Hi, this is Craig at Private Fairway and I'm going to show you the latest improvements to the Performance Center feature we have on our TrackMan system here. There's a few new updates to it that make it a lot more user friendly and will help you play better golf.

So first thing we're going to do is we're just going to jump into it and I'll show you what the improvements are. So we're just going to load it up here. One of the things we're going to want to make sure is that the settings are the way we like them.

For example, I like the markers to be on, I want to make sure it's at my altitude. You can now add players and the players will allow you to switch, which is a really cool feature before you had to kind of exit out and start it over.

So we're going to come in, we're going to pick our player and it gives us now a warm up mode. So if we wanted to warm up and hit some shots, we could do that, but we're just going to skip it for now. And then it's going to give us this performance center, which is pretty similar to what we've done in the past.

So it's going to choose a handicap for you, but you can pick the handicap that's closest to you. So now instead of us just getting scores, strokes gain scores against tour pros, we're going to get them against handicaps similar to ours. So I'm a 12, so I'll put that in.

As far as distance, you can set this up to be randomized. So if you want to have it ran intervals between distances, like a really great thing would be what's distances that you struggle with. So let's say maybe it's maybe 100 to 150, we'll say something like that.

You can also have it either randomize the green or if you want to choose the green. And so it's the same green all the time. You can do that too. And then it'll randomize the pin location, but not the green. We'll keep it on randomized just for fun. And then we're going to click confirm.

And now it's going to load this up for us. So now what we have is we have 143 yard shot. You can see the green.

The biggest difference you're going to see here is the circle now, instead of just being that little circle around the green, around the pin for the handicap, like if I were to switch it back to the tour pro, that's what it used to be, right, when we were doing this.

But now I can set it to my handicap, which gives me a little more realistic idea of what is a good shot for me. All right. So let's hit a couple of these and show you how it works. Oh, that's pretty good. Rolled right past the hole. So a little long, right, but gives you kind of an idea of what's going on.

So now it's going to, because I had it randomized the targets, it's going to pick the next shot for me. So that next shot, it's going to look something like this. I need to clear the bunker. Now this is a little trickier one because bunker in front, bunker in back, it's in the narrow part of the green.

Don't think about it too much. Might not be enough. Oh, it's pretty good. Oh, rolled off the edge. So it's just off the edge. Not too bad. Now we're at a 131. This is a little more forgiving green, looks like. Landed a little short, rolled up on. And now I'm plus stroke.

So I'm in the plus category and I'll just keep going on and on and on. And then the greatest thing about it is it'll upload it to your track man app. So you can look at the session later. You can also switch players now. So if I just click the switch, now I can switch to player two and now player two.Or if somebody else is logged in with their track man account, they can practice as well. So you can switch between players, which is a really great new feature. Now you'll see when I switch players, though, it gave them a zero handicap. So we would want to change it to whatever handicap they are.

And then it gives you kind of an idea. So you can do this two ways. One is you could put your handicap in there and just feel good about being on your handicap. Or if you want to try to pressure yourself a little bit, pick a lower handicap. Like I could pick an eight like that, for example, instead of a 12.

And I could work to get better at that target rather than my 12 target.

So that's one of the ways you can play better this year at Private Fairway and drop some strokes from your game.
