You don’t have to be a good golfer to appreciate any little advantage that technology can give you on the greens. I don’t think there’s a single hole that I’ve ever swung a club a that didn’t result in a double bogey, but that’s besides the point.
One thing that might make it a little easier to get closer to par is FreeCaddie. A range-finder won’t magically turn your game around, but at least it’ll help you choose the right club to humiliate yourself with.
FreeCaddie turns any Windows Mobile smartphone with integrated GPS, or paired with a Bluetooth GPS receiver, into a bonafide range-finder. Using your GPS location, FreeCaddie can tell you the distance from your coordinates to the front, center, and back of the green.
If your golf course of choice isn’t in the FreeCaddie database, you can create your own course profile. But, that doesn’t mean you’re going to walk away any prouder of your accomplishments (or lack thereof) on the golf course.
Grab FreeCaddie here, and let us know if it actually helps your game.
