Uneekor Setup
The bays at Clubhouse Golf NYC are powered by Uneekor launch monitors. GSPro connects to Uneekor through the Uneekor Launcher — not the GSPro icon directly. Here's what you need to know.
How to Launch GSPro
- Open the Uneekor Launcher from the desktop — not the GSPro logo icon.
- From the Uneekor Launcher tiles, select GSPro.
- GSPro will load through the Uneekor connection automatically.
Confirming the Launch Monitor is Ready
Before your first shot, check two things:
- The launch monitor flashes red — this means it is armed and waiting to detect a ball.
- The arrows on the GSPro screen turn green — this confirms GSPro is connected and ready to receive shot data.
Troubleshooting
Most issues at the bay come down to the Uneekor and GSPro losing their connection. Follow these steps in order.
Shots Not Registering
If you hit a shot and nothing happens on screen, work through this checklist first:
- Make sure the ball is placed in the center of the hitting mat. Off-center balls are a common reason shots don't register.
- Confirm the launch monitor is flashing red — that means it's armed and ready.
- Confirm the on-screen arrows have turned green — that means GSPro is ready to receive the shot.
If the arrows are not green or the monitor is not flashing red, try hitting one more shot. If it still doesn't register, move on to Step 2.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager (or right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager).
- Close all open applications — every browser tab, every background window.
- Find the Uneekor Launcher in the taskbar or system tray. Close it by clicking the small X within the launcher itself — not by Alt+F4 or closing the window from outside.
- Once everything is closed, reopen the Uneekor Launcher from the desktop. Do not open the GSPro logo icon.
- From the Uneekor Launcher tiles, select GSPro.
- Wait for GSPro to fully load. When it's ready, minimize any Uneekor windows that are open — do not close them with X.
Still Having Issues?
If shots are still not registering after the full reset, please flag a staff member. We're happy to help get you back on course quickly.
Quick Reference
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| My tournament isn't in GSPro | Check Show Tournaments For: and select the correct player. Your GSPro Player Name must match your SGT username exactly. |
| Can't play online with a friend | Both players must be on the same GSPro release — both Stable or both Public Beta. |
| Shots not registering | Ball should be centered on the hitting mat, launch monitor should flash red, and arrows should be green. If not, do a full reset — see Troubleshooting section. |
| GSPro won't open | Always launch from the Uneekor Launcher tiles, not the GSPro desktop icon. If it still won't open, close all windows and restart the Uneekor Launcher first. |
| My tournament isn't showing | Make sure your GSPro Player Name matches your SGT username exactly. Check Show Tournaments For: and select the correct player. |
