Sorry. Yes, it makes you more aware of your faults, although there are obviously other Apps etc that can do the same. Personally I find this to be the most convenient to use on the course itself and most user friendly to study at home.

Like Dave, I also find I'm concentrating a little more on each individual shot now.

As for competing? Yes, but just as a bit of fun.

tbf I don't think any of the other apps had threads quite so long. Have left my club this year. So as a nomad thiught this style of 'competition' might give me a fix / target. Not that I'm much competition for anyone atm.

Good shooting Dave. What's Three Rivers like at the moment? Not played there for a while. used to live in South Woodham so not far away. Living in Chelmsford now makes sense to play at Chelmsford Golf Club, although none of my GameGolf rounds have been there yet due to temporary greens during winter.

I know its not an aid that will bear fruit directly. I simply meant has it made you more aware of faults and have you worked towards them. Or is it simply a gimmic. Lots of apps come out and people use them and improve short term. I guess you're right. It's down to the person. But as you can follow one another. Do people did themselves competing?

To answer this and your previous post from me it's a resounding yes.
I started using it last April and have logged over 70 rounds (over 1000 holes) my Handicap reduced over the summer from 15.4 to 13.8, not loads, but as everyone has said you need to log a bit before you can start to sensibly use the info.

For me it showed my Driving wasn't as bad as I thought, actually wasn't too bad for accuracy, but my short game was letting me down, so I changed my focus on the range and when practising, it's also given me actual yardages rather than what I believed, e.g. 7 iron = 150 yds, in reality my 7 Iron averages 140, sometimes 150 yes, but not on average, so again using info like this my GIR has improved.

Some may say you can spot this anyway and don't need a device to tell me that, well now instead of analysing my shots on the course I relax knowing the device is collecting the data and I can concentrate on playing.

It provides information, how you use it is up to you, currently I feel it's helped me and even the Pro I get lessons off looks at my stats to help focus in on lessons.
 
Hi mate. Three Rivers is actually playing ok at the minute, no temporary greens. It will struggle if we do get persistent rain, but fingers crossed we don't. Are you following me on Game golf ?
You should come down for a round when the weather improves?
 
Well folks, unless there are some very late entries, looks like Sam has the honours for Janurary.
:cheers:

I've set up a putting challenge for Feb, we'll repeat a similar challenge topic in the summer and see if it is really the green's fault!!!

So, well done Sam and best of luck to all in Feb.

Love the challenges mate, cheers.
Can you set them up over a particular amount of rounds, ie, single round or need 3/4 etc to qualify? Interested as have a couple of ideas for other challengers.

The choice I have in the set up box is to either select 'best round' or 'average over all rounds' over the period. I have selected best round as it means if you have a couple of 'Tiger moments' early in the month, you can still be in it for the rest of the month. There is not an option to have to submit a minimum number to qualify. However, this is a democracy so if folks want a different format or have some ideas I'm all ears (provided it can be implemented in the system!).

{I would say that the options for challenges are a bit limited at present, best gross / GIR/ Putts / no Pars or birdies etc. I put a post on page 5 of this thread with some links and I'd echo that GG rely on demand demonstrated via their user forum to make improvements so please all log in there and vote / comment for those ideas!!}

Sorry mate, probably my bad use of english, wasn't commenting on what you've done and are doing, I'll enter everything.
I was wondering if it would be possible to run a big challenge over the summer alongside your other Challenges, ie Best 4 rounds between April 1 - Sept 30, or something similar

No worries, I didn't take it as anything other than part of the overall challenge discussion.

Simple answer is that I don't think you can do that, it is either best 1 or average of all but click the 'create a challenge' and have a play, you may find some great options I've missed! Post if you have a light-bulb moment.
 
To every one I invited to the high handicap GIR challenge, don't be offended if you don't have a high handicap, I just went down the list of people who follow me :)
 
Anybody having trouble with the Game Golf installed on a Mac, seems to just freeze on me? There has been a Mac software update so I am thinking this might be the cause but just thought I'd ask before I contacted them?

Thanks
