I might try this app, I just want distance to the green on approach shots.
I know 3-4 people who are big wheels at Arccos. After them bugging me for 2 years, I put Arccos sensors on a couple of my clubs. I ripped them off after 9 holes. What a PIA. Talk about distracting!

That said Arccos has 2 statistician (Lou Stagner & Hutch), who spend their life analyzing data. Arccos has a database of over 1,000,000,000 golf shots. Hutch's analysis of data and golfers proclivities, are amazing. Stagner's a jerk in my opinion and nothing more than a rookie engagement farmer.

Both Stagner & Hutch are frequent posters on X and offer fascinating insights into golf statistics.

There are number of simple programs that will give you GPS distance on your watch. Personally, I think GolfShot Pro offers the best & most information ... but you can certainly use the free GolfShot App to give you simple GPS distances.
