So these apps (Game Golf and GolfPadGPS) have an in-app lock screen that is supposed to keep the screen on but prevent accidental touch inputs while the phone is in your pocket.
This is because android phones (at least samsung) need the screen on to register NFC tags. Only after figuring out workarounds could I use it the whole round. GAME GOLF "TAGGING" + ANDROID APP EXPERIENCE I've been very disappointed with the experience and had to ditch using the NFC Tagging in my first three attempts. So I bought the NFC Tags, thinking it'd make it super easy to track every shot in GG. I liked the visual displays, especially the graphics of Approaches to the green from different distances, and off the tee. Tracking all club distances I find less helpful than choosing particular (full, non windy) shots to track.Īnyway, I had tested the Game Golf app before purchasing tags to test out the stats and found them good enough. I was intrigued by the shot by shot tracking to see it laid out on a map, but not sure how valuable any of it would be.
I recently purchased Game Golf Tags and have been testing with my Android device (Galaxy s5) and using the Game Golf free android App. Another bonus, Golfshot pairs well with Android Wear watches, though you cannot enter putts or sand shots on the watch, so scoring would still be done on the phone. Does everything it does well and things are pretty to look at. I love the email detailed scorecard I get after a round. Never had any serious complaints about Golfshot. I have/had been a longtime Golfshot user. Note, cost considerations are not taken into account. Here's some thoughts, your comments are welcome. I'm in between golf tracking technologies.

Or is a detailed scorecard (putts, GIR, sand, penalties) sufficient? What solution do you use and why? When it opens in 2022, you can be sure Impinj employees will be among the first in line to experience how RAIN RFID transforms this traditional pastime into a high-tech experience.
The new venue in Renton will host a restaurant and bar, an event space, and 102 outdoor bays for hitting RAIN RFID-embedded golf balls. Perhaps this is why, unlike traditional golf, a little over half of TopGolf customers are in the 18-34 age demographic. When you add in live music, food, and other forms of entertainment, TopGolf's venues provide a new way of experiencing a driving range. With more than 70 locations globally and 20 million customers annually, TopGolf has combined technology and competition to capture a unique niche in the entertainment market, building a fanbase of traditional golfers and non-golfers alike with what’s been described as a driving range meets bowling alley. These connections provide rich, real-time data and insight - such as how close to the target you hit your golf ball. Players can focus on the fun, social aspect of the game - and keep that one friend honest about their score - thanks to TopGolf's automated scoring, ball tracking, and recording of player information.
RAIN RFID is a passive, battery-free wireless technology system that uses radio waves to identify and find objects, connecting those items to the internet via a tag chip and reader system. At TopGolf, golf balls embedded with RAIN RFID chips and RAIN RFID reader-enhanced targets automatically record and tabulate different game metrics in real-time. What makes TopGolf different from your average driving range? RAIN RFID. Impinj is excited to welcome another RAIN RFID enthusiast to the neighborhood: TopGolf is opening a new high-tech entertainment venue in Renton, Washington, just south of Impinj’s Seattle headquarters. Here’s how this popular experience - a cross between driving range and bowling alley - works using RAIN RFID.
