Is the app giving anyone else issues with notifications? I get the notifications but they are not updated in the app and won't go to the golfer with the notification.


I disabled a bunch of the notifications. They didn't seem to clear out from the app (the badge) unless I did it in the app; doing it on the website didn't propagate the changes to the app.

I set them to be sent mobile and I get the notification but it takes me to the notifications in the app and they are not updated, nor do they have the individual from the round posted listed. Must be a glitch on my end I guess.

I made changes online and apparently turning off the email notifications also shuts off the app notification updates. I turned them back on and started working again.

I just missed the "lightning deal". I guess I'll just have to wait for the Cyber Monday deals?

$119 was a pretty nice deal!

Sorry, after I posted this I went back to amazon and it was finished.

$120 + tax, I got it yesterday at 5:35 pm.  When you go to today's deals on Amazon > lightning deals, you can click on the > arrow on the right and see all the upcoming deals for the day and the time they start.

I set the alarm on my iPhone for 5:30 pm - got on Amazon and got the deal.

Nice. I wish I had seen this at 2:35pm my time. PST really sucks when you have timed sales like this. The only thing worse is voting in Hawaii.

Just got this as a gift -

Can this be used at all, in any way, on a course that is not in their system - or do you just have to wait and hope for that course (after requesting it on their website) - or only try it out on registered courses?

What course?

If you email them they are pretty quick about adding the course. They just use existing GPS maps, I believe.

If your course isn't mapped, please request it at the link above (click "Request a Course" on the top right hand side of the page) and our mapping team will have your course ready for play in 2-4 weeks. You will be notified by email when your course is ready.

Thanks I know they say they will add courses on request - I mentioned that in my post - but the question is - does this do anything at all for me right now, WITHOUT a course to find?

Where do you live? I'm in a more or less rural area 30 mins outside of Montréal and they seem to have all the courses around me mapped including the executive 9-hole which isn't even a rated course. The have a surprisingly large library already and I'd be surprised if none of the courses in your area are mapped.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

You're right. Sorry. I skim too much sometimes. I haven't encountered an unmapped course. I'd bet it doesn't really work. I wonder if you could map the shots and just wait until the course is added to sign the round. Can't hurt to try it. Can you report back after you play?

Thanks Ernest - but I didn't say NONE of the courses in our area are mapped.  Here's what I DID say -

Quote:

There are tons of other courses listed -- just not ours.  Esplanade Country Club, Lakewood Ranch, Florida.  MIA probably because it's a relatively new course.

Erik - I haven't installed the ends yet or registered or anything since I knew it wasn't going to be of much use for the moment.  I could try it, but I'm just not sure what I'd be trying since it wouldn't know if I hit left, right, straight or even what par is on any given hole.

The first course on my 2015 schedule I'll play that's probably mapped is Innisbrook, Copperhead Course.  But that's a tournament and these might not be legal (not sure).  Meanwhile maybe we'll be compelled to go elsewhere and play just to try it out.  :-)

They're legal. I've seen players using them during PGA Tour events. Graeme McDowell is a part owner I believe.

You're right about not knowing whether it's left, right, etc. but… I would still email them to ask. At the end of the day it's just marking a position in GPS. When the course is added, perhaps they can assign the round you "mapped" to that course, and with a little editing, voilà, you can sign your round and get stats.

I used mine in a tournament after i asked my tour director and he said it was fine.Also Graehm Mcdowell used his during US open in the second round so yes its legal for use.There is one thats out that gives you instant feedback while you play and im not sure that it will be legal since you can find out info as you play.Think its that arrcos gadget.

    • @StuM when I called the course a couple of months ago they said you can mention that you want to add an extra night to the hotel when you book the package through them and the people who are in charge of the stay and play can handle it, did you ask them about that?
    • Though start, bad design. For me.. I would tee it up and hit the biggest club face in the bag that don't airmail the green. Also hit a fade that is a lot easier for me to hit up on the air. 180/190.. it should be a high cut with 3 Wood with a tee 1 inch above the turf.  
    • I'm on the side of thinking that something is not right here and should be reviewed. Let say that their course rating is pretty low, so their index is higher than it should be. But if they always play at their home course they are probably going to play bad away from home so it should even that advantage out or at least lower it down.  Also you can say that they are amazing players under pressure and very skilled in match play format, but at the end of the day variance and luck is always going to play a big role between 2 players of similar handicap. Let's assume that player A have 75% chance of winning a match over player B that only have 25%, there is no way that a player's skill in match play can make such a difference in a match outcome but I prefer to use a number that is hard to argue. (For me.. 60/40, or 65/35 at most) The odds of winning 21 straight matches with that  generous odds are less than 1% (or 1 in 420). Is this proof that they are "cheating" or something, of course not but is evidence enough to note that something is not right and should be reviewed further.     
    • UPDATE.....Please read We still have time to add more golfers to both days, June 1st & June 2nd At this time he have reservations for 20 golfers on each day At this time we have 17 for Saturday at EagleSticks - Room for 3 more At this time we have 16 for Sunday at the Virtures - Room for 4 more Please post ASAP if interested. I need to give a more final count May 17th. They will accommodate a fluke last minute change but lets try to iron this out to they can sell tee-times if we do not need them. It will also be hard to add tee times. COST: If you are golfing both rounds AND staying in the "Stay & Play" hotel the cost is $252 This includes Golf on Saturday & Sunday and Saturday night in the hotel (See below for hotel info.) If you want the "Stay & Play" I need to arrange that. If you ARE NOT staying in the hotel the cost is as follows: Sat. June 1st @ EagleSticks = $80 Sun. June 2nd @ Virtues = $120 You will notice the "Stay & Play" deal is hotel for only $52 extra which is a great deal.  If you want in on that let me know! Saturday tee times are: 10:15, 10:24, 10:33, 10:42 and 10:51 I will try to get those spending Friday Night in the hotel in the early groups to allow others more time to drive in. Sunday tee times are 9:00 9:09, 9:18, 9:27am and 9:36 Saturday after the round we will have an area at EagleSticks to gather for prizes, food & drink.   Sunday after the round is currently un-planned If we can guarantee 16 we can reserve a small room but there would be a hard charge @ $20 per head at the Virtues and we would have a simple buffet Likely we just grab a beer a dog and a table as available. Let me know if you think a more formal plan for Sunday after the round is needed. The "Stay & Play" hotel has changed Double Tree in Newark 50 North 2nd Street Newark, OH 43055 740-322-6455 If you need a hotel for either Friday or Sunday nights you will need to book on your own. I was give an estimate of @ $249 for the Double Tree and do not know if there are better offers elsewhere. I will be arriving Friday, hoping for mid-late afternoon and would love to meet up for dinner with any that are in town. Time & Location TBD Below are the names & have confirmed: Would really love to get more golfers.  Reply if interested.  Time is running down. Below is updated with best information I have. PLEASE add/delete your tag as necessary.
