GAME GOLF - Digital Tracking System

[Dave2512]

Yes I did, GG acknowledged it was a bug and they were going to fix it. Just curious if anyone else had noticed anything else with the reports. Even my totals are off, on one screen one of my clubs distance says 212 the other screen it says 204, same timespan, same number of rounds.

I have seen slight discrepancies moving through different reporting features. My round numbers might be a yard or two different from club reporting, what showed on the dashboard for longest drive was 4 yards shorter than what the tagged shot showed in the round.

The mapping it close but not perfect. A ball in the fairway might show 2 yds off right edge when I am certain I was standing on short grass with some to spare. But it goes both ways a ball in the rough show 12 yds right of center and in the fairway on other holes. For me not a huge issue more concerned with the % left/right big picture numbers not the hair splitting stuff. Getting all those near misses in the right spot for reporting wouldn't take the red dots off there and while those little discrepancies are in the tally there are holes I play where I intentionally play away from the fairway so I don't use it as a way to decide what I should work on.

Quick question for you experts.. How exactly do you deal with tee shots or any other shots that you hit OB?

Just hit your drop and add the appropriate number of strokes to your shot when you edit (+1 for just the drop, +2 for stroke and distance).

I thought I remember that I couldn't add more than 1 penalty stroke to any one shot... Is that not the case?

When you add a penalty to you shot it gives you the option of +1 or +2.

Thanks.. I'll try it tomorrow I'm sure I'll have an OB

I am thinking about purchasing it. But I have my doubts.

I wonder what it will do for my golf game besides tracking my scores and hits. It won't lower my hcp. I do not understand why it could help lowering my hcp. I feel it is a very usefull tool for the low hcp players. Am I correct?

I think it can help you realize where and how you lose strokes if you pay some attention to it. It makes actually keeping those stats fairly easy.

[Dave2512]

It definitely will paint an accurate picture of how often and where you hit your miss. For me knowing exactly what my club averages are helps me make choices on the course.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you, but am still planning on getting one. Not sure how exactly it will help, but it's worth it if easily keeps track of my stats.

Just waiting for the after Christmas type sales and a store that still has one. . .

Will do.  Won't be until after Christmas.

I'm helping my wife out and gift wrapping recent purchases and telling her, "here are some gifts you can give me for Christmas".  When I unwrap them she's the one that gets the surprise.  Maybe it's kind of a silly routine but this way it's less likely she'll buy me things I don't really want.  She'll still buy me a few items.

I think it might help me lower my handicap.  Say I discover I average a lot less distance than I thought.  For example, 110yd average on my 7 iron!... I know I can hit that club 145 to 150, I must hit it fat and/or off the toe much more than I thought.  This might point me towards focusing my attention to working on finding the sweet spot as opposed to working on improving my swing speed.

Regardless, I think it will be fun to look over my round details.

You can still make an account and set your bag and stuff before you get the unit.

I have numerous questions, I'm really getting into the Game Golf capabilities.

1. Went out today with both a Classic & Live. Tagged both units. It started to rain, went back out an hour later. Turned both units off then back on. Got home to upload to computer and both showed two rounds played. One round with only the first hole and then the other round of the rest of the holes. So, I'm guessing, don't turn the off.

2. I was using my wife's IPad, I have set her up as a user. Couldn't log out of her account and log into my account on IPad?

3. Using the IPad, on start up, the "Red Start Round" is below the screen area, tried to scroll to launch round, but screen would rebound up. Finally got the round to start after several attempts.

4. Similar problem when viewing distance to green, screen tap shows yardage at the top of the screen which is partially hidden.

5. Can units handle 36 holes (battery life)?

Santa's bringing me an IPhone, I'll be Live on my own soon..... Woo Whoo.
