To coincide with the historic 150th staging of The Open Championship, the 9-Shot Challenge will be taking place exclusively on Toptracer Range platforms from July 9-17 with all levels of golfers encouraged to take part.

Participants will hit approach shots on nine different virtual golf holes at St Andrews, as they vie for the top spot on global leaderboards. Testing golfers’ approach play, participants will see where they rank in real-time throughout the duration of The 150th Open Championship – with a selection of prizes up for grabs.

In addition to the 9-Shot Challenge, golfers can now virtually play the Old Course at St Andrews exclusively at Toptracer’s 550-plus global driving ranges, allowing more golfers than ever before to test themselves against the world’s most famous course.

The latest 9-Shot Challenge, along with the addition of the Old Course to Toptracer’s Virtual Golf game mode, represents Toptracer’s commitment to growing the game of golf by making even the world’s best-known venues more accessible, and connecting them with communities across the globe.

Toptracer has revolutionised the driving range and allows golfers of all ages, genders and skill levels the chance to improve and enjoy their golf.

The fun challenge only takes nine shots and it can be attempted as many times as you like during your range session. The challenge itself takes around 5-10 minutes to take part in and is completely free to take part in once golfers have purchased balls or bay time at their local range.
