GIR is KING! Yet I still go for pins when I shouldn't. :-(

I recently received a GameGolf Live and have enjoyed analyzing the stats the website provides (it's a good distraction from my swing). So I decided to give the "Challenge" feature a try to help me keep GIRs in my sights.

I've started two challenges that will run June 1-30; highest GIR% overall, and in a single round. Tie-breaker for both challenges is putts-per-hole. The challenges are open to everyone on GameGolf, but if anyone here is interested, I'll spring for a nifty TST-logo ball marker for the top-finishing TST member in each challenge (if @iacas will "drop-ship" them for me :-)). Good luck!

Bump for the day crowd. Challenge starts today and runs through the end of the month.

Already some stiff competition. Happy Hunting!!

Sure thing. I'll double it to TWO ball markers. :-) And I'm not eligible, though I may "enter" myself, too.

Just saw that. Looks like it was a very nice round! ('cept for those pesky two-footers :~()

I walked 9 after work and got 56%, but I played 1-5 & 15-18 (slow league play in front of me and an open back nine, so I made the jump when I had the chance). I made the switch at 14 but skipped it to make sure I only played 9 holes, but it doesn't look like GameGolf is accepting the 'split' round for the challenge.

Rain in the forecast all weekend, so it'll be next week before I get another chance at it.

Sweet!! I love mine and am sending one to my dad for Father's Day (plus a copy of LSW ;-)).

I'm in. That makes eight of us on day 1.  I'd better play a lot better or I won't crack the top ten.  :whistle:

I'd do it but my GG unit died and it's out of warranty.

The free phone app will let you tag shots without the device. Not as convenient, obviously, but works fine and gets you in the challenge. :beer:

Change out the battery?

Ah cool. I forgot about that. I'm playing 9 holes tonight and 18 tomorrow so I'll get on board!

I really wish there were more options and stipulations for challenges. This would be much better as an 18 hole only challenge. There is so much more that could be done and it has not changed much the last few years.

I have the same issue of tending to go for pins I shouldn't. Definitely joining these challenges.

If it is battery caused death, you might be able to replace it.

I just joined.  I'm not sure I'll get more than one or two rounds in this month, but I'll certainly help make other people feel better about their GIR %'s!  :-P

      Winter Depression Thread

      By StuM ·

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
