Foresight Sports Launches Game-Changing Course Management Platform Through Link-Enabled Technology, Combining Best-In-Class Launch Monitor and Laser Rangefinder

SAN DIEGO, CA Foresight Sports,the industry leader in premium optical launch monitor and golf simulation technology, today announced the Foresight Sports GC3S and LINK-Enabled Technology bundle, an innovative product platform pairing launch monitor data with a laser rangefinder. Designed in collaboration with Bushnell Golf, the No.1 laser rangefinder in golf, LINK-Enabled Technology is a first-of-its-kind course management platform providing personalized “Play As” distances and specific club recommendations based on an individual golfer’s shot data collected through the launch monitor.

To integrate Foresight launch monitor data with the Bushnell app and laser rangefinder, an initial MyBag assessment is performed using a launch monitor and the Foresight app. The assessment consists of a range or simulator session where at least three shots are hit with each club in the bag to characterize the user’s performance & tendencies with their clubs. The Bushnell app pulls users’ completed MyBag data from the Foresight App and syncs that information with the Bushnell Laser Rangefinder when paired. On course, the laser rangefinder provides two club recommendations based on the yardage that has been ranged.

In addition to club recommendations via the laser rangefinder, patent-pending LINK-Enabled technology delivers enhanced course management advice:

  • Personalized Play As Distances: For the first time, the Play As Distances displayed in the Bushnell Golf laser rangefinder are based on individualized slope algorithms derived from the shot data collected during MyBag sessions. Previously, Play As yardages were calculated based on a generic trajectory model that was not tailored to each specific player.
  • Today’s Distances1: Player’s “stock” yardages are adjusted based on the specific environmental conditions at the time and location they are playing. This feature is particularly useful for players who travel, play at different times of day, and don’t have the opportunity to gauge their distances before teeing off.
  • Club Dispersion Patterns1: Users can view personalized club accuracy patterns overlaid on maps of golf holes within the Bushnell Golf app, providing clear visual indicators to guide club selection and course management decisions. This feature is available anytime, anywhere, so that golfers visiting new courses or wanting to visualize their shots pre-round can do so.
  • Club Recommendations: The laser rangefinder provides golfers with customized club recommendations for each shot.

The GC3S and LINK-Enabled bundle simplifies the presentation of launch monitor data, providing users with meaningful course management insight that does not require expert-level knowledge. Additionally, as the first Foresight Sports launch monitor to include a software subscription model, the GC3S offers a tour-validated launch monitor at a more accessible price point, making advanced golf technology available to a broader audience. That broader audience includes non-US markets, which are receiving access to a Foresight Sports-powered launch monitor with a subscription option for the first time.

“With this integration, the information provided is based on the golfer’s data,” said Watters. Our push for innovation has always focused on helping golfers acquire the data they need to play better, no matter what level they are, and now Bushnell Golf is enabling us to transform that information into insight and on-course action through the LINK-Enabled platform.”

The Foresight Sports GC3S including the Bushnell Golf Pro X3 LINK laser rangefinder is available now for $3,799 MSRP. GC3S comes equipped with a software subscription, which includes ball & club data plus FSX Play simulator software and FSX Pro performance analysis software.
