    Game Golf tracks your swings

    Like it or not, the game of golf is all about statistics…scrambling percentages, puts per round, greens in regulation play and fairway hits. It’s enough to boggle even the career mathematician. But if you have the latest Game Golf device, the numbers become much easier to manage, and access to those numbers can improve your game dramatically.

    Game Golf belt unit

    Game Golf is a GPS system that tracks all those stats and more, using a device that clips on your belt.  Once doing that, you can keep track of every shot you play. For example, you can find out such things as knowing how far you actually hit each club.

    Game Golf Uses Golf Club Tag Monitors

    Besides the Game Golf main unit, there are also 18 tags for your golf clubs, 14 for the set you play with and four spares. There’s also a cable to link the unit to your PC or Mac for uploading each round and charging the battery. You’ll need to set up an account on the Gamegolf website and download software to your computer. Once you’ve done that, you simply input some details about the clubs you use, and you’re ready to use the device.

     

    Using the Device

    Game Golf is a breeze to setup and use. Before each shot, you simply tag the club you are going to use by placing the handle, with its appropriate red tag in the butt, next to the unit on your belt. A beep and a vibration will let you know that the tag has been logged. Then play your shot as usual, remembering to hold your pose. When you get to your ball, the tagging of the next club you use tells the system how far your first shot went.  You now have your first bit of data, which is a series of data that will be collected throughout your entire round.Game Golf tallies longest distance

    Uploading Game Golf Stats

    Each round needs to be uploaded to your computer and the Game Golf site so you can then access your collated stats over your computer or smartphone. Before you finish your round though, you can add those shots that you didn’t tag out on the course, and make sure the unit tallies with your scorecard.  GPS is accurate to about 10-15 feet, as we discovered, so you’ll have to make sure you’re completely synced and that you’re online before each shot.

    Invaluable Training Tool

     The more data Game Golf has, the more accurate the information you will get out your entire game, and that comprehensive information can improve that game of yours. Over time, Game Golf will let you know things such as approach shot accuracy, driving accuracy, and the true distances you hit each club…among other things.

    Game Golf measures accuracy

    Besides being an invaluable training tool, Game Golf can discern certain trends in your play, and you’ll be better able to judge which parts of your game need improvement and work. You should then also be able to see your golf stats, and your game, improving in just a few weeks….maybe days.

    Game Golf is Social

    Game Golf has added a social element to the product by creating its own golf community. You can search other golfers to see how they’re playing, as well as set up and enter various challenges. These might include average number of greens placed, number of fairway hits, driving distance, or really anything you’d like for which you’d like to set a challenge. You can also compare stats with professionals, such as Jim Furyk, Lee Westwood and Graeme McDowell, endorsers of Game Golf. It’s merely a click or two to see how your driving stats compare with the pros.

    Bottom Line

    Game Golf is pretty cool and offers significantly more tracking and analysis of your overall game than anything out on the market. Aside from that, the company has been making frequent improvements to the software and stats in the few months the product has been on the market.

    The GPS technology actually works better than we would have suspected, offering enough accuracy to really track balls and swings with true, real life positioning. This is one golf gadget that not only claims it will improve your golf game, itactually will. The Golf game retails for $199.
