What has me interested in the game golf is how effortless it is, it tracks the stats with out you having to input anything. I'm very lazy =P checking out oobgolf right now though.
New Game Golf system

There are a few of us who got in early on this and are waiting for the systems to show up at our doors. Likely won't ship for several months. Here is the thread on it: http://www.thehackersparadise.com/forum/showthread.php?41727-New-Game-Golf-system

I like the idea of the product. Problem with cheap apps is how cumbersome they are to enter your data after each hole, and how inaccurate the yardage recordings are in my experience. Also doesn't have the social aspect. Anyway, I don't think the device is worth $250 myself.

Any more updates on this one?

Nope, thanks for bringing it up so I can be pissed about the fact that they are "working around the clock" which apparently only gives them time to update those who have given them money 3-4 times a year.

Yep, no beta testing for me but it sounds like the start of my 2014 season is a real possibility.

Likewise, most courses in South Dakota close Nov 1st... I hope the testing goes well and we're able to use it next spring!

Interesting in reading reviews on this, though I'm a bit leery of golf electronics after my experience with the SwingTip.. on my 2nd device and have spent more time at the range trying to make the stupid thing work than I have actually practicing.

Well I just spent the last hour or so reading the thread for this device. First off...sorry to hear about the misfortune of all those who put up the cash expecting to have the device in hand by mid July. You think a company would commit to those who made the investment.
As like the others who made comments I would also be interested as to the device tracks tap ins (gimmies), putts from the fringe, and so on.
My second question would be to the topic of battery life. I know after several chargings in my cell phone I have noticed battery life diminish. Company states 8 hrs or two rounds...but what does that battery life look after 20 rounds...are you making it through 9 holes??? Or will we see golf carts now with charging devices?
Interesred to see what testing reviews look like aftrr oroduct is released. Good luck.

Yup, I'm a lefty.
Just spent the better part of my morning reading this thread as well. While I really like the idea behind the device, I still prefer a pencil and one of these

I'm with you for the most part...why would I want to broadcast to the world how bad I actually am? On the other hand, the ability to record numerous stats is kind of cool.

A bit cold at times out here, but can usually get out most of the time. I guess it's not an official season for GHIN's, but can still get out and about to play. Most courses stay open as weather permits.

Is there any update as to when people that "purchased" will get their devices?
