love the app, definitely 10mtrs out but don't care, suits my game. but not liking it when the adds come on but can't get back to the hole being played. keep swiping & swiping down , try holding screen but take ages before distance & hole being played comes back on screen.

Very disappointed that they took away career Stat totals. Building and seeing your stats over the course of 100-200 rounds is awesome. They took it away because they said it won't make you a better golfer. Ya, so. Maybe look for a different app before you start NOT collecting stats on this app. And the response I got to this review is... We keep all of your stats over your entire account history. We no longer display it. DISPLAY IT...!

Thank you for the review and feedback, Thomas. To clarify, we keep all of your rounds and stats over your entire account history. We no longer display the lifetime total number of pars, bogeys, etc., but we display the per-round averages, giving you context to the stats and insight into your game. Please email again with any further questions.

The new version is much easier for shot tracking. Not sure about the suggested clubs. That hopefully will get better as I enter more data. Haven't found where I can see average distance for each club. Been using the app longer now. Except when the GPS on my phone wasn't working (old phone problem) this app has helped this new player a lot. Love being able to look back and see how I did at a particular course. The only thing that it would be nice, is if you could look at your history at a particular course. Without scrolling through every round.

Thank you, Ilja, for the great review and feedback! We have received requests similar to yours regarding history at a particular course, so that may be something we can implement in future updates.
