Anyone have a good app for measure the distance of a golf shot in the iPhone?  I found a free program called "Golf Shot Distance" but it's pretty slow.

I'd basically just like to have something where you hit the button where you're starting... drive to where the ball is... hit the button again to see how far you hit it.

I don't need anything fancy...

I never thought of trying an app like that. This piqued my interest and I found this.

I'm gonna try it next time I go out.

FYI: I got an "invalid address" when upgrading an app this morning - I think Apple changed address validation.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Ooh that looks interesting. Currently I have to piddle around with GolfCard GPS for distances.

Search for "golf gps" in the iTunes App Store. There are many, many choices -- free and paid.

I use Golfshot, which tracks distances exactly as you've described and also keeps score and collates your stats, while giving you pretty accurate yardages all over the course. "Fancy", yes, but for less than the price of a dozen balls, it's been an absolute bargain.

I have "MyCaddie Pro"--now it's free!--and it has a feature called "ACTIVE SHOT" that measure distance from where you hit (you tap the button) and where you end up (tap the button again to get the distance).

It also has GPS and you can map your own course, if it is not mapped already.  It also keeps track of your stats and scores.

One of the best free app for iPhone.  With iPhone 4, only about 15-20% battery drain for 18 holes.

I can vouch for MyCaddie Pro...I've started using it this year and everything Yukari stated is correct.  This free app is awesome and it does it job well without draining your battery life.

If you are willing to pay $19.99/year for it.  Unless they've added that feature to the free version...

I use Golfshot.  As mentioned above, it works great for all the features noted, including the measuring of shots.  As a plus, and Golflogix (at least the paid membership version the last time I checked) does this as well, it allows you to log those shots by club with yardage and accuracy information so that you have a history and an average for each club.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?
