Golf "Caddy" App

[hanuman]

Been looking for a decent golf app that allows me to track my score around a course and perhaps be able to analyse my game a little. GPS would be a nice touch as it would allow me to understand better what sort of distances I am getting.

I've installed and tried a few demo versions.
Wireless 18 - works quite well as a simple scorecard.
We Golf - have installed but not tried yet as I need to get a registration code from them..
Intelligolf - this looks like it might be clever - but the interface feels a bit clunky. Does GPS but doesn't seem to recognise the N95 GPS only BT devices.
Mobi-Caddie - found this on the Hong Kong Nokia site. Works with the N95 GPS so you can track individual shots, has a nice user friendly interface. But it seems to have been made for a SE Asia market. The inbuilt courses are SE Asian as is the payment pages. The municipal courses I generally play are unlikely to figure in anybodys database of courses (although there is an upload facility in Wireless18) so I know I'll have to setup my own courses.

What I think I want is to be able to mark the tee using GPS and be able to make a note of the club used and whether it hit the fairway, went left, right, bunker or water, and then walk on down to my ball. Marking where it landed with the GPS to capture the distance, I'm then ready for my second stroke so it would be mark, note the club, left right etc and repeat until I hole out.
Then onto the next hole.

Wondering if there are any other N95 users out there with a similar requirement who've had any experience of what works well before I spend some money....

And the people behind you wait, and wait, and wait....

I emailled Intelligolf last week and they said they were working with Nokia to get their software to utilise the N95 built-in GPS. They hoped to release it in a few weeks.

I want the same thing. I would love to have an self tailored idea of how well (or bad) I hit each club... what kind of average distance I'm getting from each club in the bag, etc... Not to mention - I'd like to be able to view the hole I'm on and see the distance the green, bunker, water, etc...ahead of me - to help me better choose a club. The N95 with its built in GPS would make for a GREAT caddy, and its hard to believe that NO ONE has the software out there yet to do it.

Why would this process take that long at all? I can see it taking no longer than five seconds to select the club from a list, and mark the shot left, right, bunker. Five seconds, no problem.

true, it shouldnt take long enough to annoy those behind, providing the software was made well enough.

hopefully it would be as im hoping to start playing again soon as some of my working hours are reduced on fridays
