TST Explores GAME Golf

I take it you have one then?

Got the app that does it for free haha. Once I get on the course and try it a few times, I'll decide whether the convenience is worth buying the unit.

Kind of funny to look at the total yardage it takes to finish a hole. Last night my ball traveled 445 yards to finish a 372 yard par 4. Missed a green a little further than pin high and found the ball sitting down in a spot where it looks like a mower blade grounded out last year and the bare spots were uneven. But since they haven't started mowing yet and the grass is starting to grow it settled into a little crater. Caught it thin trying to punch it because it had to clear the longer grass growing in the center of this ring shaped scab and it scurried of the other side traveling 42 yards. The chip back was 12 yards and it doesn't record the distance of putts so it was a tad further than the 445. Putt was about 7 feet or so.

My GG fell off my belt on Friday. Luckily, the grounds crew found it on Saturday. So with that, does anyone have a solution for the crappy belt clip?

It's never come close to falling off on my belt(s). Where do you put it? How did you bump it off?

Belt clip is fine IMO.

Yeah, that is one thing that I've had no trouble with at all.  The thing has never budged or even wiggled on my belts.

I never had a problem with it, either. [Rule] Game Golf had the scorecard wrong at the last course I played (par 4s labeled as par 3s, and vice versa). I emailed them the correct information and they fixed the problem in less than 24 hours. Oddly enough, nobody who played the course before me thought to do this.

[Dave2512]

Yeah they are quick with support. Which unfortunately comes up a lot. They are probably getting burned out on me.

[PhraseUniverse]

It was on my belt, on the left side. On the GG forums, this is a common problem actually. Many people reported the device falling off, or the clip breaking entirely.

I ended up ordering a smartphone belt pouch that has a better clip. If that doesn't work, I'll just keep it on my pocket.

[kpaulhus]

I attach mine to my pocket so it sits lower than my waist. Hasn't moved yet.

[Dave2512]

Same left pocket. Butt of the club is near there so it made sense to me. Barely move my arm to tap.

Haven't had a problem with the belt unit but I've noticing the tags have gotten quite a bit of wear from rubbing the bottom of the bag after only a couple of weeks. Has anyone come up with a way to protect them so the numbers don't eventually rub off?

I downloaded the Android GG app a week or two ago and brought up my home course.  I immediately noticed two errors as far as where the proper tee boxes were.  One was about 40 yards off and another was about 100+ yards off and from another hole.  I was really sick that day and finally came out of it at 2:00 am.  I emailed GG and got a reply back in less than a hour.  They must work some weird hours.  I sent a scorecard with the hole layouts and it was fixed in a few hours after emailing it to them.  I mentioned that I have not used the actual GG unit and he wanted to let him know when I had a round in.  Well, I finally used the unit for the first time a couple of days ago.  It also was the first time out this year.  If my GG unit had a brain it would be thinking that its owner stinks. I lit the board up with some horrendous shots.  It can only get better I hope.  I only forgot to tap it on a few greens.  One of them I walked to the spots and tapped them.  It happened to be a 3 putt hole.  After I uploaded the round and worked my way through the edits (two holes), I noticed some things were a little off.  Where I remember hitting some shots is not where they showed on the overhead map.  I don't know if some kind of correction is in order for this course.  I'm the guinea pig because nobody else has played a round on GG at this venue.  It was overcast that day so I'm not sure if that could be doing things or not.  I will try it again to see if it gets a better read on things before emailing the guy at GG.

I kept checking from time to time in case it slipped off my belt.  I was walking that day but I could see it possibly coming loose getting in and out of a cart.  I snapped the plastic holder on my GPS doing the same thing.

Oh no, grip covers!

Isn't the number on the club?

Overcast can lead to less accurate GPS, I believe.

I've noticed that I have to make more adjustments on overcast days.

Even my phone loses track of where I am when I use the GPS for driving on days like that.

An interesting thing happened today. I played nine holes and one of the holes borders the other course on the property. It split my round in three with one of the holes on the bordering course and then picked back up a new round on the last 2 holes.

Edit: I didn't hit one OB onto the other course.

Had a similar thing happen once. Warm up area is right next to 10th tee and it registered one shot as a tee shot on 10 and it recorded me as playing 19 holes that day. Easily editable once you realize what happened but at first it looked like it only recorded one tee shot all day and nothing else. I was panicked for a second.
