I borrowed a friend's Callaway uPro, and I was going to try to load a course on it. The problem is that the only software I can find on the website is a Windows .exe file. However, for reasons I won't go into here, I switched my home computer to Ubuntu.

I can't seem to find anything about it on their website, but I know there are quite a few GPS users on these forums, and many Mac users, so I'm hoping someone knows something. Short of setting up a dual boot at home, or attempting to use the software with Wine, does anyone know of any ways to load courses onto the uPro from a computer that isn't running Windows?

As an alternative, I can use the Windows at my office computer, and load from there, so it's not the end of the world if no one can help me. Thanks in advance.

According to the uPro website ( link ), it is compatable with Mac OS 10.4 or newer. Also, it says that you don't need to install any additional software or drivers. Have you tried just plugging the uPro into your Mac?

Don't know specifically, but google searches come up pretty empty. From my experience with vaguely similar electronics, I think the answer is likely to be no. You could try plugging it in and see whether it shows up under linux at all---if it happens to mount as a USB storage device, then maybe you could figure out how things are laid out and work it that way. That's how iPods and similar devices work, so there's some hope, but I think that's a touch unlikely. Your best bet is probably Wine. That sort of application tends to work pretty well under emulation and IIRC Wine is dead easy to set up under Ubuntu these days.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H

Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW

Greetings from another Unix/Linux person. You could try using Wine as you mentioned, but it is pretty hit/miss with Windows apps from my experience. If the application is older, then you have a more likely chance of getting it to work properly but it is worth giving it a shot. I've been successful getting it to work with some legacy apps. Probably the VM approach would likely work better, but then you still need a copy of Windows, which may defeat the purpose for you based upon your original post.

Unfortunately the world doesn't recognize us Unix folks as being of a large enough market size to make it worthwhile to port apps to our platforms.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
