Golfshot for the iPhone: GPS on Course
Golfers are fanatics when it comes to their game. They’ll play in the rain, snow and even in thunderstorms. The only thing most golfers like nearly as much as playing the game is buying the gear to play the game. The folks behind Golfshot for the iPhone are looking to get in on that action with the release of their app, which uses the iPhone’s GPS on the links.
Golfers using Golfshot can score their rounds using the program, but that’s not the main draw. Players can track their round using the aerial images of over 15,000 courses (more added continually) and use the GPS to track progress. The program brings an accurate range-finder to the table using the GPS for accurately spotting the lay of the land. The program is a hefty $29.99 in the App Store, but golfers will pay that without a second thought.

This app is amazing – it saved me from having to carry a $299 dedicated GPS device and there are no additional annual fees like there are with SkyCaddie. This has been one of my favorite iPhone apps. Unfortunately, the stats it keeps is providing documented proof that I can’t hit a fairway if my life depended on it. I highly recommend this for any golfers out there who read this.
