Understanding TrackMan: Golf’s Game-Changing Technology

TrackMan isn’t just equipment—it’s your personal golf detective, uncovering the mysteries behind every shot you take. Using precision radar technology, this sophisticated system captures the complete flight of your ball from impact to landing, along with the critical data points of your swing. The result is a comprehensive picture of your golf game that leaves nothing to guesswork.

At Burlingame, our golf professionals integrate TrackMan seamlessly into lessons, creating a personalized improvement experience that honors both the science and art of the game. As the ball soars against our mountain backdrop, TrackMan captures the story behind each flight path, helping you write a better chapter in your golfing journey.

Key Metrics That Matter

When you step into a TrackMan session at Burlingame, you’ll discover insights about your game that were previously invisible. Our system tracks crucial data points including:

Club Data: Attack angle, club path, face angle, and swing direction—these fundamentals reveal the truth behind your contact with the ball. Understanding these metrics helps our pros make small adjustments with significant impacts.

Ball Data: Launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, and carry distance tell the complete story of your ball’s journey. These numbers help you select the right clubs for your unique swing and course strategy.

Consistency Metrics: TrackMan measures the variance in your swing, highlighting patterns that might be causing inconsistency. This is particularly valuable on our mountain course, where precision is rewarded.

While many clubs offer tracking technology, Burlingame’s approach creates a uniquely valuable experience. Our golf professionals don’t simply share numbers—they translate data into practical improvements that respect your natural swing and goals. Whether you’re working to break 80 or simply enjoy more consistent play during member events, our TrackMan sessions adapt to your ambitions.

During your session, you’ll experience the perfect harmony between technical analysis and our club’s warm, personalized approach.
