I don't really see how this would work because how would the app/system know whether I'm at a tee box waiting to tee off because of a slow group in front of me vs at the tee box with myself and my playing partners hitting our tee shots?

Knowing that the price of my round is continually increasing due to a slow group in front of me that doesn't care about the price of their round would make me enjoy the round significantly less.

it would have to be done as a % of time you fall behind the group in front of you.   for example, you only get dinged when the group behind you is waiting on you AND you are not waiting on the group in front of you AND you are playing slower that whatever the standard pace of play is.

 We’re getting off topic here, but that wouldn’t provide any reward for those who can play faster than the people playing ahead of them. He would not only want to penalize those who are slow, but to reward those who are particularly fast.

Not sure if this is at the PGA show or not, but assuming it is based on time of release...  

Arccos finally eliminated the need to keep your phone in your pocket.

Not that it was something that ever really bothered me, but it did use a lot of batter and also made my bluetooth speaker cut out when I drifted a bit too far from the cart. 

appears you can clip this to your belt or keep it in your from pocket.  based on dimensions, looks like its about a quarter the size of an iphone in length and about half as thick.

Looks like it was timed to coincide with the show.

This existed well before the show, right? Maybe there's a new upgrade. By the way, is it me, or does the swing capture on the 4DMotion not look like the actual swing of the person in the video.

Yeah, the only difference I can think of is you don't need to tap, which if I am honest I would forget to do from time to time. The downside is the Arccos unit I used changed the swingweight of my club.

The Pill - ball chopped on the sides for short game practice. This has been around for awhile, and I've never heard of it till now. So many products.

The pro you don't tap, either.

He knows. It also changes the swingweight. 😞

I can't tell if this is in the app, but my friends idea is to use a technology like this to change the pricing that you get as a golfer like the new car insurance apps they have. So if you are a slow golfer you pay more, and if you are a fast golfer you pay slightly less than the going rate. The car insurance apps track your speed, braking, etc and then give you a discount based on how safe a driver you are, this would do a similar thing for golfer based on preshot routines, wondering around for lost balls, and general quickness.

I think his idea is pretty good.

This would get someone killed...haha. I mean, you see how mad people get about pace of play now. Imagine if the group in front of them was causing their rates to go up!

Doesnt arccos also? 

Yes, but I also think their second version reduced the weight a good bit. I believe they're about half the weight of the GG Pro tags.

 Unfortunately it only works if the course first establishes an appropriate pace of play.

Sadly, too many think 4:15 is appropriate…

Ok. So now 4:15 is slow. Why don't people like you just quit the game if its so agonizing for you to be out playing such a wonderful sport if you cant finish in 3 hrs. or less.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.

      By retoid ·

      Thank you, currently I only had the 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons in the bag. I was never finding myself in a situation to use the 4 and 5 so I dropped those a while ago. The 60W is what I've been practicing with the most in the back yard, but that's only with short chipping. I don't think I've ever practiced hitting my wedges at 80% - 100% apart from yesterday. Maybe I should be doing that more. Generally I would be using a 9 iron if I was out about 75 yards or so. I am not really sure I understand your mention of the 60W and 3H. Aren't these going to be giving me completely different results? Unfortunately I am not able to adjust the loft on the hybrids I have. I looked into the Shot Scope H4 you suggested and this seems really neat and handy, however I am struggling to understand how it works. Am I correct in assuming it doesn't track the ball distance until you hit the ball a second time? Say I drive from the tee and walk up to my ball, tag the next club and hit the ball. Is it at this point when I tag my next club while standing next to my ball that is knows the distance? Thank you, I am going to give the local shop a call and check their prices and see what they can offer.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Do you know what their handicaps are? The handicap system isn't perfect and given the higher variance from higher handicaps, I think low handicap players would be expected to win maybe 60% of their matches? I'm not exactly sure what that number is and it will vary with the handicap difference, but if they're generally very low handicaps, then they might be at 60% likely to win a game. Given it's 16 vs 16, that's a lot of games to win. If it's 60%, then that's around an 80% chance that they'll win a given match. At 80% chance of winning, 21 wins in a row is about 1 in 108 times. Pretty unlikely, but not unheard of. It's pretty sensitive to what that individual win percentage is too. If it's 65%, then 21 wins is about 1 in 9. If it's 55%, then 21 wins is 1 in about 5,700. Clearly it's not as simple as this because that win likelihood is going to change match to match as they play lower handicap teams or higher handicap teams, but I don't think it's a "yes they're cheating" thing at all.

      By retoid ·

      I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!
