TST Explores GAME Golf

[bkuehn1952]

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 am well beyond my 12 month warrantee.

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.

Shane, did the device crap out totally?

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.

I did contact them. It's out of warrantee. They offere a live unit at a discount.

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.
