Speaking of STATS - anyone use . . .

[JonnyRockets]

Hey all -

new here, was reading over the Stats page. Got me searching on the web.

Anyone use or have used Intelligolf? ( www.intelligolf.com )

It seems to do everything we'd want - putts, ability to say wether shots were left, right, short long. Up and downs, sand saves - all that stuff. I know it works on palpilots and pocket pcs - but I doubt I'll be using that on the course - just the score card, and using the desktop software later on and entering everything.

Seems to work great, but will know better once I enter more rounds.

If anyone has used it - anyone tried out the GPS function?

[JonnyRockets]

Ok - I've got a few rounds entered in Intelligolf. WOndering if some of you better players can tell me.

Putts - On the PGA Tour - do they count putts from the fringe / off the green? Or are those still considered approach shots?

Example - say I'm off the green in the fringe - I make a 25 - 35 foot put and hole it. Would that count as 0 putts for the hole?

or

Say I put from the fringe - knock it close - then tap in. Would that technically be considered an up and down?

Here's the scorecard that program can spit out.

also - here's Stats that program can spit out - this is taken from 3 rounds of 9 holes from the same executive course.

Stats Example

It also does this neat thing called dream Round - where it takes all rounds at a selected course into account and tells you what your best score would be if you took the lowest scores for each hole.

That's not a putt. It is however a "chip" or an attempt at an up-and-down.

Example - say I'm off the green in the fringe - I make a 25 - 35 foot put and hole it. Would that count as 0 putts for the hole?

Yep.

My software does that too, but calls it low and high (it takes your high scores too) eclectic.

[JonnyRockets]

Thx for the response.

I'm finding there are a few options for software on pocketpc and palm - and most of those options have desktop software as well for your computer. Prett cool stuff. Also - about 5 programs out there that can utilize a bluetooth wireless GPS unit. (or any GPS unit you can plug into your PDA.)

Your software going to be MAC only? Going to be able to sync / have sister software for handheld devices in the future?

Right now I'm quite enjoying this software - but loving screenshots of others I may try as well. Jon

when i use my putter from on the fringe, i always class it as a putt, should only need to use the putter twice max on a hole.

[golfchief]

iacas has it all right , If it's on the green it's a putt otherwise it's just another shot.

My software is desktop software. You keep track on a scorecard and enter your stats - five per hole - in about 30 seconds, total, after the round.

Currently Mac OS X only, but soon to be Windows too. Our definitions of "soon" may vary, though.

I used intelligolf for a while but I'm also a mac user and got too irritated having to power up a windoze peecee POS to take advantage of it.

I'm writing my own software which will be available online soon, and free.

Yeah - I think where intelligolf shines is on the pocketPC plactform - I think that's what it was developed for initially and the desktop softwrare was added after - who knows.

I use the nethandicap.com, its cheap 30 bucks for a usga handi instead of 50 at your club and it tracks all the same info, even makes charts and graphs which I find confusing but they look good
