I've started to prepare for a golf league starting this summer, and I'm looking for something that allows me to find my distance, track my stats (club distances, GIR, etc.) and allows me to take specialized situational notes per course/hole.  So far I've been using Golf Logix and taking notes in my iPhone, but was hoping someone knew of a device/app that would allow me to do all of this in one place.  I'd prefer not to use Golf Logix and also bring out a separate note pad if possible.

Thanks for your input!

I usually study a new course using google earth, then make up a card to remind me what to use off the tee on each hole.  It is a little basic, but easy to read.  I then laminate them and keep them in my back pocket.  The example below was for my Florida trip this winter.  I had to make a lot of adjustments this year because it was very windy this trip (20 - 30 mph).

Similar for me ... I try to get the yardage book from the course if they have one and then make notes in there.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
