In the game of golf, the pressure (or force) with which the golfer grips the golf club is an important factor that affects overall results.

To solve this problem, Microsoft technology partner Sensoria, Inc., professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, the Microsoft Developer and Evangelism team, and other golf partners recently collaborated to build a new high-tech IoT solution involving a smart, connected golf grip.

The data is then rendered for golfer on a Microsoft Surface with an elegant Universal Windows Platform Application.
