New TT Member Benefit: Play Smarter Golf with Arccos

I’m still trying to get an accurate count of putts with the Arccos deal. Let alone distance with a putter. Looks like too much work to relocate the pin on every round.
That is my biggest complaint but easy to adjust the number of putts. So far, the GPS is more accurate than my several year old watch. Arccos not only identifies the correct course, but the tee box as well. Supposedly I can upload modified courses from Garmin using blue tooth with my phone. But Garmin doesn’t seem to upload new or modified courses. Even as late as TPC Frisco, Garmin only had one course. If Arccos does update their database, better, the $200 per year will beat buying a $3-500 watch that is outdated.

I tried the Link setup for a shot period and returned it. While I don't doubt some level of "operator error", I felt that the numbers were skewed based upon the shot that you were taking. An example would be greenside chipping would lower the average yardage for say your PW/GW. Or using a mid-iron to punch out of trouble (yes, the ball doesn't always go where I want it to) affects those distances. Finally, bump & run shots with irons & hybrids alter the yardages.

Then there is remembering to hit the button for putts.

Finally, their setup with many clubs didn't necessarily speak to current club technology. I know my woods & hybrids by the loft, not necessarily as a 3 or 4 hybrid. Same goes for wedges.

And as noted, it didn't always pick up the shots, scoring, etc. And with the price, I didn't feel that there was the value.
