TrackMyGolf Golf GPS

Have you thought about tracking your club stats? Then you may have looked into gadgets, you know those that sell tags that you screw to the end of your golf clubs, and when you swing a club, you have to tag it so that the system knows you have recorded a shot? I am one of the early adopters. Let me tell you the stats are amazing, I finally know which club I am weak on. But, the process of using those system is a nightmare. I have to constantly remember to tag my shot, which distracts me from my games. Until one day, I found out about TrackMyGolf app. I have an Apple Watch already, so this is a no brainer to download. And I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised how good the system is. I regret not finding out about this app earlier, so I wasted all that money on the useless gadgets. Unlike those tag systems, where I have to remember to manually tag my shots, the Apple Watch automatically recognizes that I have swing, so it auto captures the shot. I can input the club used later on or on the spot, and move on. It is a painless process. I am a happy man now that I save money, automate data collection, and still be able to see the same data insight. Do not repeat my mistake wasting money on gadget, if you have Apple Watch, you have everything already, if you download this app.

Got a brand new Apple Watch, primarily for playing golf, then downloaded a couple of golf gps apps, and it turns out they all need my phone to be around. That defeats the whole purpose. On the course, you want quick glance, not pulling out your phone from pocket, then unlock it... I came from Garmin golf watch, it is super convenient that I do not have to lug my phone around with me. It gives me all the information I need, right on the wrist. It was a big improvement from having to hunt down the sprinkler heads, and estimate the distance from there. Now that I am spoiled by the golf watches, I am really surprised all the Apple Watch apps need the phone to be around. The independcy from phone of TrackMyGolf convinced me to upgrade to premium. I believe, if you have the LTE version of the watch, you do not need the phone at all. But I have an Apple Watch series 2, I need to download courses when the phone is around (understandable because you need network connection), and then I can use the watch without the phone. I found out later that even this is needed only once, when I played the same course next time, the course is already cached on the watch, I do not even need to have phone anymore. During the round, the watch gives very accurate GPS distance. I compared with my Garmin watch, it is usually within a couple of feets. I also checked with a friend's bushnell, it is dead on too. I am glad that I can finally ditch my Garmin watch, I do not want to charge two devices at the same time. For those of you thinking about buying an Apple Watch, this is the number one reason you should get it, because you do not need Garmin, you do not need Bushnell any more.

I have been a long time user of TrackMyGolf. I normally never write reviews, but I love it so much that I want to write this. Part of the goal is to save you time evaluating. I have done extensive evaluation with the various golf apps out them, let me tell you, they cannot compare with this app. Just look at the UI, you can immediately tell it was designed with love, clean and beautiful homepage puts me in the mood of golfing every time I open the app. But, that it is not all, there are a lot of attentions to details. For example, in the watch app, when you input scores in the simple mode, you can tap on the watch to quickly increment or decrement scores. Or you can quickly input through predefined (par, birdie, eagle) input. Either way, I can be done inputting score within few seconds. In comparison, in some other apps, I have to turn the crown to select scores. The Apple Watch's crown is not the most friendly input method, it is not precise, I end up having to fiddle with it for quite some time, that just frustrates me, and you do not want that in your golf game. For those interested in stats, this app has tons of it too. In Pro mode, it auto tracks each of your golf swing. I am surprised no one has done it yet, it is such an innovative use of the Apple Watch. Trust me, get this app, it solves all your needs.
