My problem with going through the putt screens is sometimes it will show "Pick up" The only way to get back to approach is to walk away from green at that point. It's one reason I am still flirting with the idea of manual putting. I don't think the putt screen occurs until I activate it and can see distance of last shot etc while on the green ??

I notice that sometimes, too. But it seems that if I walk far enough off the green, an "X" at the top-left appears that will remove the putting display and revert to the shot display. However, it doesn't seem matter whether you're in Automatic or Manual putting mode. It's happened in both scenarios to me. I still much prefer the Manual mode (once you get used to pressing buttons, that is)

Ok I confess - I don't know the difference or the benefits of manual putting over auto. SS instructions only show how to change the settings from one to another but not explain the difference. FYI I do have the Putter tag installed, my watch is set on auto and I have been recording the # of putts over the hole. 

Geez, I'm sorry. I just realized that I never replied back to you even though a few others echoed my thoughts. My experience with Manual vs Auto putting is that it seems more accurate and dependable. I'm not sure whether the auto putts that I know were missed was because I didn't linger at the putt long enough (read: walked up and swatted it out of frustration!!) or some other reason. And I noticed that additional putts could be recorded on Auto if the watch synced with the putter before I was over mine. But manual putting, so far, has been 100% accurate when I press the button.

BTW, I used strong double sided tape to attached the sensor to my putter. I just thought it'd be easier to remove than glue should I need to.

Thx, Matt, got it. I should've been more clear .. my question was actually for @Larryw and how does he keep track of which driver + shaft combo is which for which shot, but I'm guessing he's doing that manually in his spreadsheet?

Yes, I keep a list on paper of which shaft is which color in Shot Scope. I put that color in my bag for the day. Shot Scope keeps the stats by color so that part works fine and keeps the stats separate.

I still think it would be nice to be able to "name" my clubs, something like "floppy" for a wedge, or "only trouble" for my 1 iron. (which I use mostly as a punch out for a wayward shot). Would make my stat sheet look so much nicer than "LW" in blue and "X2" in black.

I just got my V3 in the mail this afternoon and am playing tomorrow, but it's a scramble format.  If I'm not playing my ball all the time, I won't get accurate numbers, will I?

Not really. But you can just use GPS mode instead of GPS and Track.

Correct. But if you want to record a particularly good shot of yours that doesn't get used in the scramble, you could go to your ball and pick up another club making sure it syncs with the watch before moving on. THAT shot will be accurately recorded. (But beware, you'll get some funky numbers for the next shot you record. Just remember what you did so you don't think you shanked the shot after the beautiful drive!!!)

Once you sync the completed round with the app, you can then look at that shot in the hole-by-hole portion of the app. My Wednesday league plays a 2-man scramble once a month and I've twice had a particularly good drive that we couldn't use because we had to get my partner's shot in. I got it recorded so I could see it later. And even though I couldn't get that shot into the Performance records (only edited & signed off rounds get into the statistics), it gave me an avenue to show off. Hey! Fat-mouthin' rights are important, too!!

If you're using Manual Putt mode (going to try it myself) do you even need the "P" tag..?

No, tag not needed for manual putting mode.

Agree! I believe the watch is the actual GPS locator, the tag simply triggers the watch to mark a position. Pressing the button eliminates the need for the tag to mark a position.

I will say that I'm finding the V3 far superior to the V2 in regards to use - However I did encounter a couple of issues with my last round.  The color face display is so easy to see in the bright Florida Summer Sun - huge win for me.

 

However I did encounter some issues on Sunday.  It failed to register any of my shots on number 1.  I was unable to accurately add the shots that I hit in - I got it to register that I made three but all it did was divide each shot on a straight line from the tee to the hole (which means across a row of OB houses) So effectively it though that I hit 179 yard drive, followed by an 80 yard 9 wood and 80 yard hole out with my lob wedge - In reality it was a about a 225 yard drive to the left side of the fairway (sharp dogleg right), 175 yard 9 wood off the back of the green and then a holed out 25 yard pitch shot with the lob wedge.

I had the divide in half on two other shots that I added after they weren't recorded.  

Is there any remedy for that?

I usually have to edit that in the Shot Scope desktop site as best I can, its never great when this happens

This ^^ You can edit those shots in the dashboard when you sign off the round.

That makes sense - of course I'm now two days removed from that round - I may give it a try - I will be sure to do it same day should the same thing happen (when the same thing happens) going forward.  I'm joining a new club - the shot scope v2 always seemed to have trouble with the first hole whenever I played there using it so I'm not shocked that I had issues on Sunday.  I know that the hole was redesigned at some point over the course of the past 10 years.  It used to be a par 5 and was shortened in order to build a driving range.  I'm wondering what would happen if I turned the watch on over by where the old first tee was.

Rev!

If you go to the shotscope site, and look under support they have an email address/team specifically there to fix course mapping issues.  I had an issue at one of the local courses that had flipped 9's. I emailed them, and they had it fixed within a couple days. They gave me some direction for deleting and re-adding it(I don't remember what they said). But it instantly solved that issue. 

 

So if any of you have any course that maps wrong, send them an email with what is wrong and they seem to be very quick in fixing it.

Initially I was always looking at my watch to see if it captured the last club hit and thinking if it didn't I could make a notation on my scorecard to edit it on the dashboard. Fortunately, my V3 has missed very few shots over the past 30 + rounds, especially compared to my wife's ARRCOS. However, I did notice when I set her's up a few weeks ago on the desktop site there was a notation in red adjacent to our course to update it. Could that be the issue? 

Also just curious which course did you join?

I’m joining Seminole Lake CC

 

Its a better fit than my current club.

Ooooo, that looks like a hell of a nice course and the membership is a great deal.

It’s actually cheaper than what they show online. I was pleasantly surprised when I chatted with the membership director on Sunday.

The 279 for a single full golf is all inclusive - range, bag storage, etc., etc., etc.  Everything except cart fees.  They also have one that is 219 per month and then you pay anything else al la carte - I think that I will do that and just add the range for $30 a month - 

 

It's a very walkable course and there's no walking fee after noon for members.  It's less than half the cost of my current club and the course is in better shape (my current club is a Fazio course, it's a stronger, better course but they have some significant issues to address starting with 6 or 7 fairways.)  It also has a better array of games for my work schedule - I'd say that Bayou, my current club, is far better for a really strong player or for a retiree who lives in the area - as much as I've enjoyed my time there it is not a good fit for me.
