Mobile apps : Nike Golf 360 App Goes Global

NG360 version 2.0 brings game-changing updates.

Nike Golf brings its popular NG360 app to Europe and Canada with enhanced functionality and a new look.

The NG360 app, which launched in the United States last May, introduced a new way of tracking, competing and connecting with Nike Golf. The app, available for iPhone, provided golfers with an innovative digital tool serving up swing analysis, game tracking and gear recommendations with the swipe of a fingertip.

With the latest NG360 app release, golf athletes will enjoy improved game-tracking, redesigned navigation and the ability to track rounds on more than 30,000 courses in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Sweden and France.

“We wanted to take NG360 to our athletes across the globe,” said Sunny Miller, Global Digital Director for Nike Golf. “The app helps golfers maximize their game with easy-to-navigate tools and tutorials. The updated NG360 app makes tracking and improving simpler, motivating athletes to know their game to better their game.”

NG360 Key Features

GAME
Golfers can score rounds and track statistics such as their scoring average, driving accuracy, greens in regulation and average putts per round. The NG360 app allows golfers to see how they stack up by monitoring results and recording personal bests.
Golfers stay motivated by winning trophies as their statistics improve. New in-app leaderboards and user profiles make competing against Nike+ friends fun, easy and even more motivating. Personal bests and trophies have been updated, giving athletes more goals to accomplish during the season.

TRAINING
Capture your swing, break it down and dial it in. Then learn from the pros and train like one with golf-specific workouts. Insider content from the pros provides an array of tips to make getting better easy and enjoyable.
The training section also helps athletes get into golf shape thanks to Nike Golf’s partnership with the Gray Institute, the foremost leader in Applied Functional Science. The Gray Institute has developed the NG360 Functional Performance System, which is tailored to golf-specific movements, a clear distinction from other training systems.

GEAR
Golfers can find and learn more about the latest Nike Golf products to suit their needs right in the app. Tools such as the Nike Golf Ball Recommender make it easy for golfers to find the right ball for their game. To help athletes get dialed from tee to green, driver setting recommendations and game analysis are included in the app.

The NG360 app, now optimized for iPhone 5, is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch.
