Next up in my look at the best golf apps out there, is iGolf Rules.
Golf Digest says that it’s “the best effort yet to decipher the Rules of Golf.”
The golf industry awarded it “Best New Product” at its two largest golf trade shows.
And more than half a million people are using it in more than 50 countries.
It’s a little on the pricey side, but well worth a look to solve those on-course arguments!
Search ‘iGolf Rules’ at the Apple Appstore for more details.

Here’s an app that every golfer should have – it’s called Golf Shot and it has a huge amount of features, the most notable being that is measures how far you have to the green using GPS on your iPhone or Android device.
It currently includes data on over 35,000 different courses and is remarkably easy to use, there’s nothing more to do than download the app and you are away.
It also allows you to fill in scorecards for each course, gives you course statistics as well as aerial views and ‘Touchpoint Positioning’ – where you can touch your target on the screen and it will give you the distance from where you’re standing!
It retails at around £21 but is money well spent if you’re a precision golfer – and even if you’re not it also tells you how far away the bunkers and lakes are!

Welcome to part four of my look at the greatest Golf Apps currently available.
Now you can have a Stimpmeter — that angled track that releases a golf ball at a known velocity so that the distance it rolls on a green’s surface can be measured — at the touch of your fingers.
Using an accelerometer and complex algorithms to work out the stimp reading, iStimp can compare the speed of the greens on a new course with your home course to improve your putting, or use it to compare different greens on the course to check the consistency.
You also can store stimp readings to review at a later time. Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Welcome to the third part of my feature on the best apps out there for golfers.
Today I’m looking at SwingPlane, which captures video using the built in video camera on your device. You can easily analyze your swing with its playback and drawing tools, allowing you to see if your swing is on plane, check your set up angles and monitor head movement, shoulders dipping, etc.
Sample videos of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and others are included. Additional purchases of videos featuring Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and others are available.
Frame by frame advance and rewind is available, as well as slow-motion playback and repeat playback. You can export videos to Facebook, Twitter or email.
