OUR MISSION
We create professional mobile applications for all golfers. We understand that your primary goal is
to improve your game, compete against friends, and have fun while you are out playing... not be distracted by the tools
you use.
RANGE FINDER
A significant part of the world's courses are mapped out.
Up to 56 markers per hole.
Viewing modes:
● Satellite view
● Traced view (patent pending feature rotate, center, and zoom to always
keep the golfer at the bottom of the screen and the green at the top, without any finger touches, even while you are
walking).
● Sorted marker list. Arrows point in the direction of each marker and update as you are walking.
CLUB BAG (in-app purchase):
● Organize the set of clubs you actually use.
● Record every hit you make
(including swing strength).
● See overall averages for each club.
● See a map of hits right on a map
display.
● Automatically record tee off club and distance to score card.
SCORING
● Strokes and putts for up to 8 players. Golfers typically just want the basics cause there’s not
enough time between holes to enter several different stats.
● Advanced scoring (via in-app purchase): tee off club
& distance, fairway hit:left:right:long:short, chips, sand shots, & penalties.
● Up to 3 simultaneous side
games (any side game you can imagine). You enter the points per hole, and the totals for front, back, and all 18 are all
automatic. Includes automatic side games: Skins, Skins - no carry, & Stableford.
● Email the score card in a
great looking HTML format.
GolfNet POWERED ASSOCIATIONS
● Download your official handicap index form your GolfNet powered association.
● Upload your scores to your GolfNet powered association.
● Note that some GolfNet powered associations do not
allow mobile access. You should ask your association to allow access.
TOURNAMENTS
● Anyone can register a tournament.
● Any number of players can enter a tournament.
●
Players can play anywhere in the world. No need to all be at the same course.
● Scoring is net based so players of
all skill levels can play against each other.
● Has a live leaderboard to always know everyones score and rank.
Anyone can view the leaderboard even if you didn’t enter the tournament. Hook up your device to a TV for all to see in a
club house.
● Great for leagues. League leader’s can send an email to get csv data to put into a spread sheet for
tracking handicap indices.
● Email the leaderboard in a great looking HTML format.
PROTECTING YOUR ROUNDS ONLINE (in-app purchase)
Your rounds are stored in the phone, but that does not protect
from a lost, broken, or replaced phone. Use a one tap online backup for all your rounds. Backing up has never been so
easy providing you peace of mind that your rounds are safe no matter what happens to your device.
BUDDY TRACKER
A huge leap in social golfing...
Buddy tracking allows a golfer to publish their current
location on a golf course, and also upload messages. Friends and family can watch them from anywhere including home or
work. They can also see the latest messages published by the golfer.
Have a great time golfing.
