You need to make tagging part of your pre shot routine
The easiest shots to forget to tag are the tap in putts , where you don't follow your normal routine .

So you make a 1st put after initially tagging, then tag again for the 2nd put and so-on..

Yes mate

What I've found that works for me is that as I very first step to the ball I tag my club before I take my grip and start my practice routine. Don't forget you've got 1 minute from the time you tag....plenty of time even for the most rigorous of pre shot routines.

The tag doesn't know when you have hit the ball...so I'm not entirely sure what the minute's grace is about to be honest. You can walk to the ball, tag the club...stand for a couple of minutes and then play. the system still registers that you have tagged your club

Looks like I slightly misinterpreted the 60 second thing:

Can I take my shot while the green light flashes?
Yes, the green light will flash for 60 seconds after you tag your shot. The green light confirms that the system picked up the tag and is functioning properly to record your round. If you want to hit the next shot while the green light is still on, just tag the club again.

Entered my second round on Friday - found I didn't have to think about it quite so much. I found it easier to clip it onto the right hip and I used a plastic gardening tie to secure it to my belt loop just in case.

I too always tag before taking my grip - apart from a tap in putt when I am happy to pop it in then tag it.

I think the confusion regarding the 60 secs, is the green light stays on for 60 secs to confirm you have tagged the club, not that you have to hit your shot in 60 secs

Yeah, exactly that. I guess it's there in case you have a senior moment and can't remember if you tagged or not.

I'm only 34 I still don't remember.... I'll look for the green light next time!

If you don't play your shot straight away though, the light will go out, but then it could pick up another shot. I've had the device pick up shots that I've not buzzed in the practice nets next to the first tee at courses like Reigate Hill and Lancaster before, so imagine it could pick up other shots on the course randomly if you don't play within the 60 seconds.

I think i will wear it when i am at the range just to try and embed it into my routine

You are right about forgetting the short putts.......

I am usually swearing under my breath and cursing obscenities when i miss a short one.....

I've treated myself. paulhoughton is my username if anyone wants some light entertainment

Got quite used to this now. I won't use it in comps as I feel I may occasionally delay a pp but on bounce games will use it. Also it gives me a bit of a more interesting reason to go out on my own when I fancy that.

I'm registered as M70 I think. I'm in the pub today relaxing after a presentation course in work which was far more stressful than trying to nail a wood from the fairway.

Just pulled the trigger. Should arrive Friday just in time for our first board comp off the black tees Saturday, (if I work out how to set it up Friday night).

So, having just replaced my irons and the new ones are about a club shorter than the old - do I start afresh with the tagging of just change the clubs and keep the cumulative figures?

 

[DaveL]

If you are not going to use the old irons again, I would of thought it best to start again. Having said that with the ground firming up, the extra rollout might make up for the clubs being one club shorter, so your old club winter distance might be your new clubs summer distance if that makes sense (I have just got up )

It does make sense but the distances are still going to be different, but if I start again I've to start compiling a whole new set of stats and I don't tend to use the game golf always, especially 4bbb games

Email GG and explain to them what you want, and see if they can come up with any ideas or quick fixes. Might be worth a go before you delete your data, if that's the route you decide

 

[Deleted member 16999]

You can now keep different stats for different clubs, GG then shows you stats side by side, good for comparing how you were/are doing, it doesn't use your old info for your new clubs
