(NEW YORK) – AVA Golf, the first platform designed to transform golfers’ performance data into personalized improvement plans, has incorporated a new feature that allows users to connect their AVA Golf accounts with compatible AI assistants, including Claude and ChatGPT. Golfers ask questions in their own words via text or voice about their rounds, practice sessions, performance trends, handicap history, bag composition and swing profiles to identify patterns in their games. Rather than navigating multiple data screens, they have the option to use an AI assistant – working in concert with AVA Golf’s MCP server – to review their individual statistics, understand where they are gaining or losing strokes and track their personal progressions over time. The accuracy of feedback golfers receive from AVA Golf is vastly better than that from larger AI assistants which aren’t specifically programmed to share golf insights and leave much counsel to guesswork. The new feature augments AVA Golf’s foundation of aggregating golfers’ data from simulators, launch monitors and on-course play across devices they use.
