7 new ways golf instruction is embracing artificial intelligence and innovative technology

#artificialintelligence

Though golf has a tendency to move slower than most industries, the technology innovations we've seen this week beg to differ. Artificial intelligence and robotics have been terms perhaps thrown around in the past, implemented by only the biggest companies, but now we're actually seeing the results of intense research and development. And that's especially true in the golf instruction realm, where lessons can have so much added value with the right set of data and smart products. There were too many items to say this is a definitive list. But this is at least what caught our eye at the 2020 PGA Merchandise Show in the ever-expanding tech/instruction space.

Japan's baseball champs may rewrite 'Moneyball'- Nikkei Asian Review

#artificialintelligence

About a month into Japan's professional baseball season, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, the 2014 and 2015 national champions, are doing no worse. Many say the team's strong lineup is underpinned by the cash-rich SoftBank Group, a big telecom and technology group. The reality is quite the reverse. Unlike their rivals, the Hawks are a stand-alone club, though one with the financial leeway to allocate profits to areas where the front office sees fit, such as player development and information technology. With the help of its tech-savvy parent, the club may be about to rewrite "Moneyball," the 2003 bestseller about how a Major League Baseball team in the U.S. used statistical analysis to beat high-spending opponents.
