“Given that the PGA Show typically reports a 4% year-over-year increase in attendance, we were thrilled to have had double digit growth years-over-year,” said Henri Johnson, founder and CEO of FlightScope. More than 15,000 shots were tracked on FlightScope radars during the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show. That equates to nearly 500 shots per hour. “One of the biggest trends this year was technology that helps golfers improve his/her skills, and FlightScope’s technology proved to be a perfect match,” Johnson continued.
