Anyone have a good app for measure the distance of a golf shot in the iPhone?  I found a free program called "Golf Shot Distance" but it's pretty slow.

I'd basically just like to have something where you hit the button where you're starting... drive to where the ball is... hit the button again to see how far you hit it.

I don't need anything fancy...

I never thought of trying an app like that. This piqued my interest and I found this.

I'm gonna try it next time I go out.

FYI: I got an "invalid address" when upgrading an app this morning - I think Apple changed address validation.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Ooh that looks interesting. Currently I have to piddle around with GolfCard GPS for distances.

Search for "golf gps" in the iTunes App Store. There are many, many choices -- free and paid.

I use Golfshot, which tracks distances exactly as you've described and also keeps score and collates your stats, while giving you pretty accurate yardages all over the course. "Fancy", yes, but for less than the price of a dozen balls, it's been an absolute bargain.

I have "MyCaddie Pro"--now it's free!--and it has a feature called "ACTIVE SHOT" that measure distance from where you hit (you tap the button) and where you end up (tap the button again to get the distance).

It also has GPS and you can map your own course, if it is not mapped already.  It also keeps track of your stats and scores.

One of the best free app for iPhone.  With iPhone 4, only about 15-20% battery drain for 18 holes.

I can vouch for MyCaddie Pro...I've started using it this year and everything Yukari stated is correct.  This free app is awesome and it does it job well without draining your battery life.

If you are willing to pay $19.99/year for it.  Unless they've added that feature to the free version...

I use Golfshot.  As mentioned above, it works great for all the features noted, including the measuring of shots.  As a plus, and Golflogix (at least the paid membership version the last time I checked) does this as well, it allows you to log those shots by club with yardage and accuracy information so that you have a history and an average for each club.

    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
