Where is the best place to buy the original game golf unit new?

The only way I'll avoid hitting punched 8 irons is to stop playing in 40 mph winds!
I'm interested in the highlighted bit - how will you do that? It might be possible but I'm not sure how? i.e. next summer how will you incorporate summer 2015 and summer 2016 stats while excluding winter 2015?
FD how did you see my suggestion about creating a GG winter account / new user to upload your winter rounds to and keep separate from the summer stats? Thought you might have been interested in that workaround!

when looking at "insights" in your profile you have the option to select which rounds...e.g. all, last 5 last 10 etc.
you can also select specific rounds so you could only select those you feel were in acceptable conditions

Yes, I know that but FD wasn't happy about doing it so I offered an alternative suggestion to keep them completely separate.
So when you guys that have upgraded to the Live version, is that a new complete unit, and if so, are any of you selling your original set up, I'm going for it again even though it's going to cost me a laptop so I need to track my progress, especially with 2016 being #YOTF :smirk:
Also, what was the main reason and benefits for you upgrading to the Live version?

I upgraded mate, it's a complete set, everything brand new, already sold on my other one,
Currently using it exactly the same as original, haven't used the live bit yet as only had it 2 weeks and both weekends have been comps.
Main reason for upgrade was mine was out of warranty (still working great) and thought it was a bargain at £99.00 rather than £200.00 plus and it's got a 12 month warranty

Well I'm back in the market so if anyone is looking for some quick cash for Christmas for their original unit, obviously has to be in good condition, I'll be interested.

Does this mean you have finally replaced that lump of junk XP PC you used to have?

No, my PC is fine and staying, if it ain't broke ....
I'll invest in a laptop or something I can download onto as you failed to give life to my old laptop a few years ago and is still dead in a cupboard 😉
Year of the Fragger 😂😂😂 which year 😂😂😂😂

Hi guys, apologies if this has been covered before, but I am now getting into using my game golf Classic!
Just wondered if you edit the flag position after a round, as I now do, does it recalculate the distances for approach shots, using the revised pin position, or is it still based on centre of green distances?
I know that the GPS is not mega accurate but as it now allows you to view approaches from close range I am hoping that bit of editing is improving the system's accuracy. I have got into the habit of noting the approx length of my last putt on my card for each hole so I can move the flag so the last putt recorded is consistent with that length. Before I did this had some odd stats where my 1st putt was maybe 4 yards, then my next one was 6 yards! My putting isn't brilliant but it's not that bad!!
Cheers.

Editing the flag position does increase the accuracy of the stats.
Their customer service told me they are also working on solutions to make editing the flag position easier.

Not sure but I think someone else does this to, if I birdie a hole I will always tag when I take my ball out so that it will show the hole position and then delete it later after I placed the flag where it should be. I also do it, if it's for any lengthy par putts to.

Cheers guys. I thought about tagging again after holing out but thought that just recording the distance, roughly, e.g <1' ; 3' etc. was easier than having to delete a shot on every hole.
Good to hear whichever method you use to edit the pin position is worth it in terms of more accurate data.

Used my Game Golf Live today for the first time with the Unit being connected to my phone, once you start the round a blue dot appears on the screen of your phone, the image displayed on your phone is the hole layout, basic info, hole no, par, length, etc tagged a driver and instantly it registered on map, played shot and off to find it😃 Normal procedure, tagged club for second shot and almost instantly phone was updated with second tag and distance you hit your first shot,
You can tap on an icon and it shows a map of the green and distance to F, M and R, basic info, continue tagging till holed out and then on to second hole, once you finish a hole it gives strokes and putts, you can edit, takes seconds, gives a scorecard.
It doesn't compare with a skycaddie for example and currently can't be used in comps, but the fact when you tag exactly the same as the classic it updates your phone and you can see distances and is useful as a basic range finder, absolutely easy to use, once you switch it on before you start, just forget it and use as range finder.
Verdict,
Do you need it ? No,
Is it fun? Yes.
If I wanted a Game Golf is the Live version worth the extra money?
Honestly, difficult, if you can afford it, why not good fun in bounce games and no need for a seperate GPS,
One other impressive bit, once you press end round on the phone and save the round, it is deleted off your unit, you can post it instantly and if you have messed up, you can edit later.

Ok, hit my best drive of the year on our 18th today. 262 with a following wind. Nicely on the fairway, that is until I consulted my stats in Game Golf. Apparently is was four yards off the right edge! Not on your Nelly Mister! It was at least 10 yards in from the cut, nearer the centre of the fairway than the edge. So I am now looking at a bunch of stats that are meaningless!

Surely that's the whole point of the edit function, civilian gps are only at the most 95% accurate to 3 metres.
Do you not check every round before uploading?

Also remember that the geofencing of a particular fairway might be slightly off.
