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.

      Too Old?

      By StuM · Posted

      So, you are currently playing right handed but do you Cary a left-hand club just in case you need it for better stance? I cannot play left-handed at all but always thought this would be a good idea if I could hit left-hand.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  i ordered a new Qi 35 Driver, 10.5*, Regular Flex Diamoana shaft. Received by Fed X on Thursday, June 4th.  Took to Precision Valley and had a "Jumbo Grip" installed.  Friday morning, headed to Claflin, Ks. and played 18 holes. Front 9 wasn't to bad but I had hit my budddy's Qi with better success. Finally got a little more accustomed to the new club. I shot a 50.  Back 9, I started hitting the driver really well with the Driver delievering longer and straight drives down the fairway.  On my last drive, it was about 230 off the tee. I shot a 53.  (We play for .10/hole; $1.; Birdie; $5 or an Eagle. I won $0.60)  I was tired and headed home. (46 miles one way to play this course but the yearly rate is very cheap. They also have grass greens instead of sand.) I pull my Golf cart with a trailer.My nearest course witrh grass greens  is 25 miles away. Saturday,  I had the iPhone in do not disturb. Finally took it off of DND and I had a text from my golfing buddy that he wanted to play Hays late afternoon. So, he came by, picked my up and we headed to Hays. I was tired from playing 18 holes Friday and was hoping I could play 9 holes and call it a day. At Hays, KS.. I started off pretty rough and just could't seem to relax enough to hit well. (I was planning of finishing the front nine and the go home. However, on hole number 8, it's a 322 yard par 4, and I was able to get on in 2 and 2 putt for a par. #9 hole is a 114 yard par 3 and I hit an 8 iron and landed on the west edge of the fringe for pin high. Chipped up and 1 putted for another par. Front nine = 53 Headed to the back 9. Eerything started to click and #10 = 6; #11=5, #12 = 5, #13 = 4, #14 (Par 5) on in 3 and 2 ptted for par [Driver, 3 wood, and 9 iron and 2 putts] , #15 Par 4; I had a 6, #16 Par 4, I had a, #16 I had a 5, #17 Par 5,  I had a 5. (Driver, 3 wood, 3 wood, 8 iron, 1 putt; #18 Par 3, I had a 4.     BACK 9:  I SHOT A 45!   Yes sir, I like this Driver. I would like to go out again tomorrow but will see how I feel. My goal is to shoot my age before I turn 80 year old.  So, backto Right handed clubs. Qi35 TaylorMade Driver, 3 Wood, Callaway Rogue; 5 Wood Callaway Rogue, Majek Hybrids 4-PW, A Wedge, Loft wedge (60*); White Hot Blade Putter.    When I decided to change to the new driver, I went back to playing right handed. My hybrids are failrly new and are easier to hit. I do carry a conventional 7 iron in case I ge into a bad rough.  I will keep you up to date as the summer moves on.   Blessings,  RetiredOldMan
