Sitting in the hotel in Portugal after our first 2 days here. Played the vale delobo ocean and the millennium. Beers going down a treat so ended up spying eBay and now how my game golf heading to my door for when I get home. Can't wait :-)

Yes, seem to remember the instructions and a quick start guide are online on the game golf forum

I set up an account on Game Golf before I got the gear so is it just a case of fitting the plugs into my matching clubs as I've set them up in the settings in My Bag, turn it on at the course and off I go?

Do I need to switch it on whilst plugged in to my computer and follow any prompts or is it all self primed, I'm just concerned as its second-hand?

Nope, but it will take a few mins for a gps lock when on the course, also if you turn it on too early i.e. while warming up it will detect these shots. These can easily be edited out though.

Also if you do not have a gps lock you cannot tag your club, but can add the shot after.

The lights flash red / white prior to gps lock then the unit will beep and the white light will flash. I think but maybe wrong when you tag you get the beep and vibrate the unit will then flash white and green to remind you it has tagged a shot.

Got it all out the box, unfortunately he's lost the 4i and is using the star for that otherwise its all complete, I think! Can't complain for £75 :thup:

Just got the booklet out to see how to set it up and the writing is minute and afetr a quick glance and straining my eyes, I don't think there are any instructions :confused:

Do I just plug it in and follow prompts?

Just got a red light, because I set up an account before I got the gear it was a little confusing, I've now found the GG/Start info and downloaded the transfer stuff and confirmed my tags to my bag/clubs, it then gave me a pop up but said no device found and no rounds recorded, so I just tried to switch it on whilst still in the computer and I got a red/white light but no change on the computer for a few minutes so I've switched it off again just with the red light showing to charge.

I think I'm all downloaded now :confused:

Off GG support forum

In 2014 Microsoft decided to drop support of Windows XP machines. Thus, the GAME GOLF Transfer Application software is no longer compatible with Windows XP computers and cannot be supported. Please visit the Microsoft support page for further details here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help

Since Windows XP isn't supported, you will need to install the Transfer software on a compatible Mac (OS X 10.6+) or Windows (Vista, 7, 8) machine

I have to use our desktop which has Vista to download the rounds / connect to the device.

Not sure if there is a work round

Its looking like it can't find the device, I get the welcome & log-in pop-up but it then states "no device found" and there is no info for the I.D or battery or anything!

I'm now going to have to find & buy a cheap laptop or similar to use on a different OS, really not happy now :mad:

Was annoyed myself, kind of expect XP to still be OK with most things. Was lucky I had a different PC with Vista
 
Not read whole thread but is everyone using the full system, or has anyone used the phone app?

Am assuming the app is more of a faff as you may need to tell it what club but it may be a way of trialing the principle before buying the tags. Maybe only for bounce games where no danger of holding up play.
