A Focused and Fun Way to Practice and Improve Your Game.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does it track the ball and how accurate is it? TrackMan uses Doppler radar, the same radar the military uses to track rockets and mortar. Unlike other launch monitors, TrackMan follows the ball for its entire flight and is accurate within 1 foot at every 100 yards. Because it is so accurate, every golf club manufacturer uses TrackMan to develop new clubs. Miles of Golf has used TrackMan for club-fitting for the last 3 years. When you watch golf tournaments on TV, the statistics and graphic depictions of the flight of the ball a player hits is made by TrackMan.
Where are the TrackMan tees? They are in the North Tee Shelter at Miles of Golf. These tees are painted orange and are all weather tees that protect you from rain, snow, and wind and have big radiant heater overhead. These tees are open for play all year. Because the radar units are fixed to the building, you must hit shots from these tees.
Describe a game. The most popular game is called “18 / 18” (18 holes in 18 minutes). There are 5 TrackMan targets on the range varying in distance from 65-175 yards. Hit three shots at each target. Each shot is scored by how close you are to the target. Scores are valued as either eagle, birdie, par, bogey, etc just like golf. After hitting 3 shots to each of the 5 targets, hit 3 drives between the large white poles and you will get a score for how straight and far each drive goes.

Where else can I try TrackMan the Game? There is one site in Sweden, one in Denmark, and one in Ypsilanti. We are the first range in the U.S. to have this. Because it is such a new concept, there will be plenty of changes to the system, like new games and tweaking of existing games.

Can my golf league schedule a block of time to have a little off-season competition? You sure can. Just call the Miles of Golf shop. 734-973-9004.
What else is Miles of Golf going to do with TrackMan the Game? Throughout the year, we are planning to have TrackMan tournaments with prizes. Enter an “18 / 18” tournament for the weekend or a long drive contest.
What do I do after I use up the introductory 30 minutes? Come to the golf shop and buy more time. You are given a pin number that gets entered on the monitor at the TrackMan tee. Once this pin number is entered, your account automatically gets credited time on TrackMan.
How good do I need to be to benefit from TrackMan? The practice and games are set up so that all levels of players can benefit from TrackMan. Some games and targets require that a player be able to hit the ball a minimum distance. The closest target is 65 yards.
How do I access my TrackMan shots on the internet? Go to mytrackman.com and enter the same user id and pin you used to start TrackMan at the range.

Sweet!
Trackman is an outstanding addition to the Miles of Golf/Kendall Acadamy facility. My son Michael takes lessons from Jeff Goble, and this technology will allow he and other serious students to measure their improvement, and determine if the teachers drills are working properly. Trackman will be used during each visit to Miles. Thank you for being on the forefront of golf instruction and technology.
