Swing ID by Golfshot

Swing ID by Golfshot allows you to capture swing data during play.The Golfshot app pairs with an Apple Watch to collect data.You can review the data during or after your round.

Swing ID by Golfshot may already be in your iPhone

Many of you are loyal Golfshot app users. I understand. Golfshot was one of the first golf apps I downloaded on my first iPhone. Many iPhones have come and gone since my first one and a version of Golfshot lived on each and every one.

Naturally, Golfshot is on my current iPhone.

A few years ago, I chronicled some helpful Apple Watch golf apps. Many of you were kind enough to leave a comment letting me know that I had missed the Golfshot watch app. Turns out I’m not omniscient. Who knew?

Now I’ve come to find out that there is another Golfshot app feature that flew under my radar. Golfshot has a new Swing ID feature for the app and Apple Watch. If you are a Golfshot Pro member, this feature is already available in your app settings.

Those of you with the free Golfshot GPS or the upgraded Golfshot Plus membership can see the Swing ID menu in the app but you will need to pay to use it.

How To Organize A Golf Bag

The way I look at it, you have two priorities when you organize your golf bag. The first is to get the clubs in the right positions. The second is to organize the rest of your gear. I’ll give you a few tips that have worked for me and a few things to look for in a new golf bag that can help with organization. 

How To Organize My Clubs In A Golf Bag 

The first step in this process is to look at the dividers that you have. An excellent cart bag will probably have 14 individual full-length dividers for keeping shafts and grips protected. 

With a lightweight stand bag, you may only have three or five dividers.

The putter can go in an individual compartment or it can go near the top where the driver and fairway woods are (as long as you have a cover on the putter). 

Tips To Organize Golf Clubs Correctly

Does golf club organization really matter? Yes. It helps you quickly spot a club you accidentally may have left on the previous hole and it protects graphite shafts.

Cart bags have a lot of dividers to help you organize your golf bag.
