I'm currently trialling Swing By Swing GPS and it's good, really good! Of course you don't get the "elite" functionality without a subscription but as a free GPS it's great so far.

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.

I upgraded to the "looper" level and am happy with it.  For what you pay it works great.

I recently installed Pocket Caddy for my iPhone.  It is very easy to use and automatically calculates where you should aim based on wind speed/direction and changes in elevation. It is really amazingly accurate.

Golfshot

don't buy the golf scape it's not worth it - doesn't centre when using and I find that the markers for yardages are off! Battery life is garbage iPhone will be dead by the time the round is done BUT good at keeping scores, stats on GIR FIR etc so you know where you are struggling.

GolfCardGPS paid version for $3.99.  Recently downloaded the now Shotly app and looking forward to trying it this weekend.  Looks pretty good (the free version).  Anyone try it yet?

Hi, Hugh here.

I have tried a few different apps ... GolfShot, Swing U, Golf GPS and VPAR.

I am currently using an iPhone 6s with these apps and cannot recommend VPAR highly enough. It is by far and away the best of these apps. The GPS feature is very accurate although it does not always get the tee positions correct when switching between Black, Blue and White markers but this deficiency is easily overcome by using the ball position marker on the location of the tee box. It has several excellent features and the scorecard is easy to use.

The only thing I really need is a suitable cradle to hold my iphone on my clicgear 3.5+ cart which does not involve using the umbrella holder as these 2 accessories need to be used in tandem to see the screen clearly when used in sunny conditions. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Hugh here as well. Hello from Florida.

I like Golfshot as well. Although after 3 years another app would have to be unbelievable to get me to switch.

Hole 19

Another vote for Hole 19. The app can be used in an Apple Watch. I just leave the phone in the buggy and refer to the AW4 for the distances when I’m in the tee box/fairway  

I also use The Tag Heuer golf app. The graphics is better and it also provides distance readings across several areas around the green. It can also be added as a complication in the AW.

I'm using the Pinpoint Golf app to keep track of my stroke statistics. It is available in both Android and iOS versions.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
