Frequently Asked Questions
1. I already have a Foresight Sports launch monitor; how can I Get Linked? What else do I need?
To Get Linked, ensure your Foresight Sports launch monitor is updated with the latest firmware. You will also need a Bushnell Golf Pro X3 LINK laser rangefinder (see question 3 for full list of compatible rangefinders) and the Foresight and Bushnell Golf mobile apps for data synchronization. Link your existing launch monitor.
2. I already have a Bluetooth-enabled Bushnell Golf laser rangefinder. What else do I need?
You will need a Foresight Sports launch monitor with the latest firmware and the Foresight Sports and Bushnell Golf mobile apps to initiate LINK-Enabled Technology. Going forward, all newly purchased Foresight Sports launch monitors with LINK-Enabled compatibility will be clearly marked. Link your existing Range Finder.
3. Which Bushnell Golf laser rangefinders support LINK-Enabled Technology?
The following Bushnell Golf laser rangefinders support LINK-Enabled Technology:
-
Bushnell Golf Pro X3 LINK
- Bushnell Golf Pro X3+LINK
-
Bushnell Golf Pro X3 (requires firmware update)
-
Bushnell Golf Pro X3+ (requires firmware update)
4. What apps do I need?
You need the Foresight Sports app for MyBag assessments and the Bushnell Golf app for syncing your data and enabling the rangefinder features.
5. How do I perform a MyBag assessment?
Link your launch monitor to your mobile device using the Foresight Sports app. Access MyBag and then record data by hitting at least three shots with each club in your bag. The more shots you hit with each club, the more accurate the data will be. Finally, sync your Foresight Sports app with the Bushnell Golf app to push the MyBag information to your rangefinder.
“Foresight developed an easy-to-use MyBag assessment app that you run through and hit three shots with each one of the clubs in your bag.”
– GolfWRX
6. Is LINK-Enabled Technology approved for competitive play by the USGA?
No, LINK-Enabled Technology is not approved for competitive play by the USGA. According to Rule 4.3a, distance measuring devices that provide club recommendations, display effective distances and/or measure variable conditions are not permitted in competitive rounds. The slope function and other LINK-Enabled recommendations can be disabled on Bushnell Golf LINK-Enabled laser rangefinders in competitive situations where only straight line distance is allowed.
7. Can I just plug my distances in somewhere instead of having to perform a MyBag assessment?
No, a MyBag assessment is required to ensure accuracy. It captures your unique shot data for precise club recommendations and personalized “PlayAs” distances.
8. Can multiple rangefinders connect with one launch monitor device?
Yes, a single launch monitor can connect with multiple rangefinders. Each golfer, owning individual rangefinders, needs to download the Foresight and Bushnell apps, create accounts and link them. The player then connects their app to the launch monitor, identifies their clubs and completes a MyBag assessment. The data is synced to the cloud and available in the MyBag section of the Foresight app and the Bushnell app. Each golfer then syncs their rangefinder with the Bushnell app on their mobile phone to access personalized data. The launch monitor records data, while the apps manage user-specific tracking.
9. Can I use the GC3S indoors or outdoors?
Yes, the GC3S is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, providing flexibility to perform your MyBag assessment in various environments.
10. Do both the GC3S and GC3 packages come with a Bushnell Pro X3 LINK laser rangefinder?
Yes, both packages include a Bushnell Pro X3 LINK laser rangefinder.
11. What’s the difference between the GC3S and GC3 packages?
The GC3S package costs $3,799 and includes a subscription for club tracking, gaming software (FSX Play and FSX Pro), and 25 simulation courses. The first year is included, with a $499/year fee afterward. The GC3 package, priced at $6,999, includes these features without a subscription and comes with a Sling Bag to safely and easily transport your device.
