If you don't use your phone, you still have to plug it into a computer to upload your round.

That's still the way I do it even with the LIVE model.

If you have no plans to need to use a computer for that upload step, and are content to use your phone, you should be fine. The editing at gamegolf.com is browser-based, not OS-reliant.

I got that clarification from their tech support too... I'm back in the "I'm going to buy one" camp.

I would like to know when they can show individual hole trends. Like I want to see an overview of my 8th hole for example and where my drives typically end up and what score I make from each location

You can get that with the old system.  (By the way, the data in the new format still doesn't match up with the data from the old format.  I've emailed them, and they're still working on it.) Here

Ditto. Why would I pay a hundred bucks to make my equipment non-conforming? Real time stays are pretty useless anyway. I'm not so absent minded that I don't realize when I've missed three greens in a

how well does the "tags + phone" solution work? mixed reviews on amazon.

You should dl the app first and use it a few rounds. Also, create a user profile on their website, then you can review and edit your rounds.

Basically the tagging system makes tagging entries simple, versus using the mobile app to enter/select clubs.

Game Golf Live allows you to view the shot-tracking data in real-time as you play (on a smartphone).  It also - through the same app - can function as a rangefinder.

IMHO, not really worth the extra money...but others may disagree.

@iacas,

I just got mine... At my home course (Newman Municipal) it thinks the 4th is the 6th and the 6th is the 4th any way to let the developers know they have it messed up. Because Ill link my two rounds below and you'll see what I mean.

I just did, I guess because they "share a tee", They'd think it make logical sense to keep running parallel, #6, #7, and #8 make a triangle at Newman (well more like an irregular quadrilateral ), that's how I explained it to Game Golf support.

I got the live since I got the discount for being an early adopter and had a friend keen to buy my original off me at the same time.

However, it was a pointless upgrade in terms of functionality for me. Personally I don't use the live features at all. One of the reasons I preferred the idea of Game Golf over Arccos (besides the lack of Android - now resolved I believe) was the fact it took no charge from my phone, and in many ways seemed simpler (for me, i understand people will argue Arccos is more hands off, but the tagging is habit for me and I have no problems with 10 mins reviewing my round afterwards). If you do want a rangefinder as well, i'd spend the other $125 on a second generation garmin watch, or just pick up a free app for your phone.

I love Game Golf and understand why they have made the changes they have, but really seeing as it is primarily a stat collecting tool I'd much prefer they spent their time on improving their stat data and presentation. For example more detailed strokes gained info, course and hole comparisons etc. It would be nice to pick a course I play regularly and see if there are one or more holes i struggle on, then if so where and why etc.

I think GG is going to find that they need to switch to a subscription at some point, because they can't just keep selling hardware to people.

I agree with that... selling hardware to people is only going to net so much profit...

Yes very true, I've spent a total of £300 on game golf (classic and live), and that has effectively got me and my friend all the hardware we need to keep filling their servers etc with data forever. I'd be interested if they considered the Live a sales success.

Does the Gamegolf program work on all smart watches? Or are the specific watches that work best? 

I went from tags, which cause my phone to die quickly. To the app, which was a PIA. To the LIVE unit which I bought on Ebay for $140. I LOVE IT! But I still open my phone for the distances. If I could find a watch that worked well I'd be sold. Thoughts?

FYI - I shot 3 rounds of 44 yesterday. Should I buy a lottery ticket?

I bought the Pebble Time for $99 and it works quite well for the basic distances without pulling the phone out.

I've posted a similar question elsewhere on TST, but can those who have these butt-mounted devices tell me whether they get damaged when putting clubs back in the golf bag?

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
