You probably play the same course frequently, too. I do it a few minutes before.

Today at Mid-Pines it took about two minutes. But at Mid-South (after we played Talamore in the morning), it took literally 15 seconds.

If you change areas, it has to do more work. But that's why I said the first thing.

I also didn't load anything on my phone when I traveled. Not that you had to with GAME Golf, either. And with GG you only got blinking lights to let you know if you were on the course and GPS locked. This at least tells you on the screen.

I've gotten where I turn it on when I start warming up or even sometimes as I arrive at the course. The battery life is good enough that I don't worry about it running out of juice. Like I said not really a big deal, it just took some getting used to, because I normally just turned them on as I arrived at the tee box.

Game Golf wouldn’t get the GPS right away if I turned it on at the tee box, either. So I guess I’m just saying I’m used to it. I turn all my GPS devices on a few minutes before I get to the box.

This is what I do.   I have a Phantom and the H4.   When I get out of the car, I turn on both devices and I've never had an issue.    I've played 10 different course w/o incident.   Although today, because I was rushing out to play a round from Golfnow, I left the H4 at home!

Mine arrived today. The extra 15 percent off was a nice perk. The delivery time didn't seem to bad. Now I'm anxious to get out there and play.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I also never got an email with tracking info.  I went to my mailbox today on a whim (I almost never go unless I'm out walking anyway, as it's mostly junk mail, and it's a block away) and it was there.

I'm playing tomorrow, so I won't be installing it until afterward.  Maybe I should take it as a GPS anyway.

I ordered Jun 30 and got an email July 4 saying it was accepted and processed for shipping.

The box is smaller than I thought it would be.

You inspired me to go down to my mailbox on the ground floor of my apartment building and guess what I found

So I plug it in (to charge) and the screen immediately says to connect to app.  

I am not super fond of the charger, but I hope there's a good reason for it.  It's certainly better than the piece of my GG that broke off after a year that I kept on via tape.

So, I'm not sure if this is what it's supposed to look like but i joined the leaderboard but don't see anything when I scroll through the tabs.Screenshot_20220709-213002.pngScreenshot_20220709-213007.png

Maybe it’s because you don’t have any data?

It's likely so that the device can remain waterproof. That's probably also a big reason why they didn't add a little speaker for any audible clicks or beeps or something. (Because those things are pretty inexpensive.)

Almost surely.

Also got mine, was waiting in the mailbox when we got home from vacation yesterday.  Spent the night setting things up, hopefully will have a chance to test things out soon.

I joined the leaderboard as well, and also can't see anything on the mobile app, so I'm assuming it's because I haven't played yet.

I just finished screwing all the tags into each of my clubs and setting up the My Bag section...just to make sure I'm not missing something silly, there isn't any step to actually sync each tag to the device right?  When I actually get onto the course, the tags are already synced and ready to go?

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
