Yesterday was another fun day on the course! As Jack Nicolas once said, “the first round of the year is always the best, so just enjoy it”, I think that the first 3-5 rounds are like that. Great time of the year.
I have been looking for a new toy and found one this week. It’s called “BBGPSGolf”. The software runs on my blackberry 8900 and yesterday was the first day of playing with it. My home course, Stratford County Club, was not programmed in so had to combine both golf and technology. Can you imagine that. Me trying to play a round of golf while playing with my crackberry? As it turned out, it really was rather easier than I thought. You have the capability to go as detailed as you like. I only started with marking the tee block, front, middle and back of greens. It was quite simple to do and by doing that the course is automatically updated online for other members to use and update. Works a little like a social network for GPS of Golf Courses. Great idea and very handy for other players can add traps, dog legs, ect as well. There is also another interface to do it on their website using google maps but I had more fun doing it during the round and it did not disrupt my playing partners and I still shot mid 80s.
The setup was rather easy. I just downloaded the program using my blackberry browser and it installed straight away. I did have 1 problem in connecting to the network and sent and the program sent an email to the company and Justin replied within a couple of hours. I had to add to change 1 setting on TCP/IP option and away it went.
The best part of the program is that is free. They do ask for a donation on their website of $5.00 using paypal but that is your option. I like the program and even though my cash flow is limited, It’s worth the 5 bucks!
Till the next time.
