Downloaded ShotSense Golf and curious about Daily Challenges? They're the heart of ShotSense Golf’s gamified practice, letting you sharpen your golf strategy in minutes. Here's exactly how to enter, earn points, and elevate your decision-making daily.

What Are ShotSense Golf's Daily Challenges?

Think of Daily Challenges as mini golf puzzles. Each morning, ShotSense Golf provides a virtual scenario from a real golf hole, like a strategic par-4. Analyze yardages, wind, hazards, and select your best strategy (club selection, target line, aggressiveness) - all without swinging a club. These quick challenges keep your strategic mind sharp anywhere you have your phone.

Entering a Daily Challenge (Step-by-Step)

  1. Set Up Your Bag: First, download ShotSense Golf and complete your onboarding by setting your clubs and personal preferences.
  2. Navigate to the Challenge Tab: Open the ShotSense Golf app and tap the Challenge tab in the navigation bar.
  3. Select Today's Challenge: Choose the current Daily Challenge or revisit a prior one.
  4. Analyze the Hole (Drone Flyover & 3D View): Watch a brief drone flyover video to preview the hole. Next, examine distances, wind, and hazards. Tap the 3D button for detailed hole visualization.
  5. Choose Your Tee Shot: Select your club and aim direction based on the scenario. Lock in your decision and submit.
  6. Plan Your Approach: After your tee shot decision, zoom in to examine the green closely. Use the detailed 3D view again to decide on your ideal approach shot.
  7. Get Instant Feedback: ShotSense instantly evaluates your strategy, giving you a score out of 100. Tap to review insights on your tee shot and approach decisions separately.
  8. Earn Points (XP): You’ll earn XP based on your first attempt’s accuracy. You can try up to three times each day to improve your strategy and learning, but XP counts only for your initial try.

Scoring Points for Smart Decisions

The app scores your strategy against its ShotSense decision engine. The smarter your choices, the higher your points. Points help you measure your progress and offer friendly competition through leaderboards. Consistently high scores can unlock badges rewarding strategic streaks and dedicated practice.

Crucially, challenges steadily build your golf IQ. When your strategy misses the optimal solution, ShotSense Golf helps you learn the smarter play. Over time, you’ll see clear improvement.

Track Your Progress

Use ShotSense Golf’s leaderboards and personal stats to track your growth. Review your daily scores, ranks, and improvement trends. Consistent practice leads to smarter golf decisions - your rankings will naturally climb over time.

In short, Daily Challenges deliver engaging, focused practice that’s quick, accessible, and rewarding. Make them a daily habit and become a smarter golfer for your next round.
