I must admit to getting a little fed up with the GG app on the iphone. Played an 84 the other day but for some reason it thought I eagled two holes and got a hole in one on a Par 4 355 yards. I'm going to buy the full system in a few weeks but I really do think the app in a distraction to the flow of the round.

How many folk are still using scorecards for their rounds? I tend not to use them at all now.
 
I find the phone app distracting too, haven't posted a decent round with it yet. Got an email from Game Golf saying they are now selling the tags to go with the phone app, £80 I think which should make it easier to use the phone app. Only works for android phones at the moment though as it uses nfc. Could mean the battery will drain quicker with GPS and nfc switched on all the time
I am assuming these phone tags are identical to the normal tags so might be worth picking some up on eBay. Is there anyone with a Game Golf device who could try these tags on their Android phone to confirm?

Got to agree mate the app is more hassle than its worth and is probably putting people off buying the main unit itself. The main unit is so much easier just tag and edit after your round unlike the phone app which defo kills the flow of your round
 
Admittedly, I’m only two rounds in, but I’m really enjoying the GG app.
I can see both arguments as I’ve debated the full unit, but for it doing pretty much the same as the free app doesn’t warrant itself, in my eyes.
But I can see how it is interrupting my round. Mainly getting home and reviewing to find out I’ve forgot to ‘tag’ shots on my phone and having to sit there and replay the round in my mind to remember everything. But that’s just user error I guess.
 
I got the app and tried to use it for the first time last Sunday.

I forgot to 'tag' every 2nd putt in the first 5 holes, then gave up on it walking up the 6th fairway when I realised I hadn't tagged the tee shot.

Might give it another go, but can't see myself using it religiously.
 
I actually am finding using GG a stress on my game. My last 3-4 rounds haven't gone on there due to me just wanting a clear head during the round. I've posted quite low scores for me lately and I'm stressed about not getting to them so I'm having a GG sabatical until I get the proper tagging system. Also my clubs are all over the place on it too. I now have 3 extra clubs that I just keep forgetting to add in. Doing it from the app during the round is a pain on a GPRS signal lol

It's putting I find the most distracting. You see your line and go to put, forget to tag, then tag, after you missed the putt. It's just annoying for your playing partners because they say "Aye you missed that because you're too busy playing with your phone lol"
 
Used the full system for over a year now and have tagged every round I've played in that time (100+) it's second nature now, don't think about it part of the routine, the accuracy on course is not an issue as you simply drag it to the correct position, most GPS positions can fluctuate and as it's post round it's irrelevant.
 
I'm up to 30 rounds and if anything I over tag, so lots of deleting multiply shots. I'd rather do that then forget one.

I was hoping that I'd see a nice gapping on my clubs but I'm not :P

Between 3 wood to 3 hybrid the difference of the means is only 10 yards. 5 to 6 iron 2 yards, 7 and 8 iron exactly the same. Then a nice gap between 9 Iron and PW. Also a 9 yard gap between each of my Cleveland wedges.

Only thing at my course it's rarely calm unfortunately so it's difficult I suppose to find the differences. Think at the end of the season will get a gapping session sorted out.
 
I really like the app. If i forget to select club I either edit it later or on next tee. I'm not sure how the handicap is worked out as my average score is 81 but giving me a 6 handicap but really like the stats it gives.

Ok I've finally bit the bullet. Amazon had the price dropped to £126 so I took the plunge.

It's odd as this is the type of thing I'd usually jump at but for some reason I'm still not convinced by the value of it.

As I'm going to make a concerted effort to improve my game I thought I'd give it a go and see what insights I'd get. I think I've got a good perception of where I'm strong and weak and lets see if it matches the data.

I'll give it a go over the weekend and see what I think.

Just be prepared that it will take IMHO about 20rounds to have a true reflection of your game.

I Love my unit!
 
Im so tempted to get one of these.

I know a lot of people moaned about them when they first came out as you couldnt edit out some shots.

7 iron bump and run onto a green for example.
HAve all these thigns now been resolved?

Outliers like that will eventually be dropped from your stats over time. I still wish you had the ability to tag a shot after your round as either a full swing, or pitch, chip etc but they insist it isn't needed.

Ye - still cannot believe this is not an option.

May have to invest in it to see. Not really into tech but Game Golf looks very useful indeed
