England Golf is revolutionising the way golfers approach their game with the introduction of the groundbreaking ‘My Stats’ feature on the MyEG app.
This exciting addition aims to elevate players’ experiences on the course by providing in-depth insights and analysis like never before.
England Golf’s Chief Operating Officer, Richard Flint, said, “We’ve had over 400,000 people downloading the MyEG app and 2023 saw a huge increase in its usage, with more than 21 per cent of scores being registered through the app, including a 20 per cent increase in usage by girls/women.”
But what exactly does ‘My Stats’ offer? Gone are the days of simply entering scores for handicap purposes.
Now, golfers can delve deep into their performance with a plethora of statistics at their fingertips.
Every aspect of your game is meticulously tracked and analysed, from fairways hit to greens in regulation and putts per round.
What sets ‘My Stats’ apart is its user-friendly interface, designed to cater to both golf club members and iGolfers alike.
Not only can you input which club you used for specific shots, but you can also track the direction of the ball, whether it went long or short on approach to the green, and even record the number of putts, shots in greenside bunkers, and penalty shots taken.
Flint emphasises, “After conducting a survey and receiving over 12,000 responses from users of the MyEG app, we have listened to our members and therefore introduced ‘My Stats’ to help golfers enjoy and improve their experiences.”
But the benefits don’t stop there. With access to stats from all your previous rounds, you can pinpoint areas for improvement and track your progress over time. It’s like having a personal coach in your pocket, guiding you towards peak performance with every swing.
And it doesn’t end with just tracking stats. The MyEG app also provides a platform for golf clubs to share their local rules, ensuring players are always informed and ready to tackle any challenge the course throws their way.
Flint further added, “While it will not be compulsory to fill in stats for handicapping purposes on the app, we actively encourage golfers to engage and record, so that they can track their progress and monitor their handicap all in one place.”
So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, ‘My Stats’ is your ticket to unlocking your full potential on the golf course.
