College Golf Experience Partners with Performance Analytics Platform, Circles
College Golf Experience (CGX), the leading college golf camp company exclusively endorsed by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), announces a new partnership with Draw More Circles (Circles) – a performance analytics platform, including curated AI insights and data-led coaching strategies. Circles will provide CGX Exposure and Tournament Prep Camp participants with an innovative platform to help players improve their game, lower scores, and up their rankings.
“Over the last three years analytics has become one of the most powerful game improvement tools, with Circles being at the forefront of shot tracking and data-gathering for competitive players,” said CGX CEO Joshua Jacobs. “Creating value for CGX camp participants and college coaches is essential to our mission. We are excited to be able to offer a platform to our players that optimizes their training and creates new ways to connect with college coaches.”
As part of a multi-tiered partnership that includes various joint marketing efforts, Circles will become the exclusive player analytics platform across all CGX Exposure and Tournament Prep Camps. All camp participants will receive a three-month membership, and Circles will also offer special programming for college coaches who participate in CGX camps.
Circles provides a platform for players to collect, track, and analyze every shot they take. Through advanced analytics and AI insights, Circles is used to help coaches and players make more informed decisions, identify strengths and opportunities, and create bespoke training plans. This leads to more efficient practice, better preparation, and improved outcomes guided by Circles personalized course strategy tools.
“Aspiring college athletes are constantly seeking opportunities to improve and gain exposure with the right coaches. We are excited for how the CGX and Circles partnership will facilitate meaningful outcomes for these ambitious athletes,” said Circles CEO Hamish Mitchell. “We are motivated to unlock the full potential of every golfer by analyzing and providing objectivity to players and coaches, driving better training and on-course outcomes.”
Through Circles, coaches like Casey Lubahn, head coach for Michigan State men’s golf team, find they can easily develop more effective training plans, tailor instruction to individual needs, and monitor progress with precision.
“Circles is the most comprehensive and intuitive statistics and player development program we have used in my time in college golf. The data is easy to input, and it shows the players and coaches valuable information that will help them make their practice and game planning more efficient. Additionally, the customer service we experience is world-class – the team at Circles is invested in our improvement, and their follow-up is exceptional. Our players have never been more enthused about their data and learning all they can with the Circles platform,” Lubahn said.
CGX camps connect junior golfers and their parents with college coaches for opportunities to gain exposure, learn from each other, and receive education about the college golf landscape and the path to get there. Designed for young men and women ages 12-18, CGX camps feature educational seminars led by college coaches on all aspects of college golf, the recruiting process, and course management and strategy – including open Q&A sessions for parents. CGX camps include college golf practice sessions with skill development and challenges and on-course coach and player engagement. Parents are invited to participate every step of the way at CGX camps.
