How do you regular users deal with short chip/pitch shots or recovery shots, without affecting the distance stats, eg if you chip out sideways 20 yards for example, or use a 9 iron to chip onto the green?

If you look on the support pages of Game Golf it explains in depth, but I think it's some mathematical thing were they discounted best and worst distances to give normal shot average.
I think 😃
 
Tag on my putter split and fell apart today whilt pulling club out of the bag! Luckily, it fell to the bottom of the bag, but got to try and superglue it together

Why not use one of the spare ones for your putter and send GG an email, they'll send you a replacement.

I read somewhere about a bloke who has a spare tag attached to a cork, carries it in his pocket then when he's chipping or knocking it sideways he tags that one rather than the club he's actually using.

Means that the club tags are giving true distances, but thinking it through it could skew the scrambling stats I guess?

Will they though? According to their support, they say just use a spare tag. I'll give the gluing a go and make sure it still works before contacting them. Just doesn't feel right using a 'star' or something instead of the proper putter one

I understand you can't buy spares, but if your's is design fault or a dodgy one they might, less than year old it should still be guaranteed. no harm in asking

Hey Dave how's it going? I must admit I like it, it has a few flaws but you can work around them. Their CS is second to none and with it being in its infancy it will only get better and it's pretty good now

Hi mate, yeah I'm good. Not getting to play as often as I'd like, but can't complain. I see your making really good leaps in that handicap of yours! :thup: You'll be leaving your dad in law behind won't you? Haha bet he loves that!

Havnt heard a bad word about the game golf and I do love a gadget. Won't be long before I succumb to the itch...
 
Yeah mate I'm happy with the way it's going, really putting a lot of time into my swing, and got some lessons booked which I should be taking in the next month or so. I think (hope not) it's slightly a false HC, because we have been on winter tees and greens mainly.
The main 2 things GG has given me, is I don't hit the ball anywhere near how far I thought I did and using GG really makes me concentrate on each shot.
I can only see GG getting better as they add more features and as my handicap comes down I think it will become a more useful tool.
When the weather warms up a little, I/we will have to come to your place for a round, and your always welcome to play here as well. Because of my shifts (at the moment) I can play most of my golf in the second half of each month.
 
3rd round this morning.
Wearing waterproofs doesn't work for belt clip issues so the unit was in my pocket and forgot to tag quite a few shots as a result.
Weirdly best round of recent times, despite the pea soup fog that stayed all round.
Lessons are being booked!
Roll on Summer!
 
used my game golf for the first time today, only missed tagging one shot and uploaded successfully this evening, found the process pretty simple, including adding a penalty shot and adding th shot I forgot to tag.

One question, given that to was my first round with the device, why would my 'average round score' be different to my score today?? I shot 84 today, which has been registered and signed in the system, however my average score in the dashboard is showing as 86. \\

Any ideas??

Your round as you say shows 84, but when you use compare etc they put everyones score against a Par of 72, hence the 86 average, still 14 over.
 
Fair enough, my club has 2 courses, one is par 70, the other is par 72, so going forward the average score stat could be pretty inaccurate.

Not sure why the system can't calculate that tbh, as the scorecard shows par 70. I've asked the question in the support section on the website, will see what comes back.

I wondered about this, too, but if you think about it it means that you're fairly comparing your scores against everyone else who you might follow in the "compare" section because everyone's off a mythical par 72 course. There's an "over par" section too though so best to just use that to calculate your actual average score.

Just do what I do when wearing waterproofs. I attach the device to a string looped through a belt loop in my main pair of trousers (to avoid losing it if it slips off-see the post about not losing the device from earlier in January) then clip the device to my waterproof trouser elastic waistband in the usual way. You can still tag it properly if you're wearing a jumper or waterproof jacket over it as it doesn't actually need to touch the tag in the butt of your club. You only need to hover it within about a centimetre to hear the beep and feel the vibration activate.

Hi guys,

Game Golf announced some software updates over the weekend, like the ability to choose which tee you played from. See the rest here: http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/news/gear-news/game-golf-updates-announced-65947

Equally, if you enjoy mediocre golf and pull hooks, feel free to follow my 2015 escapades on GG.

Is GM planning on doing an article about GameGolf (rather than a review) where it looks at people stats etc etc? could be quite an intiguing read....?
