I don't like inaccurate yardages even if its free. The iOS 4 doesn't magically make the aGPS accurate, that's probably why the negative comments are there.

You guys talking about the Golf Shot app that's $29.99? Pretty expensive for an app...

Yeah. I think I am going to pick it up, you can keep your score on there as well and it goes right onto an online score sheet so you can look over your previous rounds and such on your computer. Gives you a pretty decent amount of stats as well.

I might try it but I'm a bit hesitant. I don't really like the idea of tooling with my phone during a round.

+1 for Golfshot. It's a 1 time purchase where GLogix is a subscription. $29.99 is better than a $300 SkyCaddie.

that said, don't fall for the $20 GolfScape app that the GolfShot people sell. It's a fun toy for about 10 minutes then you realize it is pretty useless on the course.

Golfshot +1. Once you're acclimated to the controls, you spend no more time entering a score on it than you would with a pencil. It tracks all the important stats and you can view your progress easily over 50 or more rounds. It's the best $30 I've spent on my game and no yearly fees.

GolfLogix has a free 24 hour demo period, you might give that a shot.

Personally it was too slow for me and the distances seemed to be off 10-15 yards on some holes.

+1 Goflshot.
The app is so good and convenient. I've used Golfshot more than a year and love it every way.
Since they (ShotZoom) earned my respect, I purchased their GolfPlan & am planning to get GolfScape (Rangefinder with GPS) when I upgrade iPhone 4.

Best $30 I ever spent. Great app, great course database (I moved to freakin' South Africa and so far they've had accurate yardages for every track I've played), no annual fees or extra charges for course data updates like the dedicated golf GPS units that would cost you $300 right out of the gate.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
