It seems hard to keep up - I know it is for me! From GPS apps, to swing analysis apps, green reading apps to practice apps, apps for keeping stats and score, and apps to help us train. In this series on apps for golf we look at the various instructional apps that can be used to enhance your golfing experience. In this article I review 3 golf instructional apps that can be used as tools for game improvement. Everyday Golf Coach Listen to interview >> Cost $7.99 Rating 7.5/10 taste of the app for free with the Lite version, which offers you 1 video from the 5 categories. If you like what you see you can then upgrade to the full version. Beware you will need some room on your mobile device to store the videos, so, if you’re like me and pack your phone full of data, you may need to delete some photos or videos from your device to make space. Once the videos are downloaded though there’s no need to Wi-Fi and videos are stored forever.

I would rate the video quality 7/10 by modern high def. standards and audio quality 8/10 as there is some background noise to deal with. Everyday Golf Coach is now available in HD on the Apple iPad. Among the 32 videos, themes range from swing shape and plane, wrist hinge, stability and timing, sloping lie to shots played from the rough, and an array of short game shots.
