Leopardstown Golf Centre installs TrackMan in 70 bays

Leopardstown Golf Centre is now the biggest tech-enabled range in Ireland with over 70 bays integrating TrackMan technology. 

The technology precisely measures each shot, giving instant feedback on ball data including ball speed, carry and total distance, launch angle, launch direction and more. 

Information is displayed on an in-bay touchscreen monitor and via the free mobile app which records all shot data in a player's profile to review later.

"I am absolutely delighted to have TrackMan Range installed in Leopardstown,” said Alan Dunning, General manager of Leopardstown. “TrackMan is a premium brand that is universally recognised and associated with industry-leading accuracy and quality. 

“Ball tracking technology is the future of the driving range and gives practice sessions real purpose. We have installed screens in every one of our 56 covered bays downstairs, but our outdoor bays will also have the benefit of the tracking facility and players can use their mobile phone or tablet to see their data. 

“Impact Golf, our Golf Academy providing tuition in Leopardstown will have three screens upstairs which will enable their clients to record all their range sessions to track their progress. I would encourage everyone to download the Trackman Golf App for the best possible experience in Leopardstown.”  

Some of the world's best courses are available to play on the TrackMan virtual golf system such as Lahinch, St Andrews, The West Course at Wentworth, Liberty National and Albany, the site of this week’s Hero World Challenge in The Bahamas. Visitors will be able to play these courses and also compete in local and global tournaments on the TrackMan virtual courses.

Games such as Bullseye, Nearest the Pin and Capture the Flag can also be played. There is something for everyone from non-golfers and beginners to elite golfers and tour professionals!

This installation represents the latest in a series of investments made by Leopardstown Golf Centre which forms part of the Horse Racing Ireland property portfolio. 

In 2019, 34 Power Tees were purchased and at the start of 2021 a four-year contract was signed with Wilson Golf to provide Leopardstown with 100,000 new premium range balls per year. Further improvements are to come in 2022.
