WindTag Golf Sensor

IoT Systems, Sports Tech Manufacturer

Initiated July 2023, Completed January 2025

This low-profile sensor mounts directly on every flagstick to capture real-time wind and pin-location data without affecting play. A ultrasonic anemometer and IMU are used to infer wind speed and direction, while an onboard GNSS module geotags each hole. Low-power firmware lets the unit run an entire season on a coin-cell backup, trickle-charged by a micro solar panel. Data hops across a LoRa mesh backhaul to the clubhouse, feeding a pace-of-play and analytics engine so superintendents and golfers always have current conditions at a glance.
