My silly New Years Resolution this year was that it was the “Year of Golf”. It was a fun little game I played so that I can hype up the fact that I want to play a little more golf and hopefully get back to the level I was right out of college. Don’t worry I’m not good…<\/p>\n

It is kind of a built-in excuse to play more and to finally replace my?irons that I bought right out of college(~12 years ago). They were nice clubs but at the time I dont think they pushed custom fitting clubs as much. Im a little on the taller side so have been playing with clubs that were over an inch too short for me for 12 years. It definitely made me bend?my knees but…? Anyway, I?already have?the new Taylor Made Irons and had them lengthened, and if the driving range stays accurate I may have added 12-15 yards to my iron play. Nice.<\/p>\n

We also moved to a location where some really nice courses are more accessible along with a good driving range really close. So Ive?already taken advantage of the range quite a bit for my ‘Year of Golf’.?Its a good quick stress reliever when my head is spinning with C++.? Oh, and I also took the oppertunity to update my wife’s clubs so she plays a few more times too…<\/p>\n

And finally, my father-in-law, brother-in-law,?and I are semi-competitive and besides fishing the other competition?that?we have fun with??on our ‘Up North’ trip is golfing. I was pretty dominant for a few years, but now they both have purchased clubs and taken up playing a little more, so… I better too…<\/p>\n

But the point of this as it pertains to Mobile is that with this I have set aside a few weeks to update one of my popular applications, FairwayWatch<\/strong><\/em> -?our golf scorecard application. I plan on using it more, but if Im going to do that I will need to have it compatible with Standard devices(I carry a Q). So?what Im looking for is feedback on what would make this a must have for all you golfers out there? ? Here are some things I am planning on or already have added…<\/p>\n
