Access Your Locker Anywhere - Anytime!

Every swing matters to aboutGOLF.  We have perfected the aG Locker to  allow you to track your personal data from any geographic location - at home, via your mobile device, or at an aboutGOLF facility.

Your aG Locker keeps a history of shot data, game rounds, lessons, swing videos and events on the cloud. Simply login your online member at any aboutGOLF Simulator to keep all your data in one place.  Then view your locker at the aG Data website at agdata.aboutgolf.com or via your mobile device using the aG Locker app.

Membership in the Cloud

An online member must be created in an aboutGOLF Simulator or on your mobile device to allow access to your personal locker.  Once your online member is created, you will be able to view your data from any computer or mobile device connected to the internet. 

All online members are authenticated with a password using the global aboutGOLF Data server.  These online members are known as aG Data members. An aG Data member that is logged in has the ability to upload data from any aboutGOLF Simulator to their personal locker.  Note: Guest members do not have the ability to upload data.  

What are the benefits of an online member?

• Access to shot data, game rounds, lessons, swing videos and online events all in one place
  
• Ability to view the progression of your game over time 
  
• Upload your data from any aboutGOLF Simulator
  
• Upload additional lessons, and swing videos directly at your locker on the aG Data website
  

How do I login my online member?

• Enter your member name and password at the Member Login screen
  
• Swipe your aG Club card at any aboutGOLF Simulator that offers this feature
  
• Swipe your Sim Login code via your mobile device at any aboutGOLF Simulator that offers this feature
  

Note: If you are an aG Club card member, be sure your aboutGOLF facility assigns a password to your card.  This will allow you to login and access your personal locker at the aG Data website or via your mobile device.
