Hello everyone,

First of all, if this post violates any rules, please flag it early and often. From what I read, it's legal but I know some forums are funny about this sort of thing.

I'm a marketing project manager at a company that started deveoping weather-related iPhone apps. My question to all of you is: if someone was to develop a weather/golf app for the iPhone, what features would you like to see?

I'd pretty much want something like iYardage that takes advantage of the GPS and serves as a scoring tool.

Weather specific alerts I could take or leave - typically if things look dicey I'll check the forecast before I go using one of the existing weather apps (WeatherBug, Weather.com). After the round is started I don't need any weather related alerts or information -- I'm already outside!

This would be a very useful thing to have. I would like the yardage and scoring. It would make for an easy way to keep track of your score and get yardages during a round.

Thanks for the input guys. There are currently apps in the App Store that serve as scorecards, GPS range finders (still haven't seen a good implementation of this) and handicap calculators. Is there any other sort of functionality you'd like to see?

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
