Sal Syed was an avid golfer growing up, yet it was during his time at Yale University, Connecticut, where he began tracking his statistics in their simplest form. He wanted a better understanding of how he could track and learn from this numerical data he was collecting in order to better his game. He sat down with his now co-founders, who were in the same position at the time, and eventually Arccos was born and is now widely considered one of the best golf shot tracking systems and best golf gadgets around. It has been nine years since the first Arccos system was launched and after the news that the company had secured investment of multiple major OEMs, we sat down with Sal to gain a better understanding of the past, present and future of Arccos.
