This wouldn't work for me, as I only wear my glove on shots I hit with driver, fairway woods, or sometimes hybrid. 

For those who find a GPS watch uncomfortable this may be a solution. 
What do you guys think? …  Gimmick? … or Genius?

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

IMO, if it only fits on the manufactures gloves, then many users may not be interested.
The screen readout is small and will be difficult to view by those with poor vision.
The position makes it cumbersome to read, would be better if rotated.
I personally do not use a watch, prefer other devices.

Not really a Genius idea, but some may like it.

Now, if they could improve on this so that the ball had GPS, too.  Causing the ball to hone in on the flag... + or - 3 yards.  I'll take 9 foot birdie putts every time.  😀

Seriously? It's in the same orientation as a watch. If somebody said "Hey, look at the back of your hand." Its oriented exactly as you would look at it.

Not for me. I like the functions my Garmin unit has. Plus, I don't wear a glove.

If I get another distance measuring device it will be a rangefinder.

Marketing at it’s best.  A great way to force people to buy what appears to be very mediocre golf gloves...

One size fits all?!  :doh:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Nah, I wouldn't buy this. Waste of time and money for me. 

I already carry a Logix gps unit, and a lazer range finder. In my bag. I very seldom use these as it is. 

I do wear two gloves, and the index pointer part in each glove  works quite well. As in "your ball is over there", or "hit your ball that way". 😋

I use ZeroFriction golf gloves.  They are my go to glove as they are the best compression golf gloves that I have found on the market.  If you have issues with your fingers/hands I highly suggest giving these gloves a try.

I wear them on both hands and keep them on during the entire round.  I normally wear size XL in leather golf gloves.

I have had some wear issues with ZeroFriction from time to time I feel those instances make up for how my hands feel after a round using other gloves.

I do not use the GPS glove.  I like my Garmin G8.

Pairs with a smartphone to work?  I already have 3 free apps on my smartphone that will give me GPS distance.

I don't think I would be interested in this device. Seems like a solution for a problem that didn't exist.

I wear a GPS watch but I hate wearing a watch so I am planning to ditch it, and planning to ditch my glove too.

My idea is to simplify a bit and just rely on my rangefinder for distances.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
