a variety of devices to help you find code counts and collect data from the game.

The V5 watch offers full hole maps and distances for over 36,000 courses. The watch will give the front, middle and rear distances on green and bring distances to each danger. It is worth noting that there is no subscription cost for course data.

Even better: The watch comes with 16 tracking “tags” that will automatically record every shot in the course to provide rear-wheel analysis on its app.

I think it’s very clever to see that the band of the watch contains sensors that automatically recognize tags. I remember the electronic lens tracking of the “past” when the label had to be clicked onto the device on the belt before each shot.

Shot Scope has multiple watch models with different functions.

The company also offers a lot of laser testing space, from the top Prozr to the more budget Pro L2. The Pro ZR has a “Durashield” hard shell for all weather usage, slope features, enhanced target locks, dual optics and free over-the-air GPS maps via the Shot Scope app. In some ways, this is the best of both worlds.

Garmin Golf Smartwatch

In the world of smartwatches, the Apple Watch is the first thing that comes to mind for most people. For myself, there are a lot of other golfers – though, this is Garmin.

Garmin has several new golf smartwatch products, including the S50, which costs $399, which is significantly lower than the S70 I own.

The S50 features an AMOLED display, 43,000 preloaded courses, and Garmin Golf membership, full color course browsing maps. In addition to golf, it also has a lot of health and wellness features.

The new G20 solar is a handheld GPS device that, in theory, has solar charging and has unlimited battery life. It comes pre-installed with 43,000 courses and extends to the front and back distances of green as well as dangers. It will also be paired with the CT10 club tracking sensor.

Garmin also showed off its CT10 sensor, which automatically tracks your lens when paired with a compatible Garmin watch or device.

Finally, they provide golfers with S44 watches, who want basic golf information without all the fitness add-ons. It provides distance to the green front, middle and rear, as well as the danger. With Garmin membership, you will also get a course viewing screen.

FlightScope Portable Boot Monitor

FlightScope shows the circuitry of its portable transmit monitor and range finder, such as the MEVO+ shown in the picture above.

Like other similar products, MEVO+ collects a lot of data to perfect your swing and also offers simulated golf courses including St Andrews and Pebble Beach.

The flight range also has a rangefinder, which uses start-up monitor data to make personalized club selection suggestions for environmental conditions based on distance, weather.

It’s like having a caddie in your pocket.

Vertacat

Verta Cat makes golf carts for different abilities. It’s worth making golf easier to get. Figuring out how to break down barriers, whether physically, financially or socially – more than “development games” than paradiaire Pros Pros to, just like Peacocks talking about how they develop games.

It happened that I also met Dennis Walters at the PGA Fair and had a brief chat about me enjoying his performance at the Washtenaw Golf Club’s annual charity classic.

Walters was paralyzed in an accident in his twenties, and he spent the last fifty years traveling around the world and performing his skill shooting performance, ultimately more about inspiration . Walters, now in the World Golf Hall of Fame, challenges everyone on his show to work hard and overcome hard work.

I don’t want to suggest that Walters endorses Vertacat in any way, but the coincidence of seeing the two within a day made me think.
