How to use TrackMan in Badgie: import, bag, ranking, challenges and tests

Quick answer

Badgie imports each student's TrackMan sessions and turns them into their measured bag (average carry per club and gaps between clubs), their progress, their shot dispersion and a comparison with PGA Tour averages. The academy connects its TrackMan account once, links each TrackMan profile to its student, and from then on Badgie imports their new sessions every hour.

Connecting TrackMan

  1. Open Import sessions (or How to connect).
  2. Download the connector extension (Download the extension (.zip)), unzip it and load it in Chrome from chrome://extensions with developer mode turned on.
  3. Open TrackMan as Coach, click the extension icon and confirm the account and the destination school.
  4. In Badgie, review the activities, choose the student for each one and confirm the import.
  5. Link each TrackMan profile to its student (Link). From then on their new sessions come in on their own every hour; Import linked sessions speeds it up.

If you can't use the extension, Advanced options: connect with a token lets you paste the token from your TrackMan portal. And for a one-off session you can paste the link to a TrackMan report or upload a photo or PDF of the report (see the guide on reading by photo or PDF).

What the student sees

In the app, the student sees their measured bag: the real distance of each club based on their linked TrackMan sessions. Their data can also go into their golf report.

With the AI agent

The Badgie agent looks up the TrackMan data of a linked student (get_trackman_player): average carry per club, gaps between clubs, number of sessions and the detail of a session.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to import every session by hand?

No. Once the TrackMan profile is linked to its student, Badgie imports their new sessions every hour.

Why does a student have no data?

Almost always because their TrackMan profile isn't linked yet. Check it in Import sessions.

What if my academy uses Foresight or FlightScope?

Upload a photo or PDF of the report from the student's Import tab: the AI reads the metrics for each club.

Can I set aside sessions I don't want to count?

Yes: archive them. They stop counting in the statistics and you can recover them from Archived.
