Picked mine up today. Clubs have got the tags installed, and the bag has been set up online for some time. Unit is now charging. Best I read what all the lights mean...!

Yup, I'm already in there. Set everything up a little while ago, but didn't have the device. First round with it tomorrow, should be fun as not hitting it too well, and the wind will make for some fun tee shots!

Don't worry if you forget to tap or double tap, you get to sort it during the edit phase, look forward to seeing your round tomorrow.......no pressure😃

Morning all
Fairly new on the forum. Santa brought GG. Hopefully using it on Sunday for first time provided the course hasn't blown away or flooded by then!
I'll gladly follow all users on here. Feel free to follow back.

Bought this for myself for Xmas and got to use it for the first time the other day at Silverknowes Golf Course. Very impressed. Tagged every shot without thinking about it and it was very accurate.

I have a weekday membership at the 6 Council courses in Edinburgh (4 x 18 holes and 2 x 9 holers) so this will be great for analysing my stats over a variety of courses. Think it'll be a great help to show where I need to spend the time practicing (scrambling!!)

The thing I like is that it averages your scores over an imaginary par 72 course. Good when some of the courses I play are par 67, others 70 and 71 so it will be nice to see if I can average under 80 for the year, which would be my target.

Played my first round with this today after arriving earlier in the week.

No problems with remembering to tag shots and really easy to edit rounds back at home. We've got a few holes with winter greens (and a couple of winter holes) which aren't mapped so had to delete those holes, will have a look on the FAQ on the website if anyone has asked about mapping winter tees/greens.

Think I ended up with 11 normal holes played so my stats won't register for the GIR challenge as I think they have to be 9 or 18 hole rounds.

Only thing I couldn't see that was obvious is changing the fairway hit/missed statistic, is the only way to move your second shot left/right until it recognises as missed? Couldn't see a fairway hit option like you can do with a putt from on or off the green.

Also does anyone know if there is an iPad app? I've currently got the iPhone version on my iPad but they never look good. Can't see a specific iPad version but could be missing something.

No specify iPad version, but I think the phone version doesn't work too bad, I prefer it to the web version when viewed on the iPad (far less clunky)

Seems to have older maps on the iPhone version, a couple of bunkers missing around our 1st/3rd greens which are there on the web version. I've only been a member 2 years but they have always been there. Hopefully they'll update the phone maps version at some stage. I think I've seen a similar thing with a phone gps app I used to have also.

Get in touch and see if they will re-map your course, on the odd occasion I have been in touch with them, they have been pretty quick to reply. Not used mine yet, all set up and ready to go, hopefully tomorrow

I think try rely on google maps satellite data don't they? If Google Maps isn't up to date, then Game Golf won't be up to date.

I played my first round (well, 13 holes) with it today, and just plugged it in to have a look to see whats what!

I asked about remapping holes and they can do it. Haven't got it but interested in it. The company say they can remap in a couple of days.... Out course plays holes out of order in the winter (don't ask) they recon it can handle this as well

I asked about Winter Tees/Greens etc but as they said unless they are permanent it is diifficult to differentiate on satelite imagery.
IMO opinion you have two options, delete the hole or play the hole as if the pin was on the front of the green, ie if you hit the winter green record as on the green.
The other thing to remember GG was only launched in April last year so it is not perfect, we are in at the beginning and I'm sure it will develop over the next few years.

I'll send a request about a few holes I think as the winter holes have permanent tees and greens that you can clearly see on Google maps (play as a separate hole rather than just shortened), will do a bit of photoshopping (or ms painting) to show where they are.

From the bits I've seen on their website they seem pretty good at replying to requests and adding new features as the user base grows.

 

[Scouser]

They suggested that you mark the approx areas on Google map for them... And they will do it

 

[Deleted member 16999]

One thing in there favour, they are excellent at customer care

 

[Deleted member 15717]

hmmm, I hope they are! Trying to upload my round from today, and it has frozen. When I disconnect unit, and re-connect, it just tries to carry on from where it left off!

I used GG for our new year drive in comp - it was a shot gun start and I started on the 5, round downloaded and compiled no issues.
