Attention Range Rats
MyiSwing is the perfect application for range rats. Built for the iPhone 3GS (to take full advantage of its video capabili- ties), recorded swing clips can be viewed in slow motion, frame-by-frame, forward and reverse and can be analyzed utiliz- ing a variety of drawing tools. Save each swing and catalog it by player name, club choice and camera angle or even e-mail the swing to your PGA teach- ing professional. Future updates are to include swing clips of professionals for comparison. Priced at $4.99.

a sampling of the best available apps covering all aspects of the game from your swing, to scoring to making a ruling. Stay tuned to your respective phone’s app store— applications multiply almost daily.
The Majors ring in
Each of the four major championships in 2009 had iPhone apps with services ranging from live scoring to full video action. Fans benefi t from course information including video fl yovers, live action of marquee groups and holes as well as live leaderboards with customization so you can follow your favorite players. Available through the iTunes store for free with the exception of the PGA, which costs $1.99.
Are reading greens a challenge?
BreakMeter, the golf green reader, is the perfect practice aid for golfers who fi nd reading greens a challenge. While not legal, the app can be used in a practice round where you won’t post your score. Place your iPhone on the green and it will tell you degrees downhill or uphill and the amount of left or right break. Use the app enough and your eyes might start seeing those subtle breaks by themselves. For the iPhone only, the app is priced at 99 cents.
