Last month, Bushnell Foresight (Foresight) invited me to their San Diego headquarters to get a behind-the-scenes look at the brand and their latest tech. Not only did I get to hang out with their team, but I also had the chance to check out their new Foresight GC3, GC3S, and the Bushnell LPi Personal Launch Monitor. I also got to try their groundbreaking LINK-Enabled Technology, both in the simulator and out on the course. It was an amazing experience, and their latest release is one of the most innovative pieces of golf tech I’ve seen in a long time.

Foresight has been a big player in the launch monitor industry for decades—you’ll spot their GC Quad units all over tour event driving ranges. Golf nerds like you and me love using it as an indoor simulator, while golf fitters swear by Foresight’s launch monitors for their data. With the release of their LINK-Enabled technology, you now can use the data from any Foresight or Bushnell launch monitor and connect it directly to your Bushnell rangefinder or GPS app to help manage your game and lower your scores.

The best part is that it’s easy to use. Just hit three shots with each club in your golf bag while using Foresight’s MyBag assessment in the Foresight app. The MyBag assessment looks at shot data for real-world use to determine carry distance and shot shape. If you don’t like one of the shots, you can easily delete it, allowing you to pick the three that you like the best. When you’re done, the MyBag assessment will automatically upload this data to your Foresight account, which syncs with the Bushnell app.

The magic happens when you’re out on the course using a Bushnell LINK-Enabled laser rangefinder or the Bushnell GPS app. When looking through the rangefinder, you will see two new values, a personalized “Play As” distance on the right side of the display and a club recommendation on the left. The “Play As” distances aren’t just customized to your golf launch monitor data, but it also factors environmental conditions like slope, wind and temperature. When looking at the club recommendations, you’ll see two options in the viewfinder (marked with +/-), letting you choose between a conservative or aggressive approach. 

As for the Bushnell app, it will also provide you with “Today’s Distances,” which considers the outdoor weather conditions, and my personal favorite, the “Club Dispersion Patterns,” which show where you typically hit the ball with a specific club.  This new system is so accurate that it will even tell you the right club to help you land your ball on the front or back of the green. 

Foresight didn’t just add LINK-Enabled Technology to their new personal launch monitors—they made sure it works with their older GC3 and Bushnell Launch Pro models. That’s a great move that really shows how much they care about their customers.

After completing the MyBag assessment, I played a round at La Costa using the new Pro X3+ Link rangefinder and the Bushnell golf app. I was impressed. The MyBag process was easy, and I loved that I could delete shots to make sure I got three good ones that showed what each club could do.

What blew me away was how accurate the recommendations were when I hit the course—especially when I needed an extra club or two for shots over the lake, elevated greens and those massive bunkers. The LINK-Enabled tech delivers—its accuracy is spot-on, and it couldn’t be easier to use. If you’re serious about improving your golf game, you’ll love getting detailed info and instant feedback. It’s worth adding if it fits your budget.
