AccelGolf, a startup that looks to help golfers perfect their game with the help of mobile applications and an online analytics platform, has raised $600K in angel funding. The company was part of the TechStars class of 2009, which was held in Boston.
AccelGolf offers native mobile applications for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry users. Using them is pretty straightforward: rather than jotting down your score for each hole on a piece of paper, AccelGolf's apps allow you to also record both the club you used and the terrain type (tee, rough, green, etc.) you were hitting from. The whole process only takes a few seconds, so it shouldn't slow down the speed of play much.
CEO William Sulinkski says that over time, this information can be used to help players identify what their weaknesses are, which clubs they should be using, and other key information.
