And now the tough one to ask.  It's been so long since I tried to pair my GGLive with a phone that my current phone (about 25 months old) has never been paired with it.  It isn't clear to me how to make my GGLive discoverable for it and the support site is down.  Anyone know how to connect the two?  I think I missed something when searching (I might be a doofus here)

 

The answer is, post the question to TST and your phone will immediately find it.

Let's keep this to GG talk, please.

If people want to talk about another system, please do… in its own topic. The odds of someone finding ten posts about some other system in this topic are slim to none.

@iacas raised a good point earlier - one of the reasons I love GG, and keep using it despite its glitches, is that the app is (IMO) really good.  Its visualizations are nice, very simple to read, and it gives me an idea of both yardage and where not to hit.  When I walk up to the tee on a course I haven't played before (or, for Erik, one I've played only 25 times or so, since I don't pay attention), I take out my phone and get an instant visual and pick my landing spot in seconds.

Also, if I hit an errant shot or one that I'm not sure where it landed, I'll use it to instantly figure out the probable landing spot based on distance.

Honestly, I haven't looked at my GG stats in a while to "educate" my game.  My primary use of it, at this point, is as a little fun map of interesting, famous, or memorable holes that I've played.

Like the par-3 17th at Raynor's Fox Chapel, where you can actually see the swale in the biarritz green from the satellite image! (and, yeah, I parred that sh*t)

Or, like this mildly famous hole (yeah, I parred that sh*t too!)

While there are other apps that do this, I haven't seen one that does everything I need as well without requiring me to wear a watch while playing (which I'll never do).

So, for me, at least, Game Golf will continue to be my "golf memory collector" until it stops working completely.

Okay, it appears it didn't pair.  It found it, but wasn't in pairing mode?  Is there some different pairing mode for it I'm not aware of?  I can't seem to find that anywhere accessible (I have a guess where it might be).  Holding the on-button when turning it on only seems to turn it off quickly.

I saw that there is going to be "another" Game Golf, Game Golf KZN.   It's a subscription model to be launched in March 2023.   

I've moved on and will never look back.

I imagine that is going to be a common reaction of existing customers.

I mean, their site is still pitching/promoting/selling the stupid "Pro."

I don't get it.

    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
