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.

To quote my playing partner who I met on the course as we were walking off the 18th, "I'm sure I'll see you around. You don't seem like you've got enough sense to quit."

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.

 

Edited: the site is back up, for now

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
