Request sent with some dodgy MS paint google maps.

I've asked for the winter holes to be mapped, which I assume will be easy enough to do. Also asked for some winter greens to be mapped as well, but I'm not sure if you'd be able to have two greens mapped on one hole, will wait and see what they say.

I wonder how quick they'll be at replying?
 
They're pretty quick from my experience. Was playing a social day at a 9 hole course, checked online 2 days prior to playing and it wasn't registered, so registered it myself. Then, on the day we were set to play I got an email saying the course had been added. Annoyingly, the email came through 15 minutes after I set off, without GAME Golf, so I couldn't buzz it. Very impressed with their service though, especially considering it was just after Xmas, and I was playing the course on New Years Eve.
 
Played my first round today using GG, managed to lose the head unit once, it was 50 yards behind me when I retraced my steps. Only forgot to tag 3 shots. Overall I really like it.
 
I got my GG on Friday with some vouchers for Christmas, have played two rounds thus far and really enjoying it.

Name: dougajmcdonald or just Doug McDonald

Annoyingly I signed my second round after only checking the scores / putts etc, and I didn't notice a sand shot it's got me down for which didn't happen, oh well!

Decided to keep mine in my jacket pocket and take out to tag as it didn't clip on my belt I wear with waterproof trousers very well.

I suppose it's something you're only going to lose for a couple of hundred yards until you notice it's gone though.
 
Just played first round. What a shocker!! Not played for >a month, recovering from bad back, blowing a gale, cold and wet underfoot. Any more good excuses I can think of....?

GG wise, I was surprised the location mapping wasn't as accurate as I thought it would be. Missed a couple of bunkers for example?
I forgot to check in clubs about 4 or 5 times. Unit was in my pocket as wearing waterproofs.
But enjoyed looking over the horror. I think it'll come into it's own the more data is on there, hence admitting to the nightmare round and recording it even though I've not shot that score for a good 24 months or so
 
Tried using it again today, but it has decided to freeze again at uploading rounds. Hopefully GameGolf will be in touch with me soon to try and work it out

Most Civilian GPS are only accurate to 10-15 feet on average, so thats were the editing really helps, sometimes were you tee off isn't on the tee box, but easily fixed😃
 
Gotcha. I'll get used to it I'm sure but it is a good piece of kit.

Although that doesn't downwardly affect the amount of times I swung the clubs! But no amount of tech is going to help with that - plain old graft and practice needed before April comes around.

I found it helped identify the weakest of my weak areas😃 turned out my driving wasn't as bad as I thought it was my approach to the green, focused more on that and my game is getting better,
 
I sent a question to GG and I asked for a course update by email on Friday, I received the update tonight and the answer to my question.
My questiin was about the differences in imagery, apparently editing is done on Google maps but you view it on imac and ipad/iphone on Apple Maps, so at different times one set of imagery maybe more up to date than the other.

Anyone else finding that the app won't refresh at the moment? Whenever I go into notifications it says I have none and a red bar comes up saying "Unable to Refresh"

Just tried the Iphone App and had no issues, everything fine, if it persists delete the App and reinstall it, you won't lose any info as it'll update when you log in again.
 
Right. My name is John.....and I'm addicted to GameGolf. There. I said it.

Yesterday I got 4 top layers and 2 wooly hats on and braved rain, sleet and snow....just to get more stats from another of the courses I can play on my membership. And you know what? I actually find I'm concentrating more now. Instead of grabbing a club out of the bag at random as an experiment I'm now finding I'm thinking about it a little more just so's not to ruin a stat. That can only be good, surely?

Have only played 2 rounds now (terrible weather) but already I'm seeing interesting patterns emerge and these will be the things I work on this year.

1. My driving is good with a lot of fairways hit. Over 65%. Even when I don't I'm not hitting it off the planet. Light rough mostly. The yardages will improve over the Spring and Summer when the ball's not plugging where it lands!

2. GIR is decent. 50%. About expected for a 6 handicapper but I want it up to 70%. More on this to follow.

3. Scrambling is dire. 11% first round. 22% second round. Still working on the chippy yips! Practice, practice. Shots under 30 yards will make up 70% of my practice this year! If I'm missing 9 greens per round I'm only making par on 1 or 2 of them?! That's costing me 4 shots per round.

The stat I found most useful was that for shots between 100-125 yards. I'm on 0% within 15 yards!!! Eek. I'm 100% short. So I'll be working hard on hitting my gap wedge and PW solidly (no chunking thanks) and the GIR stat should go up accordingly.

Be very interesting to see the stats hopefully improve as the year goes on.

Absolutely agree with this. I am noticing patterns as well, even if the distances are largely irrelevant at the moment with it being winter!

My scrambling is not great at all (around 25%).
 
Big up me! Got given the Game Golf Shot of the Week on Twitter last week, a 6 Iron to 2" inches for a Birdie on the Par 3 16th at Sharpley GC, don't know if it comes with a prize or not or it's just koudos⛳️⛳️
