Hi all. I'm looking for a good game I can play on an iPad that will help me think about course management.mhave tried a few but most seem to be simply a game, rather than anything that might help train. Currently trying WGT but feel there must be better out there. Thanks.

No video game can really help much with course management or any aspect of golf for that matter. It is just way too easy compared to actual golf, no reason to not shoot at every pin and make 18 birdies.

I'm looking for a decent golf game to help me develop my course management skills. I have tried a few but they seem to be more about pure entertainment and selling you new clubs, just like the real thing.

The best I've found so far is WGT which works well on an iPad. Does anyone else have any recommendations?

I like how he changed the title to computer game instead of ipad game ;)

Go buy the book "Lowest Score Wins". Just it's stuff on game management is worth the price of the book. That is only 1/3rd of the book. :)

I'll second LSW, but for entertainment value if you can find a copy of Tiger Woods 2013 for PC get it. Create a golfer with approximately distance levels and crank back the other skill levels and don't take the skill level ups. Play the different courses with your golfer. You'll suck. Learn how to play the game first before you do this. I think the biggest problem with these games is the lack of 3D because I have trouble with the 2D representation of the course and figuring out exactly where the ball is going to go whereas I don't on the golf course. Hence "Tiger Vision".

Still when you play in real life you still have to be able to hit the ball consistently enough to get it there.

      I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
