Lots of discussion at THP that Gamegolf might be shut down.

They are not.

Silicone, boys. It’s not just for bathrooms and bimbos anymore.

It’s all my fault. I got GG last year. I have the habit of putting electronics companies out of business. My wife and I put, in no particular order, Leiser Sound, Lechmere, Circuit City, Radio Shack a

You must have some insight because they are certainly acting like it.

I think so? I first tried to log in unsuccessfully on Saturday, but someone else had mentioned not being able to get in on Friday.

I gave up on GG - switched to Arccos.  Not without its problems but I think a lot more stable as a company.

Ditto. I switched over last October. (It's not anywhere perfect, though, as you mentioned--having some problems with Apple Watch function not working, app stopping mid round.  I may just go back to using GolfShot.)

I have not been able to log in for a week and a half now, and no response to emails to the addresses I have.  Getting a little discouraged.  For all of the issues I have had from time to time, I still like it.

I thought GG was fantastic.  I have/had over 300 rounds on it and it really helped me focus my practice.  I wish someone (Arccos/Garmin) would buy them.

Seriously, do I need to fix this for them.

Do we need to start a GoFundMe page or something?

It’s not a difficult fix. They probably haven’t paid the vendor or something.

Then option B?

I would be willing to pay an annual subscription for the service. $25-$30 per year to fund their operations as well as enhancements.

Dave and I have been taking them that for five to six years.

The best they could come up with was to steak our caddie implementation and to try to market that.

You could have 2 tiers. A lower tier for plain usage and the plus service that has the virtual caddie.

Honestly if I had to pay a subscription at this point I'd probably just pay somebody else who is offering data outputs that I wanted from Game Golf for years. Other than the strokes gained stuff, everything they've done since I first bought my unit has been stuff that I wasn't interested in (Game Golf Live features, Game Golf Pro) and has shown me they want their product to be something different than what I want it to be. Now with the on and off issues with their database... it may be time to break up.

I don't think everyone would jump in on this, but there are a lot of people who now have a paperweight unless  some money comes in their door.

And I'd be one of them, but I've gotten my money's worth out of the device, so I'm not upset about it.

Not me. I just upgraded to Live last year. It is what it is, but it gives me what I'm looking for, the ability to lament over my crappy rounds and see that my driver gets shorter every year.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
