Mobitee…..not just another iPhone golf app

by Dean Dyer on June 29, 2011

I generally only do product reviews when I come across a golf product that I’m genuinely excited about……….and I’m naturally cynical when I’m approached to take a look at a golf product, which happens fairly frequently.

However, I’ve made an exception this time. While the creators of Mobitee, a GPS assistant for the iPhone (+ iPad & iPod), reached out to me to tell me about their freshly updated app, I quickly saw the value in what the guys at Mobitee have developed.

I’ve tried a few GPS apps on my iPhone, but the thing that stood out for me with Mobitee is the number of useful features that are integrated into one application. In addition to the ‘bread & butter’ GPS tool, Mobitee provides the following features:

Welcome Screen

Welcome Screen

  • guide to approx. 25,000 courses worldwide….incl. course address, green fees and directions
  • flyover of each hole at each course  (this is a pretty cool way to visualize hole layouts when playing a new course)
  • club advice for each shot based on your club yardages
  • interactive scorecard, with the ability to keep scores for up to 4 players (the scorecards can be shared by email after the round)

At US24.90 it’s not the cheapest iPhone golf GPS app on the market, but it’s definitely one of the most feature rich and user friendly.

Mobitee Lite Download Competition

Until 10 July 2011, if you download the free Mobitee Lite you go into the running to win up to $250 in prizes…..a pretty good way to try out Mobitee for free and give yourself a shot at collecting a prize.

Golf Channel the best destination for your Golf Fix

May 1, 2011

What started as a quick visit to the Golf Channel website to look back at the 2010 PGA Championship turned into a couple of hours online this watching The Golf Channel’s “The Golf Fix” videos…….a reasonable alternative to the golf that I’d planned to play until the wild weather rolled in.

If you haven’t already you [...]

Chris DiMarco has an opinion and he’s happy to share it – not your average pro golfer!

July 18, 2010

I’m currently spending about 90 minutes a day in the car (sometimes moving), on my way to and from the office. I’m not a big fan of commercial radio, so have been using this travel time to indulge in a variety of podcasts.
I recently discovered some pretty good golf podcasts on the PGATOUR.com website, the [...]

The Tube: Indulge in the best slow motion golf videos on the web

July 4, 2010

I’m finally investing some time to properly analyze my golf swing in an attempt to correct some fundamental swing flaws. After seeing my swing on video a few times now, I reckon I’ll need to invest a lot of time! I did come away from the range today with renewed optimism, having successfully applied a [...]

US Open Interactive Play Tracker: Because TV is no longer enough

June 17, 2010

Just sat down to take in the first round US Open telecast and quickly discovered that I needed more than what the guys at NBC were sending me. It seems that in this age of on demand content, I’m not satisfied with sitting in front of the TV and waiting for score updates, waiting for [...]

The Tube: Tom Watson Chip-In at the 1982 US Open

June 5, 2010

“I thought it was over, I thought I had won the tournament” were Jack Nicklaus’ words from the clubhouse when Tom Watson hit his 2-iron into the gnarly fescue grass to the left of Pebble Beach’s 17th green. It was the closing stages of the 1982 US Open and Watson was about to chip in [...]

When too much golf isn’t enough

May 31, 2010

A few months ago I came across a great news website called Alltop. It describes itself as an online magazine rack, but the site essentially collects headlines from the latest stories from the best news sites and blogs that cover a particular topic, eg golf.
I generally head for PGA.com or Yahoo Sports for my golf [...]

Already looking forward to The Presidents Cup 2011

May 23, 2010

Last November I shared a fantastic golfing experience with a couple of good mates……..seeing Tiger Woods win the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath Golf Course in Melbourne, Australia. The golf was great, Tiger was iconic (and still a role model!), the weather was perfect, the company was easy and the beer was, well beer. Our [...]

The Tube: Justin Rose makes a pretty good golf instructor

April 7, 2010

I recently went looking for swing tips on YouTube to help me to hit both a draw and a fade with more success than I’ve been having of late.
What I found was the video below featuring Justin Rose with one of the most concise explanations of how to hit a draw and fade swing that [...]

Internet golf radio (in case you don’t get enough golf)

March 29, 2010

As I write this post I’m listening to a wrap-up of the Arnold Palmer International on internet radio from PGATOUR.COM.
I’m not sure how long this radio program has been around (not long from what I can tell), but I think I’ll be tuning in regularly. I live in Australia, so I’ll be sleeping through most [...]
