STATISTIC APPS FOR GOLF | section. You can also check individual scorecards and your percentages on key stats, giving you the option to upload your round to Facebook or twitter. In the 'MYGOALS' goals section, you can enter your goals for key areas of the game and compare these to your current round summary. The 'CLUB DISTANCES' allow you to enter your distances for all clubs in the back which can be used as a reference when playing. The 'TIPS' section is an area where you can make note of any recent tips or lesson notes you may receive from your golf instructor. Z Whether you're the type of golfer that just likes to record your score or a more analytical golfer that needs to know the nuts and bolts, then there's a stats program for you. The GolfShot app is a simple yet comprehensive stats app with some great features including the GPS system used to load all golf courses in the area. I like that it offers the feature of fairways missed left or right and the interface is very modern and easy to use. The Performance Golf Stats requires you to put all your stats in at the end of the round. As mentioned before, this can be a little off putting as this could be difficult for some golfers to remember, though overall a good clean looking application with plenty key areas to note down. The GolfStats app is the only hole by hole app reviewed, though beyond the basic SEPTEMBER 2011 GOLF INFUZION MAGAZINE 29 areas to record, the remainder of the app doesn't offer much to the user and so I feel at a cost of $2.99 it's not really worth it. Overall I think all these apps offer the user ability to keep some basic stats. I think when it comes to more specific short game recording, they are all lacking, as none of them offer stats records on chipping, pitching. You can't record, even if you've had one or two bunker shots on a hole. Stats applications are certainly a great way of keeping track of your scores and of course provide some hard evidence of some of the strength and weaknesses of your game. By getting into the habit of keep your stats, this will certainly pay dividends as it relates to the long term improvement of your game.
