If you're using a launch monitor like Trackman, Garmin, SkyTrak, Rapsodo, Flightscope, or any launch monitor on the market, you're already collecting powerful data every time you swing. But are you actually using that data to play better on the course?

Most golfers only look at averages or dispersion on the range. The real value comes when you connect your simulator performance to real-world strategy.

Here’s how you can use your shot data to play smarter on the course:

1. Understand your dispersion patterns — Not just how far your 7-iron goes on average, but the range of outcomes (carry distance, left/right, short/long).

2. Apply shot pattern data to aim smarter — You might think you're aiming at the flag, but if 30% of your shots land short right, you could be setting yourself up for trouble.

3. Factor in course conditions — Wind, slope, and elevation matter. Tools like Noonan can adjust your simulator data in real time to give you smarter "plays like" distances.

4. Make better club decisions — Stop guessing. Use your launch monitor's club gapping data to select the club with the best chance of reaching your target safely.


With the Noonan app, you can upload your launch monitor data and get on-course recommendations tailored to your game. Noonan visualizes exactly what to do on a GPS map for each hole you play. Your dispersion, your distances, your odds — all automated on the spot so you don't have to do the math.  It's the easiest and most effective way to shoot lower scores without making any changes to your swing.
