Top 5 Iphone Apps for Golf!
1. Breakmeter:Shave strokes off your golf score with BreakMeter. This application uses the iPhone accelerometer to measure the angle and magnitude of the green slope in two directions. Use BreakMeter regularly and you’ll train yourself to recognize subtle breaks — and make even the toughest putts. .99
This app is one of my favorites. I found out about this app while being a caddie for a PGA Tour player. During the practice rounds you are surrounded by caddies and players finding the pin placements for the next day since it was a Monday Qualifier. These guys would stick this level type thing on the hole to figure out the break. Well, my buddy was a caddie for another guy in our group and the player breaks out his Iphone. Wondering what the heck he’s doing, I go over and look. It served the same purpose as almost every other caddie was using. The kicker was all the caddies saying “you’ve got to be kidding” I paid 100.00 for this thing! How much was that? .99! It does take some getting used to figure out the degree thing but nothing more than a few minutes.
2. Golflogix: Get the best GPS on your smart phone. 24 hour free trial. 39.99
I just downloaded this app a few weeks back and after the free trial version I purchased it. It wasn’t a cheap app at 39.99 but I’m happy so far. Finding the courses is a breeze. The first time I used it I went only off the GPS to see how close it was. I’m a pretty good player and know my distances pretty well and it wasn’t off by enough of a distance to be a factor. To any players that aren’t scratch or better, this will be perfect for you. My buddy had a bushnell to give precise yardages but him being 2-4 yards difference showed that this app is awesome. I still went with the app just to go with it.
The battery life wasn’t so good with me. It lasted until number 14 and that’s with me using my other phone for calls. I didn’t use this phone for anything other than the GPS. I was disappointed. Well, I should have paid attention more. Every time the pop-up came up for the battery suggestion, I just ignored it. After not ignoring it the next time, I made it through the round no problem.
3. Iswing: Simply record your golf swing with iSwing's built-in recorder. Then replay the swing frame-by-frame, in slow-motion, repeated playback or the new Motion Echo® setting. 5.99
Ok, this one is good. If you’ve ever been to golftec and received training from them, you will know how expensive this stuff is. This thing is only 5.99 when those golftec lessons can cost you 100’s. I’m sure you can get a little more value out of the guys but Iswing for this price is hard to beat.
My favorite part of this whole app is the frame-by-frame sequence. I’m the type of player that plays off of feel so going to a sequence is not my usual thing. After using this app, I can see where I’m off and correct it for the next day or the next time I play. It’s hard to see a lot of stuff on an Iphone but this app lets you send it to your e-mail or upload it to your facebook. That feature is a must to use.
I do use the touch-screen drawing a lot because I have the tendency of a bad set-up with my legs being too straight. This always makes me get back to the fact that I need, for me, to slightly bend my knees a little bit. I also use this to see my take away. Too many times I’m taking it back to far inside when for my swing, I need to take it straight up the line or a little outside.
Seeing their videos it usually has a guy holding the phone so I was scared about that but of course they were on top of that and made it to where I can put my phone on my bag and be able to record shortly after for solo recording. I highly recommend this application. There’s a lot more this can do as well so go visit their site for more information.
4. Where to Golf: Directory of 1000’s of Golf Courses. 1.99
I don’t use this application as much as I should but I like it none the less. So many times I go out and play courses I’ve never played and with a touch of the button I could get all the information on the course I need.
Say you are going on a trip and need to find a course because you have a free day. All you have to do is enter the zip code, city or golf course name and it brings up all the courses in your area. It tells you if the course has a driving range, it tells you the weather and even the type of grass the course has. You can call the shop form it, get a gps map of directions to it and even see what the earliest tee time is available.
The only improvement to this app I would suggest is the editing part. I’ve edited a bunch of courses and they just don’t come up as changed the next time I go into them for some reason. There are lacks of reviews but I expected that since most websites out there lack reviews. It would also be cool if you could see a tee time available and with a click, book your tee time and it’s charged to your Itunes. I guess that kind of app is a whole different story. Maybe we just thought of an app! Let’s call it Iteetime ;)
Overall I would give this app 4 or 5 stars and that’s only because of the few bugs. Fix them, and this app is great.
5. Igolfrules: This application provides the answers to your rules questions in a matter of seconds. You have a virtual referee constantly at your side that helps you to use the golf rules to your benefit and utilize all the relief procedures available. 9.99
I like this app for one reason. It helps my friends play by the rules. I have a buddy that has always thought when he goes O.B, he gets to drop where it goes out and hit 3. I honestly downloaded this app just to show him he’s wrong because he’s never gone by the rule. He now says I’m a Brad 14 handicap instead of his normal 10. I’ve e-mailed him the rules over the years. He knows I’m a professional golfer and still never believed me. By-the-way, he still goes by his rule because he thinks it’s too harsh of a rule, haha.
Yesterday was good evidence on why I like this application. I was in a situation to where I was playing with a local head professional at his course and his rules seemed off to me. I hit it left into a bush in the desert lining the fairway. He told me they play that as a lateral and I thought it was unplayable. I look and it was actually an unplayable but he then said by “their” local rules it was a lateral. I played it the way I thought and took unplayable. He then said I could have gone with either choice but I don’t go by “local” rules.
Anyway, this app besides that is very good to learn the game. It does sometimes take awhile to load but it’s never been a problem to me.
All these above are my opinion. I'm sure there are tons out there that I haven't given the shot. I have personally tried over 50 Iphone applications and these are in my top 5 for their respective information.
