Game Golf Review.

And here's part 2 (and I got the plug for us in!): http://articles.gamegolf.com/article...s-on-game-golf

Game golf got in touch with me last week to do a little bio on my use of the system. They've turned it into a blog post here.

Apparently there is going to be a second part to this - I did try and get a plug in to OzGolf, so we'll see if that makes it in to the next part

This has been in my emails for about a week. Great article.

[BUSHY]

Gone and set up my account. All I need now is Santa to put one in my sack.

I'm going to run it side by side with my GetRealGolfStats subscription and see what kind of statistical analysis it gives me.

[Steve]

Seen you pop up Bushy

Yeah hope you don't mind, I started following a few people.

How much does it cost to keep all this going? Ie setup and ongoing? I have mobitee premium on my phone and with about the same effort as far as I can see it can track shots and score in real time but not accuracy etc. Would be interesting to be able to trial this system for a few weeks before buying.

I believe the only cost is the initial outlay for the unit plus any additional tags you need for replacement or lost tags.

Correct guru's??

[Buzz]

There is going to be an ongoing subscription in the future I believe.

Just joined up.
Santa has one for me next week!!!

They'd need to have more content that I couldn't get from elsewhere to justify that IMO

And here's part 2 (and I got the plug for us in!): http://articles.gamegolf.com/article...s-on-game-golf

I don't read this thread, and had no idea the forum would be getting a plug, so I was a little surprised when I got a notification for a twitter mention.

You don't read every post in every thread?!

I didn't know they were actually going to put the mention in - and no idea about the tweet - didn't even know there was an OzGolf twitter account!

Have we got a lot of (any) traffic from it?

The twitter account isn't used, as I see the forum as a form of social media, and think that discussions should be held here and not driven to other forms.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Have to find the new names and add them to my list

Also going to set up some more challenges and keep the results here. Maybe 1 month, 3 month and a year??

Might throw in some prizes and it's always fun to compete for something!

Hopefully they add new categories like fairways / scramble / putts in a round etc

[Buzz]

The only problem with the challenges is there is no way to take handicap into account, so really the contest is only down to single figure markers.

True true. I'll write them an email and see if they could add it as a feature

[coalesce]

Pretty sure I mentioned that in the 2nd article they did about me too

[LeftyHoges]

I'm sure the engineers here could come up with some sort of quadratic formulae to even out the stats.

[Daves]

I really hope game golf introduces analysis where you can select a hole and look at the last 20 times you played it' overplayed on the map. Would be the most Informative thing of all IMO.

Copied over here from the Stats thread. Yes, it would be handy.

I am very impressed with the enhancements that GG have implemented already, seems there is almost a weekly upgrade happening. Every time I have a look at the analysis sections, there seems to be something new. You can now select specific round(s) for analysis for example. And with my Bag Lotto, I have mirade of individual club info now, as well as the ability to look at collective club results e.g. All Drivers.

[Buzz]

I must check the game golf forums and see if anyone has already requested it

[Matt 3 Jab]

100%

Would be great to see how a hole is played. Like if you take driver you usually make bogey but if you take iron you make par 75% of the time. And would work in reverse by showing taking on the hole works most of the time etc

It's a great system. Love mine

[AndyP]

I need to go back and read this thread, because I have just received mine.

What are the key things that I need to know?

[coalesce]

Add tagging into your pre-shot routine.

Take a photo of your scorecard or something so you can use it when reviewing your round on your PC.

[Courty]

What coalesce said, but it should be noted that I ended up preferring tagging post-shot as it created less disruption. Experiment and go with what works best for you.

Ensure you tag your clubs exactly the same as the setup in your Gamegolf settings. It might be worth considering adding an extra 'club' for stuff ups (ie. Mishits or shots that miss target by miles due to hitting a tree etc.).

[Daves]

Ok, just thinking back;

1) it takes a few rounds before tagging becomes an automatic action. If you forget to tag before the shot, and you will, you can still tag after the shot or putt. It is easy to fix up in need when you download the round. Ditto if you double or triple tag, which will also happen, very easy to delete the "extras" later.

2) Set up a mishit tag, if you don't want bad mishits to distort your distance stats.

3) When you download a round, you will likely need to do some slight adjustments of shots. The map overlays are usually out a little bit and some shots that were middle of the fairway, or green, will show as being well offline, and vice versa. Just note the length and then adjust the position till it shows FIR, GIR or whatever the actual situation.These adjustments tend to become a matter of course, and take very little time. I find it a good time to rewind my round in my head to make sure the stats are right.
