“Backed by partnerships with the National Golf Foundation, PGA Golf Retirement+, and TROON, millions of golfers will quickly learn about this watch and its endless features that give any type of golfer the most accurate on-course information needed to perform at the highest level, as well as expert shot tracking technology to drive measurable game improvement.”
Boasting a stylish look with a vivid full-color daylight readable screen, the V5 design allows golfers to customize the color and display, along with a choice of clock faces to wear in everyday life. Backed by four easy-to-use push buttons that allow simple navigation through the watch’s multiple screen features, the V5 provides golfers with pinpoint front, middle, and back distances to every green as well as measurements to hazards, layups, and doglegs on all 36,000 preloaded courses worldwide.
Proprietary hole maps give golfers an overview of the hole they are about to play allowing them to plan their way around the course and save strokes.
Additionally, the Green view and pin placement features allow golfers to interact with their V5 and get exact yardages to their desired location on the green. Once holed out, players can record their score quickly and easily with the built-in digital scorecard.

Powered by 16 x 2nd generation lightweight plug-n-play club RFID tags that are embedded with smart GPS chips and easily screw into the butt-end of every club, data from all shots hit is captured and stored on Shot Scope’s interactive dashboard, which can easily be accessed through a free mobile app for use on iOS and Android.
Following a round, golfers can access over 100 performance statistics including Strokes Gained and Handicap Benchmarking to pinpoint areas to improve. Features such as MyStrategy, Shots Plotted, and Course Analysis allow a golfer to dive into detail about specific rounds and courses.
