What is PARennial Golf?

PARennial Golf is an automated, self-service, 24/7 indoor golf facility.

How do memberships work?

Memberships provide access to the facility, and depending on the membership you choose, you will have access to a certain number of free bookings per month as well as walk-in play. Memberships bill monthly or annually and can be canceled at any time.

Do you have a mobile app?

Yes! Our mobile app allows you to manage your bookings, check bay availability, and more.

How do I know if there is an available simulator bay?

Each facility's simulator bay status is displayed in the app. Just select the facility you want to see! Each bay has a status of available, active session, active booking, or turning over. Additionally, you can see when the next booking is scheduled, if there is one. You have all the information you need to make an informed decision about when to come in.

So when I begin a session, can I play indefinitely?

Unlimited play happens on a first come, first served basis. If bays remain available, you can continue to play as long as you like. If all bays are full and other members are trying to play, our proprietary bay management system will automatically turn over the bay with the longest active session greater than an hour.

What if a bay isn't available and I want to come in?

If all bays are in use, then active sessions greater than an hour will begin to show as available in the app. Once you walk into a facility, the longest active session will be notified and given five minutes to wrap up before automatically ending. The bay will lock and you can then begin your session.

How do the four free bookings work with the Unlimited membership?

The four free bookings allow you to guarantee yourself a time, but they are not required. You can use them all at once or spread them out over the month. They are yours to use as you see fit.

How do I get in the door?

When you arrive, as long as you are within 6ft of the entry, you can unlock the door by pushing the "Request unlock" button in the app. The door will unlock and you can enter the facility. Once inside, you can unlock the bay you want to play in by selecting it in the app. The bay will unlock and you can begin your session.

What if I have a problem while I'm there?

Our facility is staffless, but that doesn't mean there is no one to help you! We pride ourselves on our immediate response. Our support team is available 24/7 should you need any help. Just give support a call and we'll have you sorted out!

How do I get started?

You can get started by downloading the app. From there, you can make a booking or begin a membership. With a membership, you can begin playing immediately! We can't wait to see you in the facility!

Understanding Trackman Putting Data

Ever wondered why some putts break more than others, or why your seemingly perfect stroke produces inconsistent results? At PARennial Golf, we believe that understanding your putting data is the key to becoming a more consistent putter. Let's break down Trackman's putting measurements into digestible insights that will help you hole more putts.

The Stroke Mechanics

Timing & Rhythm

Backswing Time: How long your putter travels away from the ball. Think of this as the 'loading' phase of your stroke.
Forward Swing Time: The time your putter spends moving toward impact. This is your 'delivery' phase.
Tempo: The relationship between your backswing and forward swing times. Like a metronome for your putting stroke, this ratio is crucial for consistency.
Stroke Length: How far you take the putter back. This is your 'dosage' control for distance.

Impact Conditions

Club Speed: Your putter's velocity at impact - the primary driver of distance control.
Face Angle: Where your putter face is pointing at impact. Even a single degree off here can mean a missed putt.
Club Path: The direction your putter is moving through impact (in-to-out or out-to-in).
Face to Path: The relationship between face angle and path. This tells you why your ball starts on its initial line - or doesn't.
Dynamic Lie: How your putter shaft leans at impact, affecting the ball's launch conditions.

Ball Behavior

Initial Launch

Ball Speed: The immediate velocity of your ball post-impact.
Launch Direction: Where your ball starts relative to your target line.
Launch Angle: How much your ball is lifting off the ground at impact.

The Roll Phase

Skid Distance: How far your ball bounces or slides before achieving true roll.
Roll Speed: The velocity once your ball starts purely rolling.
Speed Drop: The percentage of speed lost between impact and true roll.
Roll Percentage: The proportion of your putt that's actually rolling versus skidding.
Bounces: The number of times your ball hops during the skid phase.

Green Reading Metrics

Surface Analysis

Effective Stimp: The actual speed of your specific putt.
Flat Stimp: The general green speed, normalized for slope.
Slope Percentage (Side & Rise): The actual tilt of the green, both horizontally and vertically.
Break: Total curve from start to finish.
Elevation: Height change from start to finish of your putt.

Pro Tip

While Trackman captures many putting metrics, the key to consistent putting lies in three fundamental measurements:

Face Angle: The biggest factor in your initial ball direction. Even the perfect speed doesn't matter if you're starting the ball offline.
Club Path: A consistent path leads to consistent impact. Think of this as your putter's highway to the ball.
Speed Control: Monitored through ball speed and roll metrics, this determines not just distance but how your ball behaves on slopes and breaks.

Focus on these three elements, and you'll see immediate improvements in your putting consistency. Remember, even the pros only make about 50% of their 8-foot putts - putting is about managing your misses as much as making everything.

Why This Matters

At PARennial Golf, we see putting as a blend of art and science. Understanding these numbers helps you:

Develop a more consistent stroke
Better predict how your ball will react on different surfaces
Practice with purpose rather than just hitting putts
Make more informed decisions about your putting style and equipment

Remember, these measurements are tools to help you understand your tendencies and improve your consistency. They should inform your practice, not overwhelm it. Every great putter has their own unique stroke - what matters is finding what works consistently for you.
