Help !!!

I purchased Golfshot GPS last spring and its worked fine up until a few weeks ago. Since then, now when I turn on, it locates the couse I am playing ok

but then when I go to hole I am playing, it stays stuck with "Acquiring Sat." showing up top and I do not get yardage. Has anyone else had this problem and know a fix?

I am using on my 3GS. Thanks

I stopped using it a while back. Moved over to MyCaddie Pro and then Mobitee.

I've been using Golfshot GPS for practice rounds for a while and I think it's great. The only problem I have with it is that its not legal for comp use at my club because it's an IPhone which breaks 2 rules:

1. You aren't allowed to have a mobile phone switched on the course at my club although many people bend this rule.

2. Despite the Golfshot GPS app being conforming in what it does, IPhone's strictly speaking are non conforming for other reasons because they have Compass, access to weather apps and even spirit level type apps... even if you don't use these app's you theoretically could do so you are potentially in breach of rule 14.3. Or at least that's my interpretation and seems to be the generally accepted interpretation of that rule at my club.

I've been using golfshot on iPhone 4 for the last 4 months. Wonderful app. It instantly finds whatever course you happen to be playing, has all the tracking you'd ever want. One kind of cool thing is that you can tell it how far you hit certain clubs in your bag and it will figure out layup distances for you as well. What really sold me on it is that it is not a subscription model. You buy the app once and you're done. You get access to all the courses in the database. One last cool thing. It has an automatic handicap calculator. For playing partners who don't keep proper handicaps, this has proved really useful. They guess their original handicap and then, as they play rounds recorded in golfshot, it updates their index based on this data. It also competes net scores automatically so if you want to have a competition based on net scores under stroke play, it's a breeze.

    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
    • Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂
