So I have been using the Golfpadgps mobile app for the past few months and it is by far the best scorecard/rangefinder/gps app that I have used. Maybe two months ago I was able to get my hands on their new Golf Tags, similar to Game Golf and Arccos shot tracking systems and so far I have really enjoyed using them. Ill be honest, the biggest reason I went with the Golf Tags was that they were only $100 versus over $200 for the other two. Being just graduated from college, money sways a lot of decisions haha Anyways the point of this post is that I saw Golf Pad's twitter that they launched a kickstarter campaign for the new version of golf tags, and they are even cheaper on there!

here's a link for anyone interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/golfpad/golf-tags-easily-track-and-improve-your-golf-game?ref=nav_search

Very interesting idea. Using NFC and a phone vs a stand alone module (like Game Golf) for a substantially lower price. Very tempted to back this.

The major factor pushing me away from game golf is my vanity, too scared to look like a dork walking around with the unit on my belt. This is a lot more inconspicuous.

Agree, I'd have preferred the belt unit to be black.  I'm surprised Game Golf doesn't have patents to better protect their business.

Oh dam, didn't know that. Already backed the kickstarter to will see what happens. Only just over 10% towards their goal so they may not make it.

Thanks for posting this, I pledged to the Kickstarter.

I have been thinking about Game Golf but felt $200 was a bit of a leap. $79 is an amount I'm prepared to risk :)

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
