Anyone try this out or have any feedback?

I considered this system. It looks like a next generation of Skygolf, which makes me wonder why they haven't done this.
One reason I say this is that Skygolf would have an advantage in they have over 30,000 courses mapped out. And, this is one of the biggest problems that Game Golf has; namely they don't have a lot of courses in their system. At least I couldn't find the courses I regularly play.
Another problem I found was that the program cannot differentiate finesse shots from full shots. For example, if you play a 50 yard bump & run with an 8 iron, the program will calculate that distance in your 8 iron stats. In other words:
- 8 iron average would be calculated as follows: 150 + 145 + 152 + 50 = 497/4 = 124.25 yds
versus
- your real average should be 150 + 145+ 152 = 447 / 3 = 149 yds.

I was also thinking about getting myself Game Golf, but thanks for the valuable insight, Steve! Is there any way to create an extra setting for "Bump & Runs," "Pitches," "Chips," or "Half Wedges"? Or maybe that's a future update for the software?
Best,

What happens if you are hitting into a 20 -25 mph wind or down wind? It doesn't take that into consideration? I would assume it would balance out over the long run.
