Let’s be honest. Most of us could use a little help planning our rounds. I’m not asking for a miracle cure or even revolutionary technology. Just give us a practical tool to give us a little advantage on the golf course.
I suppose that’s what FlightScope’s Planning Tool, the latest addition to their growing suite of golf performance technologies, does.
What are we talking about?
Think of the FlightScope planning like a weather app but for your golf game. The Planning Tool takes your shot data from your Mevo or other FlightScope rangefinder and combines it with local weather forecasts to give you a more informed picture of what to expect on the course.
How the FlightScope Planning Tool works
The process is straightforward.
- Choose your golf course
- Select a date and tee time (up to three days in advance)
- Input your personal shot data
- Get a report with projected carry distances
The tool uses meteorological predictions to help you anticipate potential playing conditions. It provides three scenarios: no wind, headwind or tailwind based on forecasted weather rather than actual on-course conditions. Think of it as a golf-specific weather forecast that takes your personal shot data into account.
What you get
- Carry distance projections
- Environmental condition insights
- A more data-informed approach to course preparation
The tool uses your existing shot data either through FlightScope’s Smart Gapping feature or by uploading data from your launch monitor. No complicated setup, no steep learning curve.
The practical perspective
At $99 with no recurring subscription, it’s a one-time investment that might help you make slightly more informed decisions. Will it drop your handicap by five strokes? Probably not. But it might help you choose the right club a bit more confidently.
More to think about
Golf technology is evolving. Companies like FlightScope are moving beyond single-purpose devices, creating interconnected tools that work together to provide insights. It’s not about replacing human skill; it’s about giving golfers more information to work with.
The bottom line
The Planning Tool is a practical addition to a golfer’s toolkit. It’s not going to magically fix your swing or guarantee lower scores. But for the data-curious golfer who wants to prepare a bit more strategically, it offers a new perspective.
Worth a look? Maybe.
