After some initial obstacles and difficulties in the testing process of the Rapsodo Golf MLM, I had a breakthrough session. For the first time, I received accurate distance readings in that, the same distance that I observed coincided with the MLM.
Therein lies the difference?
I have one theory as to why it went so differently. I visited a different driving range on November 11th. The range that I tend to frequent uses yellow range balls. Instead, I went to a driving range that has white golf balls. There are flight restricted golf balls at both facilities but the difference that I witnessed was unbelievable. Is it entirely possible that the colour made a difference? Does the iPhone 8’s camera have a difficult time tracking these yellow driving rang golf balls, thus giving inaccurate results?
Time will tell. Here are a series of videos from that session and then the following day. Bear with me, it was windy as heck and the wind does clean up.

The Following Day
Back to my usual driving range.
I am convinced that the golf ball colour may impact the accuracy the results.
Stay tuned for more as testing of the Rapsodo Golf MLM is ongoing.
I've nearly done it all in the golf industry. From my beginnings as a Marshall, to becoming an Associate Professional. I climbed the ranks through being hardworking and hard-nosed and eventually became a Director of Golf. I've fought, scratched, and clawed for every opportunity. I've also played on Mini (Developmental) Tour's and in U.S. Open Qualifying.
I became interested in golf after a chance meeting of Mr. Arnold Palmer when he was in Hamilton, Ontario for the PGA Canadian Senior Open in 1996. Little did I know that this beautiful game would consume me and develop into one of my passions.
When I'm not writing, talking about, or playing golf I can be found with my Black Lab, outdoors, on a stream fly fishing, or playing guitar.
