Only trouble with phones, is they are hard to see in bright sunshine (we should be so lucky) and the battery drain.
 
I'm actually a little bit miffed that I've just gone and paid £150 for the gadget, when it seems like I could have just done it for free with my phone. That said I'm not sure it would be legal to use the phone in a comp, so swings and roundabouts...
Was a bit surprised to see this, if it's available to all, why bother with the tags?
Sounds like email time😃

Below is the reply to my email I sent, replied within an hour!!!

Thank you for your message and for your candid feedback. We understand that the new features in the app add to the overall GAME GOLF product line but believe there are a number of distinct advantages for device users over and above the app features alone.

The GAME GOLF device allows customers to gather their data more seamlessly without the need to carry a phone or pull out a phone each time they hit a shot. You are not reliant on phone service coverage and some courses prohibit the use of phones on-course. The shot detection algorithm built into the device collects those shots even if you forget to TAG, thus making the post-round editing smoother. The TAG & Go design is also based on performance triggers from sport psychology that are designed to help you develop an even stronger pre-shot routine. Thus, overall we see that the TAG & GO with the device is a more convenient and less intrusive way for golfers to enjoy their round of golf.

Another key difference that you may be familiar with is that the GAME GOLF device is PGA and R&A compliant for tournament use, thus you can use it in any and all competitions. At this time no other phone / device has the same level of approval.

We will continue to work on ways of adding other technology platforms such as the tablet that you suggest. We are happy that you are enjoying your GAME GOLF experience and will continue to work hard on your behalf to ensure that you have a great experience with the device.
 
Thats a fair enough reply. If a phone is illegal in competition then for most its pretty pointless as I imagine competetive golf takes up most rounds of someones season.
Just uploaded my first round, had to make a couple of alterations but on the whole I'm well impressed with it. And the golf wasn't too shabby either for a change!

There customer service is brilliant⛳️
 
Uploaded my first round earlier....love the stats availability.
Got an issue with our black championship tees as 2 holes are par 4's but the scorecard has them as par 5's so it shows the blacks as par 74 when it's actually 72.
Emailed them and asked them to update it and scanned a copy of the card.
Be interesting to see how long it takes to get a reply.

Can't wait to add more rounds to start building up the stats...........my mate was so impressed after I'd downloaded the round, he immediately ordered one on-line..
 
Hi Folks,

Sorry - been head down at work recently.

Well done to John F who takes the honours for the Feb Putts / hole challenge with a great round of +1 and only 1.5 putts per hole average.

This month I gone all ornithological - birdies are the order of the day, and lots of them as all rounds count!

Best of luck all,

Simon

PS - to all those who've joined recently I think I've spotted you all and should have sent you an invite - if not, please follow me on GG and I'll receipricate and add you onto the challenge.

Hello mate,
Time for April's challenge, need to try and win one, not very good at Birdies😜

Your rounds are hilarious to view when using the app on my iPad. The imagery obviously hasn't been updated, so it looks as though you are just hitting a ball in a forest!

Lol....I know...it's just plain wrong!
Annoying thing is that our course is available updated on Google maps, but not on Google Earth....but apparently Game Golf can't use google maps ( which is more up to dose) it's madness

Here is the Google maps version

And here is part of the building site that my round is mapped against in game golf from Google earth.

Anyone else have this issue or any suggestions?

That is a shame, does seem an odd one would maybe understand if it was a Bing / Google thing but not when Google holds both maps

The sea looks really inviting mate :D

Can you e mail google Earth to ask them to update ? Would have thought they would sync with each other
 
Hello mate,

Yep - I'm on it this evening. I've miserably failed on the birdie front too.

I'll have a look to see if the GG Hcp has filtered through to any new comp options to level the field a bit against those pesky Cat 1 types!

Simon.

I think I remember GameGolf saying somewhere that on a PC, it will use Google Earth data, but on an iPad/iPhone, it uses Apple Maps data, which may not be as up to date
 
I think I am following Simon but can't seem to find the challenge

How do i join? Just bought my device and heading out later today.

OK - April challenge set up and I've invited all who are following me. (you should have an email and notification in GG notifications).

If I've missed you, follow up (Simon Barnard) and I'll follow-back / add you on.

Simon
 
Also, just emailed GG re ability to have nett score challenge as currently all are against gross so will favour lower hcp players as they must be getting round to this soon!
