I‘ve had my iPhone for a few months now, enough time to try out way too many golf apps……and I’ve had some mixed experiences (I wrote about my thoughts on the iSwing app a few weeks ago).
There are literally hundreds (possibly thousands) of golf apps for the iPhone, and many of them are fresh off the developer’s desk and potentially not as stable as they should be. It can therefore be a bit hit and miss in finding quality apps that do what they claim.
So……here are 5 quality golf apps that actually deliver:
1. Golfshot GPS
There are plenty of GPS enabled golf apps on the market these days, but this one leads the pack. The stats tracking and rich charting really set it apart from the others
2. iGolf Rules
A bit pricey, but very practical. It can take time to to find the correct ruling in our little rules book, so we often don’t bother. This app makes it much easier and quicker to make the right, and it’s much more fun to use too
3. Let’s Golf
I’m not really into online games, but I actually enjoyed this one….for awhile. If you’re into games, then try this one – it’s one of the leading iPhone games
4. PGA Tour
This one is great. Get live scoring from the PGA, Nationwide and Champions Tour, as well as player bios, videos (highlights, etc) and tournament schedule. I used it on the way to work the other day to check live scores as the AT&T Pro-Am reached its climax
5. My Golf Swing
I’ve only just started using this one, so can’t attest to whether it will improve your game, but love the idea. This application is aimed at developing a consistent swing tempo. You can even model your tempo on the pros, including Tiger, Vijay, and Sergio

I recently picked up the Golf Swing at http://www.ianalyzesports.com and the app is pretty awesome – just a lot of features i myself wouldn’t use
