A third generation golfer and born in England, Joe grew up playing with his Dad at Hoylake Golf Club. After developing music and playing in a band that toured throughout Europe (stories included), he took skills used in production to start building software at Monterosa for simultaneous interaction for things like sporting events and live shows.

We discuss IMG's work in Tennis, which transfers live, low latency data, to receive highly accurate updates of what's happening in real time. Joe has been working on applying the same principles to professional golf. The challenge? Tennis is played in fixed dimensions, and golf is the Wild West.

Among others, we also get into some golf history, as Joe explores his findings through the 3D modeling done by his team which includes Sam Cooper (now a member of Clayton DeVries & Pont), and Evalu18 (a group that evaluates great UK and Irish golf from a golf course architecture and historical perspective).

And when I asked Joe prior to an interview about what his focus was, he replied:

"..... I just want to make.... remarkable....stuff"

And that's someone worth chasing after.

Thanks, Joe for being with us. 
Hope everyone has a great week ahead. 
See you next time,
