Currently I have Long Pres Gesture Recognizers on four different TableViews (two in each storyboard scene, therefore two storyboard scenes). I create these LPGR's with the following code in my ViewDidLoad method...

//Add Long Press Gesture Reconizer
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] 
                                      initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 1; //seconds
lpgr.delegate = self;
[self.GolferOne addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[self.GolferTwo addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[self.GolferThree addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[self.GolferFour addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
//Done Adding Long Press Gesture Reconizer

Next I have another method that I want to NSLog where the LPG was pressed...

CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.GolferOne];

   NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.GolferOne indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];
    if (indexPath == nil)
        NSLog(@"long press on table view but not on a row [Golfer One]");
    else
        NSLog(@"long press on table view at row %d [Golfer One]", indexPath.row);

    //Golfer Two

    p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.GolferTwo];

    indexPath = [self.GolferTwo indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];
    if (indexPath == nil)
        NSLog(@"long press on table view but not on a row [Golfer Two]");
    else
        NSLog(@"long press on table view at row %d [Golfer Two]", indexPath.row);

    //Golfer Three

    p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.GolferThree];

    indexPath = [self.GolferThree indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];
    if (indexPath == nil)
        NSLog(@"long press on table view but not on a row [Golfer Three]");
    else
        NSLog(@"long press on table view at row %d [Golfer Three]", indexPath.row);

    //Golfer Four

    p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.GolferFour];

    indexPath = [self.GolferFour indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];
    if (indexPath == nil)
        NSLog(@"long press on table view but not on a row [Golfer Four]");
    else
        NSLog(@"long press on table view at row %d [Golfer Four]", indexPath.row);

I know why it won't work, but I can't find a solution to get it to work. Instead of just returing one NSLog it returns something four times (once for each golfer because three of them have the indexPath=nil)

Any help will be appreciated. Also why is there such a lag for it to NSLog?

You can get the touch point of recognizer using ,

 -(void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
 NSLog(@"%@",NSStringFromCGPoint([[gestureRecognizer valueForKey:@"_startPointScreen"] CGPointValue]));

}

you will get the point respect to the co-ordinate system of view for which your recognizer is added.

Your recognizer is registered only for the last Golfer. you should do this,

UILongPressGestureRecognizer *lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] 
                                      initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 1; //seconds
[self.GolferOne addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[lgpr release];
lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] 
                                      initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 1; //seconds

[self.GolferTwo addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[lgpr release];

To determine the location of the gesture in the view from the recognizer’s locationInView: property:

// Get the location of the gesture
CGPoint location = [recognizer locationInView:self.view];

Long press recognizer is applied to the entire view. To have a 'lag' with NSLog you can just use NSTimer. A way you could get a result like your want is buttons with alpha of zero. When they release (be it 1 seconds or 120) it would log the touch.

1. As TheDeveloper said, the long press gesture is for the entire view.

2. As an aside, if you were setting up gestures for multiple views, I believe that you want a separate gesturerecognizer for each view. Not relevant here, but I see lots of guys wondering why a gesture that they've tried to assign to multiple views is only working for one.

3. With long press gestures, I'd suggest you check your sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded or Started or whatever you're looking for. You're going to get multiple events triggered for one user interaction.

4. If you've got the gesture on a view and you want to see, for example, if the user released their finger while over a particular subview, you can get the CGPoint for the release (via the locationInView, as Vignesh pointed out), you can then also get the CGRect for a particular subview's frame and then check to see if the CGPoint is inside the CGRect via CGRectContainsPoint().
