I tried the app on my phone. Needs fine tuning a little in terms of using spare tags for my short wedges and bump and runs.

The main grumble I have is my home course only has the Red and White tees mapped. So playing off the yellows today makes my yardages look short or huge compared to what they are :(

This doesnt make sense? how does the tee make any difference to the distance you hit your clubs? if its a shorter hole, you just hit a shorter club? the distance it goes is exactly the same?

you also dont need to use spare tags for bump and runs....

What I meant sorry was when I started the app it asks me what tees to start from. It gives either red, white or default. The default tee actually was placed on the whites when you looked at the map. So I could measure the distance of my tee shot from my stroke saver against the game golf reading (relative to a marked point, say a bunker) to find it was out as I was hitting from the yellows today. However the yardage from that point to the green was spot on and proper useful. Makes sense to me. Might be user error as its my first time using it and will see when I get out again next.

Seems a little strange though as i would have imagined that whilst it would default to the white tee distance, the GPS would quickly realise that you were 30yds futher forward (For example) and then it would reduce the distance to the bunker?

otherwise its not actually using GPS? merely using a premapped yardage?

Yeah something not correct. I uploaded my play to the site. The first hole gives an example of how bad it is. The first tee is being shown as the car park. The second tee also shows as being from the old junior tee opposite the 1st green.

Never got the chance to try today but will have a play about next week and see what it comes up with. Could be an issue with the GPS on my phone and how its received the signals.

Does the App allow you to edit the round once it's uploaded to your account?
 
Could someone invite me to the May challenge? Can't see how to join anywhere and according to support my rounds should be registering for challenges now.

Invite sent, it's Craig isn't it ?:thup:
 
Can anyone remember the title of the thread, that described how to fit a GG tag to a putter with no hole in the grip?

My new Boccieri putter has no recess!

Thanks

Cheers Paul. Has finally accepted it for a challenge!

Showing as 1.66 over handicap but was actually 3 under real handicap. Only got GG in January and played well over winter on shorter course meaning GG handicap is 5 lower than real. Hopefully I'll catch it up soon though.

I fixed my tag to the end using a piece of Shrink wrap tubing, there are some pictures in post #305, which can be bought from ebay and shrunk around tag and putter grip with a hair drier, or if you PM me I'll post you a length.

Game Golf have a solution in their Support section using double side tape but it did not work very well for me and my putter, hence I tried the shrink Wrap which I have not had a problem with

I used some 60mm dia Heat Shrink Sleeving, I had at work skilling around, to close down on my 30mm SuperStroke Putter grip, so as you can see it will shrink down a lot, and long as its about 5mm larger than the grip should be fine. Ideally I would buy some about 10mm larger than your grip
