Wait, I learned that years ago, just noticing that a competitor is learning that now.

Modelling your decisions after Apple’s “Our way is the only way” until we decide “Our new way is the only way” is not a good way to operate. Its the reason why apps exist to replace Apple’s “our way” apps in the first place.

And then telling the people that don’t like your changes that “it is better this way” feels a little arrogant. I think the customer ultimately decides what’s better for them.

Sorry, this was just a little rant, after seeing a company that still seems to have really faithful fans and Apple’s eye, handle a situation extremely poorly and not even realize it or get called out for it.

They rejected this for using a “private API” that I have used in basically every other application I have made. The API basically is part of the way to tell the game to start in Landscape Mode. Now they are rejecting for it. Yet another reason Apples super long review process is so crappy!

Don’t know if you’ve already seen it, but it seems to have a heap of good data for iPhone developers …

*Stableford scoring using handicaps. At the moment, the Stableford points mean nothing without takking into account the players’ handicaps and stroke holes
*GPS distance tracking from tee to ball
*Graphic representation of putting results

Otherwise, looks like a great product. Will give feedback after my round. BTW, I’m down in South Africa, where we play golf all year round…great weather…

Well, I did some golfing up north. Ive climbed back down into the 40s and the new clubs have stayed long(actually Im closer to 15-20 yards longer now) but I still want to get out and break 45. Im not even sure I did that when I was right out of college, but surprisingly having more length and only teeing off with a 2 hybrid so I go straight off the tee actually tends to help your game… Who would have thought… Anyway, I had a chance for 45 up north, and blew it the last hole… Got a 7 for a 47…

So the up north tally for the one person other than me that might be interested…

Played Barker Lake Golf Club, which was an old gangsters club, and it was awesome as on a beautiful night my wife, brother-in-law and me had the course all to ourselves.. I shot a 48…

Then brought everyone(including our 3 year old) and I played with my father-in-law, brother-in-law and wife and shot a 35 on the par 3 course up there… Father-in-law… Around 50! +1

Then we played 18 at the pretty scruffy Couderay Course (though extremely cheap). First round shot the 47 with father-in-law a 49… +2

Then the 2nd nine my brother-in-law and I decided to loosen up and enjoy some drinks and didnt realize that someone tightened up and instead of having fun was almost annoyingly serious the 2nd nine.. Yeah, cuz even though I had won the first 2 Up north ‘Nines’ it became obvious that if he beat me by more than 2 strokes on this back nine, he was gonna use that as braggin rights back home. Fortunately for him, we didnt even notice until about hole 5, and the course was setup perfectly for his somewhat unconventional game(meaning he doesnt really have a pitch so runs everything), and I didnt figure out the small out of shape greens all day(I had 3 three-putts in the first nine and 4 in the 2nd nine). And well, by hole 8 we were secretly rooting him on as he had a VERY nice score going. Hole 9 we actually helped him look for his 2nd shot for like 10 minutes so he wouldnt have to take a penalty stroke… He got a 7 for his all time low score of 43.. I got a 51, so he did get the nod for 18 and I bought him a beer. -1

And then we had to bail from “Up North” early for a wedding, but the Sunday morning after, we were still around so we went to our local back home course for Nine with one of his friends… and the guy that shot a 43 just three days before proceeded to shoot a 73…. on NINE!…. I got another 48 I believe. So… +1

I think that should really put me at +2 if we break it down by nines.. I just now want to have my game of my life… Sheesh…. It never really has all come together.. Im about one bad hole away…
