I didn't mean you should avoid hitting punched 8 irons, but having data how far you hit your punched iron in certain conditions might help with club selection when you find yourself in similar conditions in the future


To exclude a round from the stats just open the round, click 'edit round', unsign the round, uncheck the 'include round in stats' box (click on the little wheel next to the 'sign round' field) and then sign the round again.
If you want that round back in your stats, just reverse the process. It's a little annoying you have to unsign/sign every time but not too much of a hassle, I guess.

I'm gonna write a feature request non the less. Would be nice to be able to exclude a round from the stats by simply unchecking a box in the 'my rounds' overview.

I was thinking of requesting a feature to add a filter that enables you to show stats based on weather conditions / seasons.

Sounds good as well. Any kind of filter for rounds would be great. More important than more sophisticated filters would be the possibility to compare selected rounds, even if that would mean you'd have to manually select the rounds.
Being able to compare e.g. the last 10 rounds vs. the 10 rounds before would be nice to monitor progress. Or compare 5 rounds played in strong wind to 5 rounds played in windless weather.

There's so many thinks you could filter by, so maybe the option to manually select rounds and compare them would work best for most.

I'm looking at selling my game golf classic. Do I need to do anything to reset my unit so that it is ready for a new owner?

Thanks

How much you wanting for it?

 

[MendieGK]

I'm with Karen. No point for me in using it over the winter.

IT then begs the question during summer rounds if you have a horrendous round and your punching out of trees and not driving well as in distance wise and you know it will affect your stats, do you not bother in entering and signing that round?

Entirely different, you're only kidding yourself if not counting those rounds.

Loads of evidence to suggest they are a really good way of finding out where your weak spots are in the game. So many players practise the wrong areas week in, week out. Game Golf lets you see what area is consistently letting you down so you go and practise that. And yes, reduction in handicap is then almost a given.

Good enough for me, thanks.

Agreed, at the moment I think my average Drive is around 200 yds, bad weather, soft fairways and all that, but it is what it is and no sense in trying to kid myself I hit it any further. The stats don't lie.

That's possible now though, unless I'm misunderstanding you?

I am thinking of asking for one of these for Christmas, do you all think they are worth getting?

Boys and their toys..... I buy any kind of golf crap so of course I have one, I am a walking golf web sites Xmas bonus.

I am sure there are a few of the original Game Golfs kicking around now that people could sell to you at a very attractive price. Just wait till Friday night when a few people have had a beer or two, make an offer for one for 50 notes and I am sure someone will snap your hand off.

That's not really useful information though, is it? All it does is throw off the good stats I've gathered during the months I play competitive golf.

I have worked out a way around this. Register a new account. Just make sure you’re logged out with your primary account and go to www.gamegolf.com/start to create a new account. You can have all the same information except you will need a new unique email address and username. Then, when uploading your information through the Transfer App, make sure you’re logged in to the proper account.

Means you can effectively have a summer stat account and a winter stat account if you didn't want to "dilute" the stats.

OK logged on for the first time in a while and the strokes gained are there. Call me stupid (or variations thereof) but I'm struggling to understand what this means and not really following the online guide. Can someone give me some salient advice on these numbers please

Shots gained is very complex to work out, id like to know where they got there data from for a scratch player as I'd rather use the data from the scratch player then data I've got from the top 40 players from the period of 2002-2012.

Basically your losing on average 4.5 shots to the scratch player on your approach play.
How it's worked out is the position of you on the course in relation to the yardage to the hole. So the further you hit it down the fairway and less yardage to the pin the more shots you will gain. And it keeps going until you hole out.

I'm up for this.

Loving having the actual unit now. Using the free app for phones is a good insight into but there's no substitute for the actual unit. Very accurate and very easy to fit into your pre shot routine. Love the community challenges too.

Just picked one of these up. Hopefully get to use it this week. Fripnchips

We will have to have a stat off.

Where is the best place to pick up the original game golf at a decent price? The prices seem so varied when I'm searching!
