Frédéric Guitton: How iTarget Golf Is Gamifying the Future of Driving Ranges

What if the driving range became more than just a place to hit a bucket of golf balls?

In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Frédéric Guitton, Chief Revenue Officer of iTarget Golf, to talk about golf technology, driving range innovation, sports business, and how gamification is changing the way people experience the game of golf.

This conversation is for golfers, driving range owners, golf course operators, sports entrepreneurs, families, and anyone interested in how technology can enhance sports experiences without taking away from the game itself.

Frédéric shares how iTarget Golf is helping driving ranges create a more interactive and memorable experience through LED targets, interactive bay lights, ball tracking integration, and gamified golf experiences that reward players in real time.

Instead of the traditional driving range experience where someone simply buys a bucket of balls and hits into an open field, iTarget Golf helps facilities create moments of instant feedback, competition, and entertainment. The goal is to make practice more fun, help golfers build confidence, attract new audiences, and give range owners new ways to grow their business.

We talk about the gap between traditional golf practice facilities and high-end golf entertainment venues, and why there is a huge opportunity for driving ranges to become more engaging, more visual, and more family-friendly.

Frédéric also explains several iTarget Golf products and concepts, including Night Saber, Strike Point, in-bay interactive lights, and Cash Cup Golf. Each product is designed to create a better player experience while also helping golf facilities improve customer retention, increase engagement, and create new revenue opportunities.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How iTarget Golf is gamifying the driving range experience
• Why golf technology is changing the way people practice
• How LED golf targets create instant feedback for players
• Why driving ranges need to think beyond buckets of balls
• How range owners can create better customer experiences
• The difference between traditional golf practice and golf entertainment
• Why families and casual golfers are important to the future of golf
• How driving ranges can attract a wider audience
• How gamification can help build golfer confidence
• Why technology should enhance the sports experience, not take it over
• The business side of golf facilities and revenue growth
• Affordable installation and practical implementation for range owners
• Weather, maintenance, warranty, and operational questions
• How iTarget Golf is installing systems around the world
• The future of sports technology and golf innovation

One of the biggest themes of this episode is that technology works best when it enhances the experience. Frédéric explains that the mission is not just to sell targets. It is to help create better memories, better practice sessions, better family experiences, and more opportunities for people to fall in love with golf.

Whether you are a golfer looking for a more enjoyable way to practice, a driving range owner looking to grow your business, or someone interested in the business side of sports technology, this episode offers a fascinating look at where golf entertainment is headed.
