Mobile Golf Score and Stats Tracked at Colony West


Today I had a chance to play a round with my golfing buddy Paul. We reserved a tee time at Colony West in Tamarac at 8:00 am. By 8:15 am the temperature on the course was a steamy 91 degrees. That didn't bother me because I was anxious to test out a cool new mobile golfing application.

I use a Blackberry as a personal organizer and email communicator to help me stay focused in my professional life. I am a Search Engine Marketing consultant so having to keep in touch with my clients is a necessity. I regularly search for cool applications to download onto my Blackberry that helps me keep track of important information, Web sites, and other things..

The other day I found a great tool for keeping track of my golf scores and stats while on the course. Check out, Wireless18.com. The benefits of using this mobile application are numerous. For one thing I can upload or "post" my scores and stats to the Web site. This allows me to track of my handicap as well.

Once downloaded I found it simple to use. I started up the program as was quickly downloading all the courses in the zip code that I searched. Once I found the course that I played at, I was able to download the course hole distances and pars.

On the course, while playing, I turned to my Blackberry to quickly add stats such as, fairways hit, greens in regulations, chips, sand shots, sand saves, and number of putts each hole.

I must have liked using the application so much that I took my mind off my game. Click here to see my public profile and stats.
