Spotted: President Obama Uses Game Golf
Game Golf, the digital tracking application that records every shot played during a round of golf, has a brand new fan. And not just any fan. United States President Barack Obama was spotted this week with the GAME GOLF tracking sensor clipped to his belt, using the platform to track his performance.
According to sources at Active Mind Technology, the company responsible for developing the platform, it is hopeful that President Obama will publicly post his stats for interactivity among its users.
GAME GOLF was officially launched at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this past January, and has quickly garnered acclaim for it’s innovative use of technology to capture the true distances and direction of shots hit with each club in a golfer’s bag. Additional features, like Game Golf’s new Shot Performance Analysis tool, can help golfers visualize their tee shot and approach shot tendencies to formulate a better tee-to-green plan, according to the company.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.
Let’s get to the gifts.
Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo
We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.
STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover
If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.
Why Golf: Putting Thing
When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.
OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes
Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
Therabody Theragun Relief
A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
World Cup golf apparel
Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.
FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes
Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.
Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker
Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.
Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.
It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
From the listing:

I play golf with 3 friends. Two of us are Republicans and two of us are Democrats. We remain good friends and still go on buddy golf weekends together because we made a rule years ago that we DON’T DISCUSS POLITICS! Can we do the same here please at golfwrx ?

Aug 14, 2014 at 7:22 pm
Amen. GWRX, seriously, in posts like these it’s in everyone’s best interest to just include a line saying that comments will be moderated and overtly partisan, political, offensive ones won’t be tolerated. Lots of other websites do this.

Tried Game Golf — great idea but remembering to tap every stroke was impossible. Had to return it. Also tried Zep but found out after I got it home I had to select each club on a phone before each shot. Went back too. Now looking at https://arccosgolf.com/ – its Game Golf without the tapping, apparently. Won’t get it though until they come up with a Windows phone-based program.

You build the tagging into your routine, after one or two rounds it becomes second nature. It is designed this way for two reasons from what I read 1) the tagging itself is behavioral technique that allows you to focus/get in the zone i.e. tag and go – major reason why GMAC, Jim Furyk, Lee Westwood, US Golf Channel and the PGA of America to name but a few are behind this product 2) any interaction with your phone on the course (i.e.) no device would not be permissible under the rules of golf. As such the US PGA and British PGA have approved this device to be used in tournament play.
Otherwise it would not be allowed.
That is part of the problem with the other devices you mentioned.
Anyways – happy golfing y’all!

Early signs Alzheimer’s RGB? GG is far superior and being a Techie nut I’ve looked into the Arccos product, much bigger, more expensive to replace if it goes wrong and does not conform to the rules of golf (just about sums it up).
GG probably the best bit of kit to introduced in the last decade (certainly the most interesting)…
birdiexris
Sep 16, 2014 at 10:04 am
I just wish it were a little less expensive for what it does. It doesn’t give yardage, etc – which makes it conform to tournament play when that isn’t allowed, but i feel its still a little bit expensive. I see it recently came down a bit to $199. That’s getting towards where i may think about getting it. Perhaps early next season i’ll pick one up. Or maybe when it goes to $150.

WITB would be cool. If he posts stats I think it would help game golf. I am still hoping my wife buys me one. Cause I know she will be pissed if I spend 250$ on something that is golf related again.

I’ve seen it somewhere before, he was playing Nike VR full cavity irons. Could be different now though.
Jeff
Aug 13, 2014 at 11:58 pm
I exists but its old. He plays Nike VR full cavities. Carries like 17 clubs too. 2 Putters. I’ll look for it, its one of my favorite threads on this site.
Robeli

17 Clubs. Why I am not surprised. Just like his Presidency. No respect for the laws.

It’s Bush’s fault, right Desmond? And what about racism? You forgot that one. Face it, Obama is a product of affirmative action policies. A front man for George Soros “open borders” society. A radical left wing community organizer. How did he get to Harvard when he flunked out of Columbia? Explain that for us Desmond. Some of us are sick of this fraud. Its as simple as that.

Nice spot on comments. Two putters??? Wow his putting is indecisive just like his stance on ISIS in Iraq. On the comments below, you have to remember just how many of the drones have emotionally invested themselves in President Obama.

This is a discussion and opinion thread Tim…..whether you like it or not……if WRX is going to put up an article about the POTUS (who has better things to do right now than playing golf), then comments both positive and negative had better be expected. The only people it is going to offend are the idiots that voted for him…..twice……sorry for you if you fall into that group.

Desmond

Take it somewhere else…
At this time period during their presidencies, Bush had 407 days of vacation, Obama? A paltry 159.
But anytime a POTUS is playing golf or promoting someone’s product, it’s generally good for the game and product.
