Pro vs Caddie

Playing new courses can be challenging, which is where an AI Caddie comes in handy. Here's a quick snapshot into my recent trip to Myrtle Beach with Gerry Carry and how I used Tangent to face off against the club pro on a difficult hole.

Challenging pros on the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail

I recently had the pleasure of playing 6 courses on the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail including the phenomenal Rivers Edge. I challenged several of the club pros to a one hole where Gerry Carry would caddie for the pro and I would use TANGENT.

In preparing to play the course, I used the TANGENT explore mode and almost had my jaw drop when I saw this insane golf hole:

This hole is called Arnie’s Revenge. The story goes that Arnold Palmer (who designed Rivers Edge) went to play this hole after the course was built and after putting several balls in the water on the impossible second shot said ‘Who designed this hole?!?!’

Click the link to see if I was able beat River’s Edge head pro Dan Miller on one of the hardest holes I’ve ever played.

The hole beat us both up, but don’t worry. I had my revenge the second time through with great advice from the TANGENT AI Caddie.

If you like running a speaker or just don't want your phone in your pocket, a Desert Fox phone holder is the ticket to have easy access to caddie yardages without fumbling in drink holders. If you turn on your TANGENT Live Activity, you can even get caddie suggestions at a glance without unlocking your phone.
