TST Explores GAME Golf


Recommended Posts

Do those who have Game Golf use the system for each round or selectively?  Obviously if one is practicing, one would not want the practice to "contaminate" the data.  I can also see that rounds played in unusual conditions (heavy rain, cold, wind) or off season might not be recorded.

So if one has the Game Golf system and do not record most rounds played, why?

I will use it when I'm playing unless I forget the unit at home or the battery runs out mid round which it frequently does.

If I'm practicing I don't use it, but for every other round, I will.

If there's a round you don't want to use for your stats, you can select that option when you "sign" the round.  The data will be there, but it won't be included in your data analysis.  But you can look at the round and see your individual shots.

If the weather is nuts or I packed a 6-pack with me, I might exclude the round from my stats afterwards because it's not useful data, but otherwise I'm tagging every shot as best as I can. I use the phone app, not the actual device.

Has anyone had an issue where their Game Golf unit no longer vibrates when you tag a shot. I only get a series of beeps. When I plugged it in this evening, there were shots tagged. I stopped using it in the round because I thought it was done for. Based on this link, I'm guessing it is.

I haven't.

Sounds like they'll sort it out for you though.

I'm thinking about getting one of the Live versions. Does anyone know if I can bypass the need to plug the unit into a computer since it seems like it uploads directly to the iphone app? Now I just need to find a local store that will price match the amazon price.

Right. If you plan to use your phone (turn it upside down so the screen stays off), it will upload your round from the phone, basically.

You'll still likely want to edit on the computer later, as it's easier to be more precise.

It still tags shots, but doesn't vibrate, so I miss shots, etc. I've given up on it.

FYI, the unit will show a green light indicator which blinks when it receives a tag.
Also, the "vibrator" is a common motor/armature used in phones.
If you are handy and can open the device (special little bit type screwdriver required) the part is easy to repair.

My clip broke, it lost it's spring and the clip became 'floppy' and wouldn't stay on my belt.

I contacted them and they sent me a new clip which turned out to be the entire back piece of the unit.  No charge.

You should contact them just to see what they will do.

I can't hear it. I'm mostly deaf in my right ear.

That would be a negative. I was trying it today to see how it worked, and it slipped off my belt. It has done this quite a few times before, but today I couldn't find it. Se la vie.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
