Testing out my new calculator. I adjust the wind using a slider bar to
line up the clock minute hand with the WGT wind sock. Still not sure
what I want to do with the club buttons.

jimmyheton, could you help me with the charts you've made. I'm in a nursing home and WGT Golf has keep alive it's the only thing I have anymore. I play all day when my health lets me. Could you please help me, it would mean a lot to me. GOD BLESS YOU
Hey that was a good watch ;) is the approach gauge available to use?
I'll create a pdf help file for the calculator. I developed this using Delphi and only runs on Windows. I also use Magnifixer, which is a freeware program that reads the WGT windsock position. The club buttons do nothing as of yet; I haven't decided what to use them for. I'll leave the link after I create the help file; check back in a few days. Happy Holidays to you!
Enjoy your mapping videos!! Not sure why your deducting 3 yards off from the -3 elevation. I’d usually divide the elevation by 3. Seeing as you had a very slight headwind…I’d say that counteracts the -3 elevation
Formula uses elevation change per 100 yards.
@ interesting. Iv recently started playing with 93 ball. Will you be mapping the other irons?
@@Lee3De First time trying this formula, I'll have to test it out with my approach program and see how it goes. I'm bored, so trying something different. Might pair it with elevation change percentages inside the approach program. I'll let you know.
Kinda ruins the game for me when you ding the same shot with the 3wood twice and get 251 + 254 :///
jim by chance could you make us a meter bar that would accept input of meter?
A power meter overlay for the WGT meter ?
Nice graphical video. I played three cushion for many many years. It's a wonderful game where Every shot is a trick shot seemingly. I wish I still had my table I took it down for a pocket table to entertain company. as only a few people played 3 cushion around my area. Thanks and enjoy
Thanks, still learning the game. Practicing with the software might help me.
I would love to get my hands on that application you are using. where Is it available. It would be great enjoyment to practice around three cushion in between mapping golf balls. Great game for the mind. Makes you think and that's what I like.

I enjoy using gadgets. They can come in handy and I appreciate your snapshot . I like Magnifixer and ZoomIt. One of my programming problems is that files keep getting rejected by Windows Defender or Apache OpenOffice, I'm not sure which. It's probably Apache Open office spreadsheet. I'm working on resolving this issue. I'm planning to use VoiceAttack with a ReMouse. Adding VoiceAttack to call programs should be easy. If my plan works, a person will only need to use their voice and a touchpad/mouse after mapping their commands. This way, I can keep everything as minimally physical as possible, which is important as I work with individuals who have physical impairments. good luck to you and yours
Thanks for the videos I enjoy watching you map your clubs. Are those Irons the Callaway ROUGE level 100. I noticed they do not sell those anymore. Good luck to you and yours
Yes they are.
Hi Jim. What apparel boosts do you have on your irons??
I had all SE but I turned off everything to do with irons. You could see with the extra spin, my Irons go shorter with that apparel .
@@jimspencer 3,4 and 5 iron would be great to see off the fairway
Awesome. Appreciate this!!!
Yw
i tried with remousse to hit the ding sometimes i hit it and sometimes just early
You will never get it to hit the ding each time, WGT has a random delay on the power meter.
Wonder WHO figure out this ... ;)
Amazing what we can do w/ Excel ... ;) /// Mcroman
Very nice Jim thanks for the video. Enjoy the world of logic and golf
Please do this again with full shots :) and the t87 ball for mapping :) fairway yardages would also be awesome to watch :)
I will
As always very good mapping
Your whole setup looks pretty Awesome!!!!!!
Thanks. I'm retired, so I do some programming projects to keep me busy.
link to download program pls
You will need to purchase the Micro Remouse program. Then you need to use your starter ball to record each back spin. Please watch this demo . ua-cam.com/video/nJNVeHYfCnw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/MWKXn7PNess/v-deo.html
@@jimspenceri already purchased remousse and i used starter ball to record each back spin. i need just the program thank you verry for your help i appreciate that
@@simoradoua9112 My test program was just a test program. Have you tried using Excel to call your files? The Excel subroutine I used can be downloaded at www.mediafire.com/file/inzim5dv951vlr1/RemouseExcelSubRoutineCode.txt/file all you have to do is change the name of the file being called to your filename. If you don't have Excel, then I could write you a little Delphi program. But if you do have Excel, you should really try calling your files from there; then it's your own. The Excel video link I gave you explains how to set it up in Excel. Let me know if you can't do it with Excel, and I'll write you a simple launcher program where you can maintain your list to call your files.
@@simoradoua9112 I just finished writing the simple launcher program for you. After you install it, there will be a txt file called "programListing.txt" . Edit this file with Windows Notepad and add your filenames. When you run my program "Launcher.exe" it reads the entries from the ProgramListing.txt file and loads them into a List. Select the file you want to call from the list, then press the "Call Program" button. Remember to use the full path name of your Remouse file or copy them into the same folder where the launcher program is. You can download the Launcher setup program here: www.mediafire.com/file/71ul4p12njhyllw/SetupProgramLauncher.exe/file
@@jimspencer thank you
Hi Jim, is this program not available anymore (the link isn't working)?
Sorry, the program is stored now on a different server at www.mediafire.com/file/ls0xe10srk77kr6/Approach16v3FullSetup.exe/file
What is this for? I'm just getting into this game
Will adjust the yardage to the pin based on wind and direction. The adjusted distance yardage is what your shot needs to go.
Thanks for the video
very interesting. The world of programming ..................... I have been wanting to set up a game between me and others on discord so we can interact and I think it would be fun.
Yes it is. I wanted something to be flexible for assigning teams so I came up with this design. So far, it's been working out.
@@jimspencer I acquired some college experience n computer programming and learn several programming languages back in the 80s. Now the programming is just a thought process it's very easy to write code. Plus it keeps the mind alert. Keep up to good stuff and enjoy I hope all is well with you
Yes, I love my Delphi!
Will the micro version of remouse Perform this task
As long as you can save the file, yes.
Is the shot cal only for tee shots??
No. The club display Fairway or Tee will display depending on the course and hole you play. Inside the course file you can set the hole to true for par 3 or false.
I like that compass I looked and looked I can't find one that looks like that in the gadgets that I searched for

excellent video apparently you were reading my mind the only thing is I'm using Apache Open office spreadsheet. I'm not sure if the code will paste directly in and work..... Thank you very much for all your work, But I will figure it out thank you
thank you I appreciate all of your work. ... Something that I would like to see b ur applications for golf . Ways that allow mouse only use to adjust the numbers, like a spin button on a spreadsheet , for us with limited dexterity . typing and miss typing Can be cumbersome and frustrating, Especially when you're on the clock
I did do have that about 3 years ago but imho it takes more time to adjust sliders than typing in numbers. One thing could be done without typing in numbers in would be to have a numbers pad (like on a phone) where you click on the numbers you need.
@jimspencer I have a spreadsheet set up with a spin button that allows me to increment or decreased by ia given formula are set of numbers.
@@TheFlax33 very nice, glad it's working for you. I get bored once in awhile, then I want to try different things to spark my interest with the game. I really should focus on my putting more since it's the weakest part of my game.
@@jimspencer yes I spent three hours on the Putting GREEN today
Hi Jim, For remapping balls on the approach20V is it the same process as the approach16V?
Should be, you can use the driving range program, then export it out. Then you can load that ball file in approach20v. Driving range ua-cam.com/video/RKOsl5Ny2gQ/v-deo.html
I’ve tried doing that but when I load the ball in the approach20v program it’s not working and it’s not bringing up my clubs for the distance
@@nickpotter1897 I'll look into that
Hi Jim, Can you do a video on how to map a new ball on the approach20V1 version, I've tried going by the approah 16 version but it not working.
Hi Jim, form looks great but I can't use it, I've downloaded it but when I try and add a new shot it says cannot perform this operation on a closed dataset, Any ideas?
1. Try running it as Administrator and make sure you start the program in the same directory with the mdb files. Make sure you download the full install if this is your first time using the program.
@@jimspencer That sorted it thanks
Hi, Jim. Are these programs compatible with Windows XP? Thanks.
not sure, you could try.
Enjoy watching your videos Finding great things to help my game .
Thanks.
Hi Jim I have never had a problem with any of your up dates loading until this one, it shows as a Trojan and will not load on to my computer I have turned off my fire wall / windows defender and it still won’t load any ideas how I can get round it. Many thanks Paul
You will have to answer to keep it from your browser 3 times. Look for the 3 dots on your browser page. Once downloaded , you can run it. If windows gives you a message about it, click on "More Info" and choose "Run anyways". Not sure about the trojan report since it's my own code. I know windows will report a virus sometimes with compiled Delphi code. Let me know if still have problems. Jimmie
Hi Jimmie thanks for the quick reply I will have ago later on my main computer, I can download it on my laptop top with no problem put it on a memory stick but as soon as I try to transfer it to my main computer windows defender removes it. Paul

Hi Spencer I have been using your Shotcalc2 for a few months now and I have to say it has undoubtedly changed my game for the better. I only use the Shotcalc2 and not your Approach20V2 because the penny just hasn’t dropped for me on how to use the Approach20V2. But I’m sure I don’t need it if I use your Shotcalc2. However, I feel that the Shotcalc2 isn’t that accurate on wind Grid calculation especially for high winds. For instance, if I have a shot with 18 Wind, 21° Direction, 195 Distance and 23 Elevation, Shotcalc2 shows the Grid to be 3.5. However, I feel that I always have to add a Grid or more for it to be more accurate, maybe 4.5 rather. Is it just me or am I doing something wrong? I just turned Legend and maybe there are more variables built into the WGT on this level but I can’t say. All I know is that Shotcalc2 felt very accurate when I started but now for high winds it feels less accurate. Is this how it is supposed to be or am I doing something wrong?
You could try increasing the AAM multiplier from 1.0 to 1.10 for courses with high winds. You can find the AAM field inside the course table, just type over 1.0 with the new value. If increasing by 10% isn't enough try 15% and so on.
Try 4 for a grid divisor and set the AMM to 0.80
Very impressive stuff Jim, looking forward to seeing some of your new releases. Hopefully, you will make all these cool tools available.
Thanks, Joe; all my tools are free and are made for Windows only. Most will use access databases for saving shot data, so you might have to run some programs "As Administrator." . You can check out my tools at free-4485445.webadorsite.com/.

Many anti virus software incorrectly flag a Delphi generated EXE as a malware. So they are false positive.
Is it possible to use the window as a lens? I mean, amplifying the image where the window is at that moment, instead of using the mouse.
Not sure what you mean. When you have fix location on it will display the screen location where the mouse was last pointing to. You only have to set it once.
@@jimspencer I mean puting the lens on one place, and using the mouse in another. I don't want the cursor fixed on the lens. I want to put the lens on one place, to amplify that area, and then work with the cursor on another area of the screen. I want a free cursor, that I can use to move the lens when needed. Also I want to increase the size of the lens.
@@Esclarecidos maybe Zoom It might help you. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit
@@jimspencer Thanks! I'm using Zoom It. Also there are some whiteboard softwares that have the lens function, like POINTOFIX.

Happy New Year mate. I am ipad only but follow some if your remarkable work. Can I ask when you set it to say 50% does the shot tracer come up with 50% or more of a range like say 42% to 57%?
HiJim. I'm running as admin, I do however keep getting a message saying - '1.0' is not a valid integer value., and then I can't proceed at all
check the ball data, all spins should range from -100 to 100. Change the 1.0 spin to -45. You should check the ball data tab before doing any calculation, look through the ball records and change the spin by double clicking the mouse on that field, then just type in the new number (-45). My bad, thought I converted all the spin records.
I just check the install lv87ball.mdb and all the spins look correct. If you are still having problems, download the full version again @ www.mediafire.com/file/hx3jswnof1tbmu7/Approach20v1Setup.exe/file
Hi Jim. I can't seem to close the program. I keep getting an error message. "Cannot create file "Access is denied

Don't you think it would be better to have the window move with the mouse instead of splitting your eyes to look at two different places? The software is useless the fixed window never worked and never will. I would make a new video telling people not to use this if I were you
Pretty simply really, drag the magnifixer window to your liking, press Ctrl F to turn off fix location, move mouse so wgt wind sock is display inside the magnifixer window, press Ctrl F again to turn On fix location. Sorry you are having trouble, just follow the steps. Works perfectly for me and others. The most common mistake is clicking your mouse before turning on fix location.
