"I liked the cards from a number of perspectives. Firstly it gave me a number of different goals outside of just my score or how I was doing in the match. It also helped focus my mind more when I came to a hole that was one of my specific goals. A third benefit was that even if I was out of the hole or match or competition I still had something to help give pressure. An example was that one task was to have no more than two putts at any par five. I had a disaster on one of them and reached the green in five. Normally the putts would have been meaningless, but my mission still had to be completed and so the three footer to finish it actually meant something."

"For so long in the game of golf we have missed the point that it is how we practice that keeps so many golfers stuck in the mire of mediocrity. Finally we are beginning to wake up and understand that we need to practice differently to get different results. Golf Mission provides you with a unique opportunity to take your game to a new level by practicing in a completely different way than you have done before. It will be your loss if you do not start to utilize these brilliant games to elevate your game"

"After playing this wonderful game for more than 45 years, I thought I'd played every imaginable variation possible, GolfMission proved me wrong. It really was a refreshing change, adding a new dimension to a normal friendly game of golf. The endless variations to the tasks keep you totally focused throughout the game. I enjoyed the challenge and feel that GolfMission can be played and enjoyed by golfers of any standard. "
Parnell E Reilly

"GolfMission is not only a great game, it is also a great coaching aid that gets golfers to focus their mind "

"I've been playing GolfMission for just over three months and my handicap has dropped from 28 to 19 !!
The great thing about the game is that it concentrates the mind and identifies the parts of your game that require improvement. If you don't achieve the mission then it's easy to pinpoint your weaknesses. Normally you'd probably only focus on the good aspects of your game. I use it a lot playing with my brothers and friends because it's also an entertaining game as well as being beneficial. And if you're having a bad round, with GolfMission you can still achieve the your given goals. It's a great product. "

As a professional I can see that this game has enormous potential as a teaching and learning tool for golfers of all abilities and regardless of age. "

"Golf Mission adds a new dimension to a regular game, keeping holes meaningful even if you've hit two drives out of bounds, and bridging the competitive gap between high and low handicaps. Be warned, though: the competition can get ruthless once missions have been accepted!' "

"I do 90% of my coaching on the course. I have had great success using this and my pupils love the extra challenge we set them using the cards. Even beginners use this. I see them under the conditions they are playing in. We then monitor if it has improved their stats/score over a period of time using software."

“Just a quick line to say how interesting it has been using GolfMission cards for our client golf events, be they stand alone golf schedules or golf days within larger incentive programs. The game certainly gets players thinking and the tasks create a second tier of targets for the player. We look forward to continued use of the GolfMission products and thank you for all your excellent service to date.”

"During my last GolfMisson round on a beautiful Swedish summers day, I needed to hit the green in regulation on a par 4 to complete one mission. My playing partner said "go for it!". I played one of my best shots ever with a 6 iron and finished 4ft from the pin. My focus was completely on that shot. I can't tell you how many I shot that day, but I can remember completing my mission with one of my best shots ever."

"After a three month trial using GolfMission twice a week, my handicap dropped from 9.6 down to 4.4! It's completely transformed my focus out on the course and my thoughts are on golf for the entire round "
" Update March 2011. I'm still playing GolfMission and also using MatchPlay which is in some ways even better than the original game as it keeps me focused on all 18 holes . My handicap is still dropping and currently at 3 ."
Gavin Lawler
Member, Celtic Manor Resort
"It made me think about my game differently, like I was playing in competition. I can see my pupils developing more confidence in themselves when they complete a mission. This is needed in the game today. My members and elite players also say that they are enjoying the game more using the missions. Every person that tries it finds it very interesting, and it keeps them in the game, as you said. More fun. Keeps focus here and now."
Klas Olsson

"I'm sending you a copy of my latest handicap. When we met in February I was 11.2. After 8 weeks I am now officially 8.5. Seriously, with your product, look what's happening! Come back to Florida soon so I can take some money off you on the course!"

"For years I have seen golfers of all levels attempting to reach targets and getting so frustrated in trying to do so they give themselves little or no chance of achieving their goals. GolfMission provides a welcome "distraction" from distractions. "

"Our Golf Mission day on Friday was an amazing success. Every single person loved the game! Golf Mission should be something every golf society uses on their day out. It's great fun, keeps everyone involved and, even if you have a bad round, keeps it interesting right to the end."

"I've played GM many times during the years it has been in development and it never fails to make the game more enjoyable and make me play better golf! More than just a great side game, it keeps me focused and in the game right up to the 18th and totally transforms my mental game. I've also noticed that I'm more confident and have less nerves in competition rounds which I attribute to the task oriented pressures of GM. "

"The context of golf has to be changed. The game has to be more fun for people. Most practice is stupid, all that 'digging it out of the ground' is no use. GolfMission allows you to live the game and this is better for you. With GolfMission you can really start enjoying your game again. "

"After thinking about this a lot I think the game has really made me look at golf in a different light. I do focus more on each shot and less on my final score. In this game you are not playing so much against the others but challenging yourself to do better without taking stupid risks. At the end of the day, even in a tournament your score is the only one that matters. You only have control over your game, not others and this game teaches that. Every sport has offense and defense, except golf. The game kind of shows you that you actually do need to play defense in certain situations to avoid mistakes that will cost you more strokes. "
Todd Lindsay
Alberta, Canada
"Golfmission is the most exciting thing that has happened to my golf game in many years. I am an occasional golfer, playing 10-15 rounds a year. In the past I was happy enough to hit a few good shots during a round but then became frustrated when I missed shots I should have made, and my score was rarely as low as I wanted it. My problem was focus. I wasn't concentrating at the right moment on the things that would improve my game. Golfmission now forces me to focus on doing the things that instantly lower my score and it has been the single driving force in lowering my score and improving my game. "
Craig Beitz

"I happened to be playing golf in the West Country on a society outing organized by Geoff Chapman. As well as our normal individual Stableford competition he introduced us to the concept of what, at the time, was named Golf War. We all thought it was rather a secondary activity to the main event, but how wrong we were. Only two holes into the game and everyone was checking their mission to ensure that they didn't visit a bunker or the water or whatever. It's a great concept because it keeps the game going right to the end, even if you're having a bad day, and even a poor player can end up winning a prize by completing his or her mission successfully. A must for any Society outing! "
Ian McNeill, Director
Selby Golf Club
"We have played Golf-Mission 6 times now. It's a great game and adds a different twist to the already wonderful game of golf. The focus on course management and the accomplishing of Missions helps to instil confidence and maintain concentration throughout the round. We have played with beginners to pros and everyone enjoys it! We look forward to introducing it to many golfers this season. "
Gina Hosie, CPGA, Ladies' Golf Club of Toronto
Sandy Hosie, avid golfer
"Golf Mission has added another valuable dimension to this glorious game. The extra tasks add to your focus and improve control. When they are achieved you feel elation of winning, when they're missed you know you have more to learn! "
Chris Wood
Member, Fox Hill Country Club
"It got quite competitive in our four ball and what a great sense of achievement as you announced you had completed one of your missions. I can't see how any golfer could not enjoy this game, it is suited for individuals pairs, three or four-balls. No more playing for a pot of tea - mission impossible is very possible with this game. I would thoroughly recommend it to golfers of any ability."
Anne MacGregor
Lingdale Golf Club
"A big thanks to Geoff and the GolfMisson team. After a few months with the game in my bag, it has taken my handicap down from 13.4 to 10.6, it helps me focus for the whole round. "
Andrew Silverthorne

"Unlike some on course games that really detract from what we all love about golf, GolfMission actually enhances enjoyment of a round, whilst proving a valuable training aid to improvement and providing feedback as to areas to work on."

"Refreshing alternative to stroke based games witch can have a negative effect on your game by forcing you to play low percentage shots in desperate situations. In the golf world where all new products seem to promise more power, longer shots, this puts emphasis on finesse and accuracy, staying out of trouble. "
Ted Mooij
Toronto, Ontario
“I gave the pack to my partner as a Christmas Present. He has been playing for years but I have only been playing since last April. Since Christmas,we have really enjoyed using the cards to make our rounds more interesting and we have found it really useful to focus our game. Most notably I hit 10 fairways during a round this week and my partner only had 31 putts for his round. I think this is a really positive tool which allows you to forget about the nightmare holes (ignoring the score) and focus on your on course skills. Thanks for a great product!”
