Using Android? I thought you knew that already. :)

Nope. I've never really been into electronics.

Improve your putting from 30-30,000' to reduce your score by 1,100 strokes per round.

I have stock ping rubber grips on mine. They must have a smaller butt hole because it was actually pretty tough to screw the plug in. They are so tight that they should not come out.

Let me start by saying that 1) I really like using GG and looking through the data it gives, and 2) the customer service folks at GG are very prompt, and they are looking into this problem, but don’t

There was a problem with my order so I didn't get it last week but it should arrive today.  Can't wait to give this thing a try.

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there really no 'scorecard view' that shows Score, FairwayHit, GIR, putts, for a round? The round summary gives averages (and the round-review before posting shows at least some of that data) but I can't find a way to glance back at a previous round?

One other thing I'd love to see is a way to look at per-hole performance across rounds (what is my GIR% on this hole this year? driving average? scoring average?). They have basic Par 3, par 4, par 5 scoring average stuff, but for people who play >50% of their rounds on the same home course being able to drill down and analyze particular holes would be of significant value.

I can't find one that lists everything hole-by-hole like it does when you are editing.  But you can see the total (percentage) of each of those categories on the "my rounds" page.

The biggest strength is that all the data/info is there.

The biggest weakness is that it's not fully presented.

Understandably but sadly they are busy adding thing like challenges when I think your average user who picks GameGolf up wants stats and information/feedback on their game.

You still have to use your laser/gps to judge distance to the hole?

Yes. It's not for that.

Ok thanks, it is interesting though to see distances and directions. Been checking out some (all) of the sandtrap posters rounds and all (most) of the drives I've seen, distance wise are impressive.

I'm gonna have to get a my swing thread going.

I installed everything last night and one thing that strikes me is just how it seems very outdated.  Its a minor thing but I don't remember the last time I bought a device that I had to actually plug into my computer after initial setup.  My fitbit communicates directly with my phone and uploads data automatically.  Hell even my bathroom scale reports my ever increasing weight to my fitbit account online automatically.  This also means I won't really know if its working properly until the round is over.  Again, its not a big deal, it just seems a little clunky.

I'll post a couple rounds this weekend to make you feel better. ;-)

And they probably could have built something for you that would have done that… for an extra $100 or so.

The unit has to be charged. It has to synchronize the data it has with "something." I see it as a good design choice: it's killing two birds with one stone.

Plus, the less "stuff" in it, the less chance one of those things breaks or causes problems. Design is often about simplicity, and about knowing what stuff to say no to, after all.

Bingo, this is it right here.  You should not ever find yourself in same predicament as @saevel25 , who was on the golf course the other day without his GG.  Once you have the time after your round to download the info and start editing your round, you plug it in.  Once you are done editing your round, there is a good chance that it's already finished charging and is ready for your next round.

Sign your round, unplug the device, put it in the pouch and put the pouch back in your bag for the next round.

Simple as can be.

ok, so after having played a couple of rounds now with the GG, I was wondering what you do when you play stableford and actually have to pick up the ball? how do you record that?

Simple. It's not built for that. You could delete holes you pick up or add your likely shots to finish. I'd do the latter.

Honestly I am scared of this product. I am not sure I wanted to know how crappy my game really is...

Why? I think it's a great tool and I'm downright awful. I don't think one can have too much information about their game.

I agree but sometimes it hurts to see it in black and white...

Well then good news! It's in color ;-) Seriously, if you're on the fence at all about it, I recommend getting it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
