Apple Watch golfing functionality highlighted by Apple, ten years on

A new Apple press release highlights Apple Watch golfing apps, as Golfshot launches a new tool to analyse your golf swing on the range.

The latest feature has been made possible by the high-frequency motion API Apple added in watchOS 10 …

Golfshot said that taking advantage of Apple Watch capabilities has been a priority since for a decade.

But a new API in watchOS 10 has enabled a new level of analysis.

Apple also gave a shout-out to five other golfing apps available on the Watch:

  • Track shots, get precise yardages adjusted in real time and club recommendations, and even mark the pin directly from Apple Watch with Arccos, the official game tracker of the PGA TOUR.
  • See hole layouts, carry distances, approach views with color heat maps of the green, and slope arrows for reading putts, all from the wrist, with GolfLogix.
  • Track scores, stats, and shot distances, and access a free golf GPS on iPhone and Apple Watch with TheGrint.
  • Get essentials with a glance at Apple Watch, including distances, maps, scoring, and a shot tracker, with Hole19.
  • Plan shots, get distances, and track scores and stats all directly from Apple Watch with 18Birdies Golf GPS Tracker.

Apple thinks its most expensive Apple Watch is perfect for golfers – especially very slow ones (our emphasis).
