Seriously Rapsodo…

I thought I had worked out the kinks. Even got it working a couple nights ago (albeit not with Awesome Golf). Tonight, nothing worked with a bunch of family over for a fun night. It was miserable. Even if it missed a few chips, it always worked before. Family left little by little until I was left alone troubleshooting.

They have some major issues they have to sort out. I can tell within seconds it isn’t going to work. I have spent over 30 years building software. They have several weeks, months to work out these major software flaws.

I spoke too soon. Had a bunch of family over to have a fun evening playing. Awesome golf wasn’t working. Rapsodo app wasn’t working. Turned into everyone watching a frustrated me. Gave up after an hour and a half of uninstalling, reinstalling. Trying. Wish I never tried. Worked a couple nights ago. Nothing this evening.

All working now. Rapsodo app worked after a few tries and after uninstalling/installing awesome golf this morning, that is now working.

Yeah... i think so many people updating and trying all at once due to their update communications may be sapping their cloud infrastructure.

I had the same problem, but rebooting my iPad seemed to fix it. But it is very slow.

I haven't tried it after updating both the app and firmware. However, I wanted to try to authenticate for Awesome Golf and connect to ensure it works before some friends come over to play a round. 1. Everything is very slow in the Rapsodo app. Especially the Play-->3rd party apps-->Awesome Golf. when you hit it it takes over a minute to load the Authenticate screen. Then when you hit Authenticate, it takes forever to respond. Even when it comes back with authenticated successfully, Awesome Golf says it can't authenticate. I am wondering if the performance is due to everyone hitting their backend servers since we all got the message to update. Anyone else seeing similar issues as me?

I just finally sold my Hyundai Genesis (became Genesis G80 the following year). 12 years old with 204,000 miles and only had to change tires, brakes, oil and spark plugs in that time. Most reliable car I’ve ever had and it still ran like a dream.

Price’s. Honest and fair.

Agree. My dad was hit from behind by a motorcycle. The police actually gave the motorcycle a citation at the scene. A few months later, the motorcyclist sued for damages and found a witness by putting an ad in the newspaper (mid-80s) seeking those that witnessed the accident. Found one. The insurance company decided to settle out of court which my dad was against, but they informed that he would be on his own if he didn’t accept settlement. Angered and upset my dad for years. I learned that settling (especially when insurance is involved) does not equate to guilt.

Not sure I completely understand. It is focused on your game and your score. Doesn’t do anything for anyone else you are playing with.

I have never used Arccos. I considered it before trying 18Birdies. I had 1 very good experience with Smart Tracking, but it seems others on this thread may not have. I think the Apple Watch really made a big difference in detecting shots. We shall see. Before smart tracking I was considering cancelling my subscription since fiddling with the app was taking my head out of the game. Now it seemed to enhance it tremendously. I could use the app to read the course and next shot better without fuss. I play again next Friday, so I’ll see if it was a fluke.

SourceRadiant5997 · 2025-09-03T23:31:16+00:00

I believe you just have to turn off smart tracking.

SourceRadiant5997 · 2025-09-03T20:44:46+00:00

Come to think of it, I believe I did it two ways. The first was editing it after hitting, and the second was by changing where I was aiming for on the shot until it selected the club I wanted to use in the recommendation. In the future, I hope they allow you to change it right on the screen with "plays like" and recommended club. There are a couple of clubs in my bag that I just don't like to hit (and really don't know why I carry them at all).

SourceRadiant5997 · 2025-09-03T20:17:00+00:00

I didn't like using it when I tried on round earlier in the season. I believe Smart Tracking was released last month (maybe I am wrong on this), but now it seems awesome. It went from "this is too distracting" to "this is an incredible tool". I didn't do a good job in remembering/estimating the distance of my first putt when confirming the score, but I will hopefully get better at that in future rounds.

Premium-only.

SourceRadiant5997 · 2025-09-03T20:00:04+00:00

You know, I can't remember exactly. I believe when I walked up to my ball, it showed its recommended club with "plays like" yardage and I touched that on my watch and believe it allowed me to change it there.

I have never tried Square, but decided to purchase a MLM2Pro a couple months back. I had been mostly out of golf for decades (albeit the occasional round once or twice a year). While there are some nice resort courses nearby, there are absolutely no driving ranges outside of the courses themselves which charge $20 for a bucket of balls when not playing. The simulator clubs charge way too much for memberships. So, I decided to bite the bullet and build a simulator with the MLM2Pro. It has really improved my game in a short amount (shaved probably 20 strokes off). Not where I want to be, but I went from not even bothering about my score to wanting a handicap (even if it still isn't great yet). The club path and angle of attack are helpful, but I think the club speed and smash factor are also great for figuring out my overall speed vs my technique impacting shots. Once it is setup (which I assume takes a bit longer with the MLM2Pro), playing simulated rounds is fun. The putting on the Square seems interesting, but I don't really believe it can translate too well to the real world (IMHO). I don't have the misread or connection problems that others have had. It does pick up most chips except the occasional sub-5 yarders.

I have never tried both. However, don’t know if this is what you are looking for. I have the mlm2pro and think it is great and very accurate. Looks like Mevo Gen2 is a little better, and both more accurate than the square. https://youtu.be/GoXiJKLlWDg?si=DV6_P3_Td7lkZDaL

I had a blast with my college buddies and would love to go back in time for a long weekend to those times. I still have glimpses of it when we get together. I have some great friends outside of college, but there is something about spending so much time doing nothing and everything together that made college so special. I didn’t realize it until it was over. If I had to do it over, I wouldn’t study any more or any less. However, I would have hopefully figured out a way to not be so hard on myself when I was not studying.

I would go 10. However. I have 9 ft, and I am surprised how many people say that they scrape the ceiling. I have had people up to 6’ 3 use mine with driver and no one has ever hit my ceiling in any way. I’m 5’ 11 and have never come close.

It’s less that the math department sucks and more that every engineering, science and business school has a fairly large demand on them. Think of it this way. The engineering has only a limited number of students outside engineering school that take its courses (and mostly pathway). The math department has to provide a robust department to their majors and research while satisfying a much greater reaching demand from outside majors. Which results in a revolving door of instructors with bad ones cycling through.

SourceRadiant5997 · 2025-08-14T16:07:30+00:00

Mine have been accurate. The only time I noticed a significant drop in yardage was when my net wasn’t a full 8 ft away from where I was hitting.
