jhaynes4211 0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I use Golf Logix on my Android phone, been using it for about 5 years now, was better at beginning now is more confusing than helpful. I tried Golf Shot by Zoom that fails on so many levels I went back to Golf Logix. I'd try this though not a big fan of watches? Jim Link to post Share on other sites
