Bringing the knowledge of a golfing Yoda and statistical insight of a course trained Robocop. You may be mistaken for thinking this is something from a science fiction convention. In reality the ‘Game Golf’ is the latest cutting edge creation from the IT golf geniuses striving to improve your game.

Having waited excitedly for its arrival, we were desperate to test this ground breaking device. Did it live up to our expectations, let’s have a look…

Features

Initial reports that the ‘Game Golf’ would offer detailed and comprehensive descriptions of each shot were accurate. It has the ability to map an entire round, measuring distances, landing spots and golf ball flights.

It brings an interactive element to your game and expands the involvement further than your playing partners.

It can also correlate information and express it in a format that makes sense to all players.

The Actual Device – How does it work?

The device is connected to a belt or pocket and activated each shot via a simple tap of the grip. The club is fixed with a small tag (each package complete with 18) that registers with the system and identifies the relevant information before the shot takes place. This is repeated before each and every swing.

We found it easy to setup and simple to operate although forgetting to log a club before swinging did throw the system off. 

After the round the data is logged via USB to a computer and optionally, uploaded to the world of twitter, facebook and other means of social media. It therefore serves two platforms; improving your game and sharing it globally.

It was a pleasant surprise to find the operating of the system straightforward and even useable for technophobes.

Connection

The device generally gets a signal anywhere and can carefully decode your round. The Golf GPS is pretty accurate. Like most forms of communicative technology, its ability does rest in the hands of third party satellite.

Its major selling point is the ability to produce analysis in forms of graphs, simple stats and course mapping. It does offer valuable insight in seconds which can really offer a productive improvement to your course management.

Costs

It actually hits the shelves at a price of £159.99 which is extremely reasonable given the technology involved. There are no hidden extras and it comes with a warranty and money back guarantee.

It is only available from selected sellers which includes Foremost Golf, one of the UK’s leading golf suppliers.

Overall

The developers of the Game Golf system are certainly onto something. It will seriously aid your ability in understanding your game.

For social media lovers, it brings some fun to the party.

We would certainly recommend the abilities of the ‘Golf Game’ and its easy use features.

Become the fountain of statistical knowledge in seconds and put Yoda to shame…
