My GG H'cap is 16.6 despite my club h'cap being 19.3....issues with card in hand ? :-(

It's not exactly clear how GG calculates your handicap, even though it's probably safe to say it's similar to the USGA version (not that I know how that works...).

One thing I'm quite sure about is that GG doesn't use SSS (course rating), so if the SSS at the courses you play is different to par, that may be one reason why the handicaps are different.

There may be more reasons, but without knowing the exact method the GG handicap is calculated, we could only guess what the reasons for any difference may be.

Of course 'tournament anxiety' is absolutely a possible explanation as well...

To be fair my GG handicap has never been much different to my scoresaver 2 handicap

Hmmm not sure how it works either.
Only done 3 rounds and Mine is 9
will happily take that !!!

anybody else in cat 2 playing regularly?
want to see stats

Just done my 4th round with GG. Really is interesting. Im such a golf nerd.

Average distances still dont make any sense though. They really need options to remove shots for your averages.

You need more than 4 rounds of data to start seeing meaningful averages, and GG will discount shots in time such as chips or recoveries from under trees etc.

Re-engaging with my game golf. Just cleared out all of my previous stats, tagged up my clubs and the unit is on charge ahead of tomorrow's round of golf.
Went through a period of not using it, but need to more closely track my stats with a view to improvement.

Are GM challenges still being run?

How do you wipe stats, changing swing quite a bit and would be handy to reset

Easiest way, but maybe time consuming depending on amount, unsign the rounds you don't want and delete them.

Maybes make a new profile?

In a way setting a bookmark to compare pre changes would be handy

not sure that can be done other than remembering date

You can nerd up on my stats if you want. There dreadful bearing in mind but getting better.

You can filter stats by individual rounds so in effect you can.

That's good news. I played my first 9 with GG yesterday and the only 5 iron shots were chip and runs through trees. Makes my distances look even more erratic than they actually are!

Regarding results, just filter by rounds to see how your stats vary.

If you want to see how your club performance has changed with your swing change: You can creat "new" clubs in the "my golf bag" section by clicking on the "+" icon. Then simply move the tags to the newly created clubs.

If you then go to the "club performance" tab you'll see the new clubs directly above their respective "predecessor" and can compare averages and (length) dispersion. You can also filter the "off the tee" and "approach the green" tabs by club to see how the performance changed.

I'm a Gamegolf user and have visited the support site a few times. On there is a list of suggestions for improvement that you can vote on. Last night I got an email from game golf saying one of the items I voted on has been selected for implementation.

So, at some point in the future (timescale undetermined), they've agreed to change putter tagging. The suggestion I voted for was that you can set a preference for putter tagging. Either the first putter tag on the green, or the last (or none at all if you like the current way) will be taken as the pin position and not included as a shot played.

Sounds like a good improvement to me. Must remember to tag my putts more often now.

Id happily tag an extra time at the end of the hole (we all take the ball out of the hole anyway).

However, i dont really see the issue with it as it is, how hard is it to remember where the pin was!
