The ParryMeter gives turf managers the opportunity to own an accurate, user-friendly agronomy and performance management tool which feeds data directly to a custom-built smartphone application.

Recording, interpreting and reporting information has become an important aspect of golf course management. It aids planning and decision making, ensures budgets are used effectively, and increasingly helps organisations meet regulatory requirements.

Owning the device gives the turf manager total flexibility to take measurements as frequently as they choose and at times that suit them.

Each ParryMeter is precision engineered and assembled by hand in Wales before being rigorously tested.

It operates using a real Pro V1 golf ball which sits directly beneath the smartphone or iPod holder and mimics a golfer`s ball. The ParryMeter app records 2000 readings per run as the device rolls across the surface and the phone's accelerometer and gyroscope measure every single vertical and lateral deviation. The user can also opt to view the ball roll in real-time as they walk across the green. Results are measured in gravities and recorded in a specially developed app where they can be analysed, interpreted and shared.

The app, currently available for Apple devices but coming soon on Android, is simple to useand combines recorded data with user-inputted information to produce a comprehensive greens performance profile.
