‘Get Real Golf Stats’ founder aims to grow golf with next-level stat analysis
Josh Marris, CEO and Co-Founder of Get Real Golf Stats, has big plans for his company, with the statistical system to execute them.
Get Real Golf Stats (GRGS) is a platform that allows golfers to record their statistics in a widespread selection of categories, analyze them and compare or share their stats with friends, followers and PGA professionals. By filling in stats after or during a round through the app or website, players have access to over 200 statistics that go beyond just greens in regulation and fairways hit.
“I’ve tried other free apps and even bought apps that keep stats, but they just didn’t do everything I wanted,” Marris says. “I want to prepare myself like a PGA tour player, and [they] have access to very comprehensive stats. I grew tired of typing my stats into Excel and figuring out formulas to get my stats.”
The days of relying on Excel and self-developed formulas are over for him and other golfers with a similar desire to analyze their game. Three different memberships are offered depending on the golfers preference: a White membership, which includes two free rounds per month, a Gold membership, which is $32.99 per year and includes five rounds and increased statistical entry from White, or the Platinum, which is $99.99 per year and includes unlimited rounds and advanced entry that offers over 250 statistics per compilation.
The GRGS app does provide information on Greens in Regulation, but it isn’t your everyday GIR percentages. Do you miss short, long, left or right most often?
Why pay for a membership? Marris says that extremely thorough and instantaneous feedback from GRGS is what separates his company from the competition. Golfers now have access to the meaningful statistics that are available to the world’s best players, which could prove invaluable to golfers of all levels.
Based on its retrospective nature and interconnectivity, Marris says GRGS can become the “Facebook or Twitter of golf.” Golfers can customize their pages to include personal information, the clubs they use and the courses they play, all while connecting with other users of the system.
With endless capabilities of the platform, Marris hopes not only to improve the golf games of its users, but wants to change the game of golf for his native Australia and the world.
“We want to sponsor tournaments in Australia to provide opportunities for young Australian players,” he said. “We want to grow the game by giving it more exposure and get more people playing. We also want to duplicate that here in the States.”
With “Putts Holed by Distance,” a feature that isn’t often seen from other apps and websites, GRGS allows golfers to break down putting performance based on distance and find their weaknesses.
Marris is a PGA of Australia member with experience as both a competitive golfer and instructor, but he was frustrated with the lack of opportunity to gain the competitive experience he wanted growing up in Australia. He moved to America in order to feed his competitive fire, and now wants to help grow the game back in his home country.
Through GRGS, he will have the opportunity to do just that. Although still in its adolescence with an estimated 3,000 current users, GRGS could have tremendous staying power because of its ease of use and endless capabilities.
“Golfers can share stats with their instructor or coach, meaning between lessons they won’t skip a beat,” Marris says. “It’s also a great recruiting tool. I had a young junior from Australia who was able to share his stats from more than 30 rounds during the recruiting process.”
GRGS can also be used to fuel competition between any group of golfers with a ranking system that ranks users in any category selected. This is also useful for high school or college teams, where the coach needs to make a decision on what players travel to tournaments and matches, or for other coaching purposes. The ranking feature is available on the website, and will be available for the iPad in the near future.
Players can get in-depth feedback about their own game, compare side-by-side to another player and see how they match up with friends, teammates or pros.
Another feature that will prove useful to golfers is the ability to track clubs and distance. By entering what club the player used, from how far and the shot results, players can track their tendencies from each yardage range with every club in the bag. This takes all the guess work out of identifying weaknesses and strengths, allowing players to more quickly begin working on a solution.
Golfers can also filter their rounds by particular course, most recent rounds, their last 5, 10, 20 rounds etc., or even more specific specifications such as morning or afternoon rounds, or breezy versus calm conditions. This provides tremendous feedback on personal trends based on conditions, time of the year and even time of the day.
Spend some time on GRGS’ website and you’ll realize it has the technology and the aptitude to justify Marris’ noble goals.
“What you need to know is our mission.” Marris says. “The reason I came to the States is that there just wasn’t enough opportunity to play in Australia. With what we’re doing here now, I want to change the game of golf for the better.”

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Price point is horrendous. No one who would use this is a “casual” golfer and I do not know any non-casual golfers who would only play 2 to 5 rounds a month. The plans should also be based on tee boxes for better marketability:
White Tees Membership: 2-3 rounds a month for free (like a trial)
Blue Tees Membership: 12 rounds a month for 29.99 /yr
Champion Tees Membership: unlimited for $100-150 per year
you stratify the market into trial, serious golfers and wanna be pros
the problem is that the main group of golfers that would use this are people on this website, and very few that would use this service play only 5 rounds a month and even fewer would pay 100 for this app

There are no videos on their site,
No way to know how say it is to put the data in or not.

I’ve tried it out last weekend and it is okay but there are too many taps involved to enter all the data. They could do a lot better than that.
Regarding the price, yes I don’t know what they smoked when they came up with the price, with that price tag they will shut out most club golfers. If their target is only wanne be Pros (Pros use a tailored service that is more expensive than that) then fine but I think they are missing the point, especially if they dream of becoming the Facebook of golf (LOL)

You are saying that you are willing to grow the game of golf. But at the same time you are making this app out of reach for most golf players in the world, because of a price. Its all about the money as always. Stop that altruistic bull….t.
In my opinion most of golf player would buy a new putter for 100$ if their putting sucks, but not an app for such a big price.

Sounds like they need to tie up with GameGolf’s technology to reduce input of where misses occurred but provide the level of output/analysis as above.

To tell you the truth I would rather use gamegolf for 150 more and then I can use it forever and have way less data inputs.
now if only game golf could make their gps a little more accurate…

Too expensive. A service like this is worth no more than $5 a month for unlimited use. I would pay $29.99 a year, in advance, for something like this, but no way am I paying $95.00, and I’m a serious tournament player — the kind of person this service would help.
Another issue is the putting stats. It’s just too tough to continuously estimate putting distances. On tour they have ShotLink, which is exact. Most golfers grossly underestimate the length of their putts, and I fear that the putting stats on this thing would be misleading because of that fact.
That said: Bring down the price, and I think you’ll get lots of people to try it out.

Yahhhhhh I’ll stick with something that isn’t so expensive. Thanks though.
