Great iPhone Golf Apps
Golf is no longer the elitist sport it used to be. More people are golfing now than ever. The so-called "Tiger Woods Effect" has helped make golf much more mainstream and “cool”. Many people who have never golfed now follow it religiously and others who play the game also love to watch it on TV. Because so many people are playing and following the sport, iPhone app developers have answered the call with some great iPhone golf apps and iPhone golf GPS apps. iPhone golf apps can be used by everyone, from weekend golfers to addicted “hacks” to the serious amateurs to even the pros. So, what are the great iPhone golf apps? Here are ten:
The Masters Golf Tournament Just about everyone is interested in the Masters. It is the first major of the year and the start of the golf season for many. TheMasters Golf Tournament app provides news feeds, video clippings, and all sorts of various information about the tournament. This is one of those great iPhone apps that is both free and essential for golf enthusiasts!
smartSCORECARD for oobgolf This is perhaps the simplest application on this list, but just as useful as the others. It serves as a scorecard for up to four players. Long gone are the days that a broken pencil leads to a true test of your memorization abilities and in turn, lower scores! This iPhone golf app is convenient and practical, and it lets golfers keep track of their scores even after the round.
vCaddy This is a bit more complex scorecard for your iPhone. This app claims to have been the first GPS enabled Golf tool for the iPhone 3G! The system allows you to find out how far you are from the hole from anywhere on the course. It is somwhat pricey, but it offers more features compared to the pretty basic smartSCORECARD app. This is an iPhone golf app that you could really take a liking to.
Where to Golf You can find a restaurant using your iPhone. You can find real estate listings using your iPhone. So it’s not surprising to have an application that helps you find a golf course. This is another simple but useful iPhone app for hardcore golfers.
Golfshot: Golf GPS This is more expensive than the standard iPhone app (most handheld Golf GPS systems are at least 10 times this expensive though!) but is very much worth the cost. It gives players a zoomable aerial view of the golf course, shot distance tracking, and other similar GPS features. Another bonus is that there is no subscription or annual fee. This is a great iPhone golf app.
FreeCaddie and AirVue Golf Looking for various golf GPS services? FreeCaddie and AirVue Golf are two more iPhone golf GPS apps that are worth checking out.
FreeCaddie is just that, free. There are over 9000 golf courses mapped. If the course you play isn't mapped, you can actually map it yourself and enter it into the database. This is a really fun concept and is taking off.
AirVue Golf is $9.99. There are a lot more features available in this app. There are also more courses mapped. This is an iPhone golf GPS app that is a lot of fun and very easy to use. These two iPhone golf apps are definitely worth trying. They are much cheaper than most similar apps on the iPhone and are both a lot of fun to use.
TeeShot and TeeDroid 3G Keeping track of your performance?
TeeShot keeps track of your strokes and other key stats! There is GPS functionality included in this app. There is a great scorecard as well. There are a lot of features that allow you to do things that you wouldn't think an iPhone golf app would let you do! If you are a serious golfer, the $19.99 cost for this app is nothing!
TeeDroid requires a 3G phone and has a lot of similar features. There is one big difference though. This app is free!
ViewTi Another iPhone golf GPS app is ViewTi. There are currently eight versions of this app (different prices and functionality) and they all have some standout functions that cannot be found in other similar apps. Plus, all the versions have a very extensive database of golf courses, not limited to the United States (it actually spans 30 countries, perfect for the globetrotting golf player).
