Now that I’ve had my Iphone for almost a year (after fighting the smart phone mania for many years), I must admit it is one of the coolest things I have ever owned. As a phone it is no better or worse than any other phones I’ve owned, but, the apps. That’s where the rubber meets the road.
I already have a fair amount of fun apps loaded, but, now it is time to get serious. Yes, I’m talking a golf GPS app. I managed to get out to Arrowhead yesterday and I had a demo golf GPS app that allowed me to use it for two holes. I am certainly not against technology advancements, but, I usually draw the line between purposeful stuff and things are too gimmicky for my tastes. Yet, after using the golf app for two holes, I thought, ‘Now this is something I just may really like.’
Do I think it will make me a better golfer? Probably not, but, it sure will take the guess work out of club selection which should ultimately count for something and it really seems like a waste of time to have the phone and not avail myself of its possibilities.
So, I am fairly certain that I will take the plunge. With that in mind I did some research which resulted in more confusion than clarification. There are a lot of apps with a wide range of prices and a ton of complimentary and competing features. I have to admit, after and hour or so, I started to re-think the idea. But, I will soldier on and make a decision. If anyone has any personal preferences please post them. At this stage all opinions will be gladly welcomed.
So, until the quest is completed, I will press on and hopefully sometime down the road, I will be able to report back on my choice.
