Game Golf Pro vs. Live

TM_HOYER · July 14, 2021

I have been away from the game for 1.5 years due to fibromyalgia but recently decided living as a zoned out zombie due to medicine is no way to live life. So I dropped the medicine and will put up with the pain. The zombie is gone and I am ready to start playing golf again. I used Game Golf Live and other than occasional GPS shot location issues (due to trees and large gut) it provided me good info on my game. About the time that I stopped playing, I got Game Golf Pro and it was a mess. I had to have additional tags sent to me because some just would not pair. I am putting new grips on the clubs and will put either Pro or Live tags on. Over the past 1.5 years, did the issues with GG Pro get fixed or would I be better off going the with GG Live tags.

For right now, I have the answer, Game Golf Live. When I tried to setup Game Golf Pro, only 10 of tags would connect and pair. Seven others, four originals and three replacements, were DOA. So in the mean time I will use Game Golf Live. Tagging each shot is not that big of a deal. It is easy to put it in my shot routine. I would occasionally miss tagging a putt which is easy enough to correct. Also I do not have the gut overhang that was causing GPS issues.

I did send an email to Game Golf support to see what I need to do get replacement. If it is a battery issue, it would been smart to develop the tag so the battery could be replaced. So we will see what happens.

FYI, I have a tutorial on replacing the battery in the original game golf, but this should apply to LIVE:

My dead battery issues are on the tag for Game Golf Pro. As it is, the Game Golf app did not want to allow me to assign the Game Golf Live tags to the clubs in my golf bag. So for right now, both Game Golf Live and Pro are a no go. So I will just go out play and get my yardages from my Skycaddie.

Tutorial to replace Game Golf Pro tag batteries is here https://vimeo.com/577953940

However unfortunately I just purchased a NEW Game Golf pro on ebay that didn't come with the battery replacement tool in this video and 9 tags batteries are dead!

Reaching out to Game Golf on whether the battery replacement tool can be purchased.
