Hi Guys,

I have seen a few very interesting posts about GameGolf; reviews, the rounds posted by members etc. It looks like a great product.

I would love to hear how you have taken that data to improve your game? Has this opened your eyes to weaknesses that weren't glaringly obvious beforehand? It seems like it has potential to provide a lot more stats with the data it captures so maybe the analysis side will improve in the future, I think it would be cool if the software automatically pointed you to your biggest weakness and maybe tailored a plan for improvement based on your personal stats.

Thanks

It's not hard to figure out from the current stats what you need to work on once you have posted a good few rounds, also helps you confirm which clubs you hit consistently well and others you don't, which may make you swop out a club or two, or practise more with certain clubs, then there's obviously your distance gaps and yardages, plus it's sometimes good to look back at a game you played well, or a really nice course you don't play often! It's a great bit of kit which now the weather is turning here, I plan to use regularly and plan the odd lesson around the insight I recieve from it!

I only have 36 holes so far but what I've noticed is I don't hit my driver as far as I thought (maybe some of that is because it's been cold and a little windy but not all of it). I also don't spray it as much as I thought either. I miss about a quarter of the time each way and am in the fairway the other half of the time. I think it will be very useful once I get 10-15 rounds and I get to see a clear picture of what I do with each club.

After only a couple rounds like @Jakester23 , I am really surprised at how short I hit my driver ... Most of my misses I am aware of, so nothing new there. Wished it tracked the number of steps I get by walking back to where I hit to record my last shot ... I always forget as simple as it is to "tag" the shot ... :bugout:

This is exactly why I stopped using the app. As easy as it is to tag each shot, I would just constantly forget to do it. I was spending more time going back to do it or just skipping the tags altogether.

I'm playing golf in the morning. I'm going to give Game Golf another shot. I'll do my best to remember to tag every shot and post the results afterward.

It takes a couple of rounds to get used to "tagging," but I am getting better. Its really easy and it has a function that some how figures out you may have missed a shot ... Granted it is a gadget, but I have enjoyed reviewing my rounds to-date. I wished it had an overlay component, to compare rounds on the same course. Edit: Just found this on missed shots: [QUOTE]The GAME GOLF tracking device is able to automatically detect most swings taken from outside the green, based on the motion of your hips. This means that if you forget to tag a shot during the round, in most cases GAME GOLF can show where you took the swing and simply prompt you to assign a club to that shot. When reviewing your round, each detected shot will be highlighted in the shot panel and displayed on the hole map as an orange diamond. You will need to either assign a club to or delete any extraneous detected shots. However, if you are certain that you tagged every shot, you can hide all detected shots and sign the round without them.[/QUOTE]

Are you using the hardware unit or tagging on your phone?

I tag whenever I first pull the club out of the bag. Sometimes I forget whether I tagged, so I tag again - better to have to just hit "delete shot" than to "add shot."

It's a much bigger pain on the phone, but on the belt unit… meh. It's nothing. You should get used to it very quickly.

I didn't buy the hardware version. It was never on my radar. I only found out about the system bc of this forum. I use the app. I initially remember to tag each shot with my phone in the early part of the round, but as I get focused on golf, I forget to pull out my phone, especially on the greens.

You dont have to walk back. U can hit edit, add tee shot. Lots of good stuff in there. Im still learning it. And yes, amazing how i drive longer than most i play with, but now know i avg only 220. Been working on it all week now that i know its so short

Well I've just looked at my results and the most important thing in insights and then "approach the green" is selecting last 5 rounds and looking at approach shots from fairway and rough <100 yards and >100 yards. Seems like my dispersion left and right is good for <100 yards, but distance isn't, and it's the opposite for >100 yards.

Need to aim a bit better with the longer clubs and take wind, lie and slope into account more.

Need to concentrate on club speed more with shorter shots, line seems to look after itself.

I have only used the device for two rounds but I have noticed that I have not had any issue integrating the tagging into to pre-shot routine.

In regards to how to use this data to improve.  I think we all overestimate our games a bit, and having rounds and rounds of shots and knowing the real distance to each club not just that one time you hit a 200 yard 6 iron will help my better gameplan and think my way around courses.

I already clubbed up a few times and it had lead to more shots that actually get to back pins.  This device coupled with a laser rangefinder can help anyone's game.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
