Off course would be DECADE for strategy and ShotScope for performance. DECADE does have some practice aspects, but they started after my subscription ran out so I don't use them. @acatalano32What do you use and what are your favorites, are you just trying to get some ideas for yourself or do you use any?

DECADE has combines for putting and iron play and speed drills for putting. For practice I'd look to something like Adam Youngs book The Practice Manual. I would personally not look for an app but drills that would be helpful and the just track my performance over time in a spreadsheet.

GolfSpy_APH Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I've actually gone away from using apps. Arccos was my go to for the last 6 plus years. However ditched that and currently going app less. There is a good scorecard app i have tried once or twice, it has all the slopes and stuff for all our swiss and German courses pre downloaded. However i don't mind just using a pencil and original card. Curious what others use!

YamYam Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The best by far of all the free analysis apps was "Coach's Eye". It came free with very few ads on Android and Apple. You could pay a small amount to upgrade which gave you a few tools, such as the ability to draw lines to identify swing planes. The main plus was that it produced slow motion video from imported footage from your phone. And it was ultra-slow which could be stopped or reversed. Unfortunately, the developers, for some strange reason, decided to abandon it and stopped updating it. I wish that they would take it up again, because it was far superior and cheaper than many of the other video analysis apps that are still around, including V1.

Then 4 years ago I retired, changed my diet and lifestyle, lost 100 pounds and got back on the course. Its been a struggle but things are getting better.

BrenkJ Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 My group often plays Wolf on the course. Half the time, the guy keeping the Wolf score (sometimes me) screws up the scoring along the way, and we have to re-trace our steps and figure out where we went wrong. Is there a scoring app out there that can keep track of the money on a game like Wolf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomborivera Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The Grint. Best app I have found yet. Post scores directly to GHIN while keeping score for all kinds of different games for FREE. They keep basic stats for GIR, Fairways, and putts. You can upgrade your experience for more detailed stats.

RAM Golf Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 GRINT - I have used the Grint for years and love it! It has an app for the Apple Watch. As soon as I walk off the green I am adding my score, putts, distance of first putt, club used on drive, where drive landed left right wide left wide right, and there is a screen with options to select whether you had a water/penalty, OB, Fairway bunker, or green side bunker. After the round it give you all of your stats, Fairways hit, Greens in Reg, and Putts. When friends use the app you get notifications and can track their rounds.

KevinEik Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The Grint is a great app for golf. Applies a social aspect to the game, along with the ability to track shots, track analysis, provide yardage in play, and even grants the ability to get a handicap. Me and my buddies use it for multiple reasons… to see live scoring updates from group to group, track multi round tournaments. We recently used it to track a Ryder style tournament we played on our last golf trip. Hailstorm13 and Deacon Blues 2 Quote - Kevin E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marchetto Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I was using the USGA GHIN App for handicapping and GPS. The free version will suffice for most - $39.99 for it to work with Apple Watch. I also got a Bushnell Wingman for xmas and I have been testing the Bushnell app, which works pretty neat too.

russtopherb Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The only app I use is 18 Birdies. I have it synced to my Apple Watch so I can get yardages and enter scores right from there without having to take my phone out of my pocket.

pjaxx88 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have used a number of different apps since returning to golf in 2018/19. I started with a scorecard app that had some mapping but little in terms of stats. I moved to Golfshot which had a better function in stats and being app to record shots on a GPS track, I know the premium version allows you to manipulate the shot tracker should you wish to see a lay up option. Have tried GRINT and 18Birdies but I have found the best stats recall and layout and directory of courses I use Taylormade On Course. I had been recording every round but of late with a need to flatten my handicap differences I play each shot and use a scorecard.

Saturday Morning Sherpa Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I agree with the others that mentioned Hole19. It is the ONLY Apple Watch compatible GPS app that really meets my criteria of - 1. Works on Apple Watch's built in GPS capabilities 2. As an option, keeps stats 3. Auto hole advance. Quote a. Iron specs (flex, length/lie). Callaway Apex Smoke 4-AW 1" long 3* upright Regular graphite shafts b. Driver specs (loft/flex). Titleist TiS1 Senior Flex c. Dexterity (right or left-handed).

Digiburdie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Arccos all the way! I've been using it for years and the data I've obtained from it is next level. With the new AppleWatch Ultra's battery capacity, having the watch track makes using it a breeze. It's finally at it's peak IMHO. I also really like Golfshot, but Arccos is my every round go to. The caddie feature gets better with every update. Quote Twitter: @bobbyburdette Instagram: bobbyburdette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I've tried a few over the years (V1, Hole19, Golfshot, Golf Canada) and I keep coming back to 18 Birdies. Great for electronic scorecard and running tournaments The practice mode will take side and behind videos for evaluation and give items to work on. Looking forward to new features added over the winter Decent free app, even better when you unlock paid content.

Fractalgeek Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 My favourite golf app is probably YouTube! I use the Top Tracer range app to look at my numbers. I wish I could look by date for eg gapping sessions, but overall I can make it do what it needs to do. I also have Sky Caddy (device) and the linked app to do things like course favourites, and I wonder if they have every actually used the app or web interface themselves to game tracking. Simple things, like recording OOB shots are not even documented in the game tracking app. An inability to mark shots as "duff or good" means you can't analyse for your bad shots separately from good. (While purists may say "total distance" means every shot, I find that a waste of time. I want to know OK or Good for planning yardages & carry, but also say which ones failed, so I can analyse where a shot is the wrong one. Yardage is irrelevant if you have eg clipped trees. What you want to know is how often a particular club carries the trees vs another. On course, my Garmin moved reliably between holes; I never feel that is transparent with the Sky Caddy device.
