The brainchild of John McGuire and a small team of engineers at Active Mind Technology, Inc. Game Golf (an Indiegogo start-up!) is a small wearable device that allows golfers of all handicaps to accurately track rounds of golf quickly and effectively – capturing stats, trends and information like club distance, putts per round, handicap, GIR%, driving accuracy and more.
How it works: From everything we’ve seen Game Golf seems remarkably simple to use – encouraging golfers to play golf without having to tinker with buttons or interfaces along the way. The whole system consists of one wearable device, “The Brain” if you will, and 18 “Tags” which screw into the that tiny hole at the end of your golf club grip. These Tags are individually labeled for each club in your bag. Once all of the tags have been properly applied you’re ready to play.
As you play, all that is required to track your round is to simply tap your club grip to “The Brain” (which should be worn on your belt) before taking a swing. The system recognizes which tag/club you’re using and begins tracking stats and info for that club until you switch clubs (by tapping a new tag) for your next shot. After the round you can link Game Golf to your PC (or iOS device) and get all the stats from your round and even share them over Facebook with your golfing buddies.
Game Golf in-use:
Game Golf seems like an incredibly easy and effective way to track your golf game. In the near future we plan to go in-depth with a hands-on review of our own. Some things we like from the get-go is its simple operation, comprehensive break-down of stats and nearly invisible footprint. However its lack of Android compatibility is a little disappointing.
