Industry leading range technology provider, Toptracer, has unveiled a brand-new game mode known as 'Toptracer30' that is now available to play at your local Toptracer driving range.
The exciting new game mode puts players in 30 realistic virtual on-course scenarios, and measures how successfully the player navigates them – providing a mountain of data in just 30 shots. Each shot provides data which accumulates to a total score designed to offer an accurate and objective snapshot assessment of the player’s current performance level. This gives golfers of all skill levels the opportunity to track improvements in various parts of their game, and gives their practice more meaning.
The new game mode has been designed as a bridge between the range and the golf course, simulating on-course pressure for players as they are tasked with a series of different situations. Toptracer30 is made up of nine tee shots and 21 approach shots, with each shot evaluated depending on a number of variables - ranging from distance and accuracy when driving, to hole proximity and greens hit when approaching. In just 30 balls, you're faced with almost every on-course situation besides putting and chipping, with shots from 50 yards in length all the way to tight drives.
During gameplay, players are additionally provided with a series of ‘Insights.’ As each is observed, evaluated, and analysed, players are given real-time feedback into the strengths and weaknesses of their performance during that play-through of Toptracer30.
Upon completion of the Toptracer30 game mode, each shot is assessed and attributed to a ‘Performance Handicap’ – an estimated handicap that reflects the player’s performance across the entire 30 shots. Golfers have access to real-time, in-game insights that not only give in-depth feedback after finishing the game, but also provides players with information on how they are performing during it. Post-game analysis and insights are also stored in the player’s Toptracer Range app account for later review.
The brand new game mode is designed to be played by all levels of golfers, and anyone can play it as long as you have have at least 30 golf balls left in your basket.
