WindTag for Driving Ranges:
6 reasons to upgrade your facility

Calculate ROI

WindTag, the industry-first innovation from Tagmarshal, is changing how golfers and operators interact with the wind.

We’ve outlined how WindTag for Courses enhances and impacts on-course operations, so let’s take a closer look at what WindTag for Driving Ranges can do for your facility.

With each bay now able to show players what the wind is doing in real-time via mounted screens, WindTag answers two questions that face a golfer standing over every shot – what is the distance to the target and what is the wind doing?

In solving these questions by providing unrivaled wind intelligence, both the golfer and the operator benefit.

Benefits to golfers

1. Live wind speed and direction

When a golfer looks at weather conditions while on the course or driving range, they’re likely being given information from weather instruments miles away, at the nearest airport or weather station, that could be hours old. 

Conditions, and especially wind, are constantly changing. WindTag allows you to look at a screen displaying real-time conditions for each target to gauge what the wind is doing when practicing on the range, enabling golfers to dial in and understand exactly how each shot is impacted.

2. Precise distances to every target

Hitting towards a 150-yard marker to sharpen short iron play is useful, but working on specific distances by hitting to different targets is far more beneficial to golfers.

With a WindTag device on each target, the exact distance to each is visible on bay screens, allowing golfers to work through a range of shots and figure out which club works best for them.

3. AI-powered live shot recommendations

Drawing on billions of data points from Tagmarshal’s tracked golf rounds, WindTag offers players AI-powered live shot recommendations in real-time. Visible on the screens in a simple-to-follow display, these account for distance, club, trajectory and target

Is the wind helping or hurting, and should the golfer consider reducing the shot trajectory to minimize wind impact? Now they’ll know exactly what to do and can take this deeper understanding with them next time they step onto the course.

Benefits to operators

1. Revenue wins

Providing an enhanced practice experience by incorporating WindTag will not only keep golfers returning to your facility – it will also bring in new golfers who want to improve their game using technology and wind intelligence not available elsewhere.

Alongside attracting and retaining new golfers, longer and more enjoyable practice sessions result in ranges selling more balls. F&B orders can also be completed using the screens mounted at each bay.

2. Added data for teaching professionals

An effective teaching professional uses every tool at their disposal to help golfers get better. Having WindTag data on hand to guide golfers in how to manage different wind conditions and distances enables a deeper level of teaching.

Alongside other tech solutions like launch monitors and on-body or on-club analyzers, teaching professionals can deliver novel, unique insights.

3. Simple, cost-effective setup

All of these experiential upgrades come without the huge capital investment associated with other popular driving range technologies.

WindTag setup is simple and hassle-free, with each target getting a WindTag device and each bay getting a Tagmarshal screen. No cellular, Bluetooth or WiFi is required to transfer real-time data, and the devices are rugged and waterproof, minimizing maintenance efforts.

Conclusion

Golfers have grown tired of throwing grass into the air to measure the wind. Now, with WindTag, the technology finally exists to make that a thing of the past and rely instead on actual data.

As a driving range tool that sets a facility apart by enhancing the quality of the practice experience, WindTag is “mapping the invisible hazard” and solving questions in a way that benefits golfers and operators.
