best iPhone apps

[The Golfing Polack]

Just got my iPhone yesterday and I'm looking for opinions on what the best golf apps are. Possible rangefinders but probably more interested in scoring/handicap programs right now. I don't want to plunk down a lot of dough on something that won't suit me.

Thanks

I just downloads (and used for the first time) GolfCard. All of the courses in my area are available. It does have built in GPS capability, but since it can be a battery drain, and I have both a uPro and a Bushnell I don't foresee using it.

It can do either basic scoring, or detailed statistical data (GIR, Fairways, # of putts, etc.). It can also track scores for your entire group. When your round is over, you can either email your scores, or upload them automatically to oobgolf.com.

I believe it was on sale when I bought it for less than $5. Not sure what the regular price is. It has all the features I need, is simple, and quick to use, and most importantly, doesn't slow me down on the course.

I also have iGolfRules which is handy when you're unsure of the rule in a particular situation.

For those times on the course when you could use a cold one but don't want to mess up your game by having too many real beers!

I would look for ViewTi (Golf, N) versions for good GPS based accuracy with yardages and a great database of courses. It was $25 for ViewTi N (green view only), with score cards for up to four players, and stat tracking. $50 for the full app (ViewTi Golf) included fairway view and zoom in/out over the course to see the full view of each hole. You can also try Golftraxx for basic yardages from each tee, distance to front/center/back of hole, and score cards. I think it was $5.

I love my 3G iphone, and now it's my golf GPS device too. My buddy spent $350 on a Sonocaddy, where I only spent $50 for the ViewTi Golf app on a phone I already owned. :)

Best,
Brian

I wouldn't qualify this as one of the best, but one of the more interesting and it's cheap.

Breakmeter measures the slope of green. You put the iPhone on the ground and you'll see left/right and uphill/downhill measured.
