We cannot deny that golf has come into the technology age! Gagets and lasers and the internet has helped us refine and in fact could redefine this great game. Ben Hogan believed that the ability to judge distance simply by sight was as critical of a skill to be learned and developed as driving or putting! Today we simply laser the top of a flag stick and get the exact yardage within a second. I am sure Mr. Hogan wouldn't appreciate how easy this has become.
Here are some of my favorite technology options for golfers to consider:
APPS:
1) iPing Putting App - FREE with a $29.99 adaptor - this app allows you to tell what type of stroke you have, how much face rotation you have on your putting stroke and your tempo. It will even fit you for a putter type.
2) My Swing by Tiger Woods - $9.99 - great app with clear video content to watch Tiger's swing.
3) V1 Digital Coaching Video - FREE - another great app to video your swing and compare yourself to some of the top PGA and LPGA Professionals.
4) Golf Tracker - FREE and $1.99 - ability for you to track your stats through a round.
GPS APPS
1) Golfshot: Golf GPS for iPhone - $29.99
2) GolfLink Game Tracker - $9.99
3) GolfLogix - $39.99 per year
4) View Ti Golf - $29.99 per year
And the best app on the web... It is the Oregon Golf Association's Tee Time app powered by Quick 18.
