HOW TO CHEAT AT GOLF (and get away with it)!

[@danieldudley5852]

I love using Arccos. It does have a tournament mode, then it’s just a gps device. I LOVE going over my stats at the end of the round.

[@milton359]

If the pros use a greens elevation map then why can't you use the same info from a watch

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

It would certainly save green reading time and hence round time.

not illegal to use topographical heat maps. just cant use the option that actually calculates the break for you

I bought the Garmin S62 based on your review about a year ago. Super helpful. love having range to hazards, course layouts, and the range to front, middle, back of green. I also wear it pretty much every day as I workout a lot and use the various fitness settings and metrics. Great watch, it's a digital watch for us "mechanical" watch nerds. Actually...that title might go to the TAG...but it's way overpriced.

[@LetsPlayThru]

It’s such an awesome all arounder. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it.

Currently Using Arccos. As a new golfer, it helps me dialed in my club yardage and gives me training tips after each round.

[@davidfulton9851]

Love the videos gabe. This is defo my favourite golf KZbin channel at the moment. Keep up the great content.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Much appreciated! Hopefully we can stretch this moment a bit longer 😃

I bought a Cobra Speedzone from 2019, I get the club and find out the Arcoss sensors where never turned in, So I now have Arcoss for all my clubs and it only costs me the subscription. Love the program. I also have the Range Finder I won from your channel last spring (hard to use, my hand shakes due to Carpal Tunnel) But when i do get a bead it is great. Other then that that is it. Have a great day Gabe.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Score!!!!

[@restey5979]

I've been using the SingU app on my phone and the Precision Pro range finder. SwingU does much of what the Arccos and other systems do but with slightly inconvenient manual club entry, rather than buttons, for each shot to build the database for club recommendations and tracking rounds. Lots of tech to help us around a course. I enjoy your content.

[@LetsPlayThru]

How accurate do you find the distances?

[@davewold107]

I use swing U also. Premier package. It is exceptionally accurate and after a few rounds gets to know club length and will recommend the club. Mapping is great, keep scores, tracks handicap, free lessons and much more.

[@bathman6366]

Man, I'm here for anything that helps me with this frustrating game even if it's barely legal! I love the weather data option on that rangefinder. We get 4 seasons in one day here in the UK, and often times I can hit anything between a 6 and a 9 iron to the first par 3 at my course. That info would give me an edge!

[@LetsPlayThru]

heck yeah, golf is hard enough, haha

[@davidcole2337]

I uses Swing U. GPS and Tracks Score.Helps you learn club distance are. And provide you recommend club based on slope and distance includIng wind direction

[@hoppman6649]

I have the Bushnell XE Pro rangfinder, great rangefinder but I had to send it back in as the rubber eye piece kept coming off and wasn't quite designed correctly. Should be back in a day or two and I am interested to see how they made the eye piece stay on better.

[@geoffcohen613]

Still use a yardage book (in metres) for my local course.Measure Front, middle, back. Find that book helps focus and concentrate.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Love that, so true it keeps your head in it

Thank my friend. Stay cool down there!

I use golfgps with the club tags, a cheaper version of the Arcos, also has the ability to link up to my samsung smart watch using Tizen OS, which not a lot of golf apps do...

[@bharms4923]

Don't forget about the cheapest cheat tool out on the market. It's free, comes in left and right, and helps improve golf ball lies anywhere on the course. Foot has revolutionized golf since the very beginning!

[@LetsPlayThru]

🤣🤣🤣 legit laughed out loud, thanks Brandon

[@anthonyat2401]

Cheating with the green topography seems to be (co-incidental, or not) available in only the US. I have never found a course they have bothered to map.

[@fuzzybanana3870]

I dont consider any one of those illegal tourney play or not. Its only the pretentious PGA that says they are illegal, yet they require caddies that, if good, offer more info than any one of those devices. None of us are pros, use whatever can help.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Agree, having a caddie is basically having the human equivalent of any of this tech. I sure wish I could afford one every day, but 10% of my earnings wouldn't have them sticking around long! 😂

[@fuzzybanana3870]

@@LetsPlayThru I concur. I would be the only golfer in the history of game to be fired by caddie. 🫣🫣

[@steviek6484]

I can’t commit to a watch because I don’t want to buy it and find out later it doesn’t have half the courses I olay

[@LetsPlayThru]

Best to ask them in advance, manufacturers should be able to supply a list or confirm if it's on there or not.

[@jdstarek]

I've played from CA to MO and have yet to run into a course the S62 doesn't recognize.

[@clydesandry5351]

Please note everyone. DON'T BUT THIS IF YOU LIVE IN EUROPE. None of the 'Course view' or green view work. All you get is basically 'Distances to the green' ..... I know because I've just bought one and the manual states this is the case😢 Why Amazon would sell this in Europe showing all the features, when they know they don't work ? Mine goes back tomorrow 🤥

[@PaddyP538]

I like to think of them as tools rather then cheating! 😉

[@LetsPlayThru]

I’m on board with that

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

There is an argument that all tech is cheating. Would Bobby Jones use tech if he was alive today, or would his integrity prevent him. Part of the sport is making judgements based on experience. Do I use tech? Yes but not on the course - toptracer at the range and the R10 at home.

[@restey5979]

Weren’t caddies the human equivalent? A lot of course and golf knowledge in those guys still today. Perhaps more entertaining then a watch on one’s wrist though😆

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

@@restey5979 I’ll give you that but not many club golfers get a caddy, which adds to your argument. But eye balling and knowing your game is a huge part of club golf. Where is the challenge in knowing which distance and which club?

[@restey5979]

@@andrewgudgeonobe2721 As I learn to play this game at one course I'm getting familiar with what distance what club on this one course. If I understand you correctly you're suggesting that the skill/ability to estimate distances, wind, slope etc on a strange course is an important part of the game and the offloading that knowledge onto a machine of some kind is "cheating". I "agree" only in that these are wonderful skills to have and develop. The practicalities however are against it. Like practice rounds are "cheating" if one player has a number of them and another has never played the course. That's an advantage that the technology levels out some. I've also noticed that the tech speeds play when used well and that seems to be, for better or worse, a desirable goal. The more rounds I accumulate the less I'm relying on the tech .. so I guess that's a good thing. In the absence of knowledgeable playing partners and caddies the tech has helped me learn my way around. Now tournament play is another story ..... how much help is too much? Watching a documentary on "Loopers" it was clear that having a good or especially great caddie .. one who may have special knowledge .. was a distinct advantage over the years. Was that cheating? Don't know.

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

@@restey5979 you make some good points. But I grew up in a world without tech and my golf mates and I will not play with gadgets on the course, for us it is about best player winning nor the one with the most tech.
