@JohnJon, I had the V2 for about 3 months in 2018, I didn't like the battery life and accuracy it was recording my putts at. Would routinely show a 20fter for a tap in, so not very helpful. I've been using GolfPad GPS on my phone and Apple Watch since then. I got the V3 because they claimed the accuracy of the GPS got much better as well as the battery life. Both seem to be true, but I really like being able to see how my round is going on my phone, as it's going on, with the Shot Scope you cannot look at the round until afterward.

No reason we can't talk here JohnJon with one post. Feel free to use the built in message feature.

I have a Shotscope V3 for sale in Black. Played with it for 3 rounds and decided its not for me. $160 firm, free shipping in US. Comes with 16 tags and the box it came in. Supposed to be good for 10 hours of use, had more than half the battery left after my 4hr 20min round. Only accepting Paypal

and ordered! Normally I am an Amazon guy, but Shot Scope's website is offering 10% off.

Thanks for the quick response! Love the provisional option and maybe not being able to look back will encourage me to remember a little better

Two quick question for you, is there a way to go back mid round and look at an earlier shot? Often times I'll find myself with a similar distance to another hole and want to go back to see how far I hit the club I am thinking about hitting to make sure I don't need to club up/down. Also, I will often drop a 2nd ball if i chip the first one poorly to practice a little. Will Shot Scope record both of them?

When golfing alone, I prefer to play a full sized course so I can work on everything, but I love playing the Par 3s in my area with my wife. It lets us play cheaply, quickly and its fun for both of us to golf together. Sometimes I feel like I live in golf paradise. There are no less than 10 full length public courses , 3 private courses they I can only dream of, including Medinah, and at least four par 3s that are all within 20 minutes of my house.

This might be the single biggest seller of the product for me. I took tomorrow off to go golfing(now theirs a ton of rain in the forecast) and if Amazon did same-day delivery of it today I would have pulled the trigger. I am thinking I am going to order it before I play next weekend.

I don't mind having my phone in my pocket. I just keep it in a back pocket. Currently with Golf Pad GPS, I have to take it out after each hole to mark what club i used for each shot. Not required but then I can track my distances a little better. I feel like not having a watch really puts Arccos for me. I just don't think I'd use an Apple Watch for anything else, so tough to justify the expense.

My shot of the day was on the 6th hole at Mt. Prospect Golf Course. Its a wide open 465 yd uphill Par 4 with a green that slopes back to front. I pulled driver with visions of pummelling it out there 270+. I lined up to the right edge of the fairway thinking a nice easy draw. Unfortunately, I instead hit a nasty low hook. My drive went about 200yds and ended up in the left rough. Luckily it was sitting up. My laser was reading 225 to pin, so I pulled my 3 Hybrid hoping to get about 210 to 215 and some roll out of it. Instead I hit a beautiful draw this time that flew right over the flag stick and landed softly at 240 yards. I actually managed to putt decently for once and escaped with a par.

Has anyone been able to compare Arccos and the New Shot Scope? I really like the Watch feature showing distances to the greens. Arccos may provide this, but I don't have an Apple Watch, so it would be an additional purchase. I guess my main question is: are there any big ticket items missing from Shot Scope that Arccos provides? I assume since they the same price point but 1 comes with a watch, there must be some tradeoffs. I currently use Golf Pad GPS and a Magellan Echo watch that pairs with it. It shows my the distances to the green and I can click the watch to mark each shot, penalty, putt or delete a shot. It works great for on course play and I've logged over 200 rounds with it. However, the stats component is really just an afterthought and I would love to be able to get more out of it post round. Thanks!

I think I had my shot of the year on Monday night. I was playing Mt. Prospect Golf Course outside of Chicago in my golf league. The two previous holes I'd bombed my driver 280ish but wayward left and right ending up in bad lies. I got to the 480 yard Par 5 15th hole. It's a straight hole, but it has a pretty narrow fairway that is best suited for draw. Typically, I will hit hybrid off the tee to set myself up for a nice layup. At 200 yds, its about 30 yards wide, at 250 yards its 20 yards wide before opening up again. I decided to hit driver because I was down in my match and needed to make something happen after my opponent hit a decent driver about 220ish towards a right fairway trap. We are playing with the wind this hole which is blowing decently and the fairways are pretty firm because we haven't had rain in a few weeks. I lashed a beautiful baby draw out there. I felt good about the distance, but twice before I've had similar 280yd drives that ended on a steep hill on the right side leaving me with no shot at the green. I get up to the hill where I figure I should be and its not there. We keep walking forward and eventually find it in the rough on the right side for a 348yd drive! I've never hit one anywhere close to that distance in my life. I had 109 left to a front pin so I figure I'd hit a gentle sandwedge and hope I can leave a decent eagle opportunity. Instead I pull it left and long. Then I chunk the chip. Then I chunk another chip into a trap. I actually hit a decent shot out of the trap and 2 putt for a 7. Long live the high handicapper.

Golf league was snowed out for the second week in a row. Last week it had all melted by the afternoon and I found an open course to play but this week no such luck.

Last Saturday, in 37 degree weather I got in 27 holes at Mt. Prospect Golf Course, I played the back 9, then all 18. Shot 54, 99(46-53) On Monday, I played Bridges of Poplar, got in 9 holes before the rain turned to snow. Shot 54, with 5 OB/Water On Thursday I played Mt Prospect again, but this time it was 68 degrees and shot 101(59-42). Then went to Schaumburg Golf Course up the road and shot 53.

Hole of the year so far for me. To set the stage, I am in Maui on vacation at the end of Feb. I've golfed twice already, shot 111 at Wailea Gold and 110 at Kapalua Plantation, so I didn't have much confidence heading to Wailea Emerald. Par 5 9th hole and I smoke my drive for the first time that day, 260+ right down the middle. I have a downhill approach to the green, about 185 from the front so I pull 6 iron. Hoping to hit a nice fade somewhere close to the left side of the FW so I can chip it close. Instead I hit a draw that looks like its ticketed for the front bunkers. It carries the bunkers, hits the right rough pin high and hops onto the green rolling out to about 6 feet for a 198yd shot. As you might guess, I miss the eagle by about 3 inches but convert the birdie. Shot 94 that day to give me a lot more confidence heading into the season.
