I've got £20 worth of American Golf vouchers left. GG through them is £159.99. Is it worth using them and getting or try to find cheaper somewhere else?

They offer price match on some products, have a scan around then ask them to match⛳️

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.

If you look back a few pages they replied to an email someone sent about this. The biggest reason is that you wouldn't be able to use the phone app in a competetive game.

I asked them to pricematch Amazon (£149) and they said they don't pricematch them! Waste of time.

Check ebay, got mine for 125, still sealed in the box.

Just ordered it off eBay, still no idea what to spend my £20 American Golf vouchers on

Set my bag up, now just want it to arrive before Friday. Got 4 rounds from Friday to Monday. So will be good to get some stats started

Finally got myself a GG after 4 months of contemplating it. Playing at Gleneagles on Monday so thought I would take the plunge and map my round for posterity.

Should make for some interesting post-round analysis.

Lesson #1 on GameGolf usage: add checking your GameGolf battery into your night-before-a-round routine.

Turned up on the first tee at the PGA Centenary to find my GG totally dead.

I am a bit annoyed that you cant get 36 holes out of it either. Played in an open on Monday, even charged it for 20mins in between rounds.

How long were your rounds Sam? I've used mine over 36 holes a few times during 3-4 hour rounds with no problems, so I imagine that means the battery life must conk out somewhere between 6-8 hours in one go.

Yeah i would agree, it was in Sauntons Mens open so first round was around 5hrs (SLOOOW), it seems as though i got 9holes out of it on the 2nd round.

Need to find something that chargers stuff 'super fast'

So what is everyone first impression of using GG? Ive been debating getting one for over a year now. Is it easy to upload the round information? Is the data useful?

If you can interpret the data, then it is very useful. The distance to pins I wouldn't exactly rely on, as they can be way out...but for other stats, and for seeing general misses on screen and common course management 'hiccups' it is great

 

[simplyme]

I love mine, really helpful and starting to see the results in general play now from knowing distances better, etc..

Solution would be to use one of the USB battery products, could easily have in pocket with cable to device or use to top up for all the time in-between rounds.

I did consider it, but thought that a charge in the changing rooms would probably give it more 'juice'.

Looks like mine is going to arrive tomorrow. Is the 2 hour charge before a recommendation or a necessity?

Could you get away with an hour or would that damage the battery?

I'd give it the full charge before first use, when you plug it in to PC/MAC it will tell you how much charge it has

Ok thxs, looks like Saturday before first use then 😭

Very interested having just watch Mr Crossfield's video lessons with Game Golf comp winners. Can someone confirm a couple of points. How does it recognise you are chipping and it isn't just a duffed 7 or 8 iron (or whatever club you are hitting) and do you have to tag your putter and do so on every putt?

After you've hit enough shots with said club it discounts any obvious outliers from the average data I believe, so it knows a 20 yard 7-iron bump-and-run won't affect your 150 7-iron average.

Yes you putter has a tag and you need to tag every putt. It's very easily done, though it can be occasionally annoying when you partner gives you a putt in a friendly and tosses your ball back, as you still have to walk over to the flag and tag your shot!
