I just got myself an new HTC Desire and can't wait to use a GPS/Scorecard program .. any reccomendations?

What about Golfshake having its own GPS/Scorecard app integrated with the website .. or partenring with one of the app developers to make it compatible ..

That would be awsome ;-)

Yep it would be so awesome, I've wasted many an hour on it but have yet to reach a sensible solution.

Watch this space though.

I think the popular consensus is Freecaddie for GPS data, howfarami for simple driving distance and take your pick for score tracking.

What I think would be great is that a joint venture with Freecaddie (I use the paid Freecaddie for android and windows mobile)

Freecaddie has all the apps for all phones (free and paid) but has rubbish forums, score/HC tracking and no comps etc etc

Golfshake has everything but the apps

Also this would merge the two sets of users so this would be good for commerce for both sides

All good ideas but I think you'll find that phones etc have been banned from competitions. so you'll no longer be able to use them in the monthly medal etc.

Can't you tell Floody has a 'proper' GPS and is all snobby and sniffy cos mine was free

Chris,

your okay as you don't play proper golf anyway

Golfshake Android app would be awesome to find a course, log score as you're going round and upload it into golfshake for instant hanidcap updates

Richard, will provide some updates in 2011. Watch this space.

i used skydroid on my android very good app but its very draining on the battery

I vote Droid caddy its not great but it certainly works..

I used to use freecaddie for my iphone but it was miles out at my home course so I switched to golf shot GPS. I have now switched to an Android phone I have brought golf shot again for this format and must say I think it is outstanding. Much better than the freecaddie apps, it is a little more expensive but well worth it.

Phone GPS are banned for comps because they can apparantly give wind direction, speed and read greens, I wish someone would show me how they did that. I see people using them all the time in our comps no-one bothers really as I don't think people use them to get anything but yardeages out of them but I would imagine  if you played with a stickler he could get you DQ'd for using it.

So if you want to use something for a comp then get a real GPS as Mr Flood recomends but if it's just for casual use then they are ideal.

I would just be happy being able to post on the forums via my android phone http://www.golfshake.com/scripts/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angry
