I found the program mentioned Here . Any more info/experience with this? I dont see anything about having a score-sheet on it. Also, anyone ever used GolfLogix ? [edit] Just installed it on my Touch Pro 2, and i guess it needs the D-pad on the Touch Pro that it was programed for, cause i get to the start screen where it tells me to register and i cant get past it. (likely requires an OK keypress or something) and from what i can see.. It has an annual fee. (bleck). It looks very good tho..

this may be a dumb question, but what constitutes a 'round' of golf? Im asking this in reference to the limit on the Mobile Golf Scorer program (limit 20 rounds on the cheapest version)

why is it such a big deal? I dont think foot prints or cleat (sp?) tracks would alter the ball enough to make or break a shot.. but im fairly new.

i have nike golf shoes.. does that count? :)

Otis Park Golf Club A few days ago, me and my roommate played the back 9 of this course (10-18) The tee boxes were pretty normal. They have Blue, White and Red boxes that are marked with nice looking stone markers with the Otis Park logo on it with the appropriate colors. They were more or less kept in good shape, considering how much they are played. Most of the boxes give good views of the green, though hole 16 goes over a hill and is impossible to see the green or the flag. Anyone new to the course is advised to scout out the green before teeing off. Their was a ball washer at nearly every hole, and they have running water faucets every few holes that have cool (not cold) water. The hole information looked like it was torn down, so there were no layouts of the holes at each hole, nor was there one on the score card. The electric carts they have are nice with 2 size cup holders (this is important to us because we usually pick up large Poweraids that don’t fit in standard size cup holders. The Fairways were kept in relatively good shape and have irrigation. I must grip alittle about them however. As certain spots on the fairways had dead grass or dirt spots, and one had a couple ‘pot holes’. The greens were in good shape, though areas around the green had dead grass spots where it was obvious that people had pitched from those locations. There were a few water hazards, but most of them we encountered were dried out, leaving rough rocky areas. I hit a good 3wood shot into one and it hit a rock and shot about 40-50 feet up, but landed back in the rocks unfortunately, and I lost it heh. They had sand traps in pretty good areas where it was likely you’d land a ball, but not so much in the way that you couldn’t avoid them. The sand was in good condition (I point this out because I’m use to playing at stone crest, who had poor sand traps/bunkers) Hole 17 is gives a very nice view of the fairway from the white/blue tee box, as it sits on the edge of a cliff, to which you hit off of on to the fairway below, which doglegs slightly to the left. There is tall grass around a few holes, which I found a surprise black snake as it slithered close in front of me, thinking they should proly cut the grass in a few areas to help avoid this. All and all a good course, one of the better ones I’ve played. Will have to play the front 9 sometime. I give the back 9 .. (4) Good

i should proly get a divot tool. don't know if they make a divot/ball marker that clips on the hat. Most i've seen arn't cheap tho. Youd think a divot tool wouldn't be more than 4-5 bucks. but i've seen them for $10-$15 :\

i did see that program, and it does look great, the only problem is that it costs like $135, which i dont think any kind of mobile software should cost that much, if im reading the "," correctly.

I currently only have a Pitching Wedge, so it gets just about all of my shortgame shots. I do pretty well with it, but i look forward to getting a sand and a lpb to give me more control over distances and range.

Would you say that Intilligolf one of the better mobile golf software? (cause im not buying a seprate golf gps.. sorry)

cool.. keep em comming :)

I’m looking though online golf store accessories, and I got to wondering.. Outside of the basics (clubs, bag, balls, tees, brush) What do you consider your most important or your most favored accessory? Is it a ball marker? Divot repair tool? Towel? Heh Or, what do you consider so important, that it should be included as a basic need? ( I do not own a marker, divot repair myself as I know a tee can be used as a makeshift for both)

same thing i did before i started playing. goofing around on the interwebs, playing Eve-Online, or hanging with friends. http://failblog.org http://lolcats.com http://icanhascheezburger.com

IU Par 3 Course This one is nicer than my last review. They have 2 main courses. A 9-hole par three course, which is great for practicing your short game and iron shots, and an 18-hole champ course. I have only played on the 9-hole par three thus far, and will review the 18-hole when I get a chance to play on it. (or if someone else has played on it, feel free) The tee boxes are simple. One spot boxes, they are however using normal grass that has weeds in it, and not specialized grass. Because of this, the ground is uneven and is planted in that Indiana ‘clay’ they call dirt, which sometimes makes it difficult to set up a tee (ive broken a couple tees just trying to setup) I haven’t notice them moving the hole around the green, but haven’t played frequently enough there for myself to notice, but my guess is they don’t move them. Many of the greens are near or under trees, which means leaves are always on them, and one green (hole 6 I believe) has a rather large dip in it, like the ground caved in. They have no fairways to speak of, as all but one hole is a par three (the one exception being hole 2, which is short par 4) so I guess that isn’t a big deal really. They have no water hazards or sand traps, and only a small amount of wooded area, so its fairly difficult to lose a ball. They have a Pretty nice (and large) driving range, most of them are fenced & matted, each with their own print out of the ranges to the colored flags. Since the tee stands circle around the range, each flag means different distance depending on where your standing. 6 bucks gets you a basket of balls, (which is more balls than Stone Crest has in their bag for the same price) and they all seem to be the same kind (Titleist range balls). My only gripe is the range itself is next to the main road, which is a state road, also known as the by-pass. So it sees a lot of traffic and makes for a fair bit of noise. They have a large practice putting green with 8 or 10 holes, each with retrieval poles, so that’s nice. However they do not allow pitching on to it, so they lost a little bit of points for that. They have electric carts and push carts available to rent All in all, the par-3 is a nice little course, especially for beginners and those looking to work on their short game. I give the par-3 a (3) Decent

Stone Crest Its an 'ok' place, but isn’t that great. Its fairly easy with the main obstacles being trees. They have 3 9-hole courses which they somewhat take care of. The tee boxes are pretty used and it shows and they don’t move them/repair them often enough. They do move the hole on the green around weekly, but the green it self is a little pot marked with divots. Their sand traps are a joke. They aren’t filled with 'golf sand'. What they have in them is a little thicker. They aren’t properly irrigated either, so they trap water which stays in them for DAYS after it rains. The driving range is ok, but they don’t have mats, they just have a tee box like area, which means unless you buy a rubber driving tee, you’ll burn though a lot of wooden ones. It also means there are a lot of sliced up areas from people hitting the ground/digging in. The range markers are large colored rocks, which your ball will sometimes hit, and the signs for their ranges isn’t easily seen (its buried in the ground). No place to prop up your bag, so bring a stand bag. They have a small practice putting green and rim area so you can practice pitching onto it, but no markers for the holes (sticks to catch the ball) The majority of their carts are gas powered, which are much weaker and louder than the electric ones. They also don’t like non-members or late players using their electric ones and try to save them for events and such. The good thing is all their carts have electronic readouts of how far to the center of the green you are.. so that’s handy. Id rate this as (2) Fair to (1) Poor

Post places to golf in Indiana and perhaps a small review of it as well :) Rating system I’ill do on mine. (5) Excellent (4) Good (3) Decent (2) Fair (1) Poor
