SHOTMaster iPhone Application

SHOTmaster is a 99 cent iPhone/iPod/iPad golf application which provides some good basic instruction and golf tips.  The application provides textual as well as video golf instruction for nearly every type of shot a player may encounter on the golf course.

From the main menu the user can access the shot category, video list and golf tips list. Some of the data overlaps between the selections.

When sleeting a shot from the main menu, like a 50 yard bunker shot, the next page displays text pointers and a supporting image, or may contain a link to view a video.

Critiques

The videos are YouTube based.  The drawback is if there isn’t an available web connection or the device doesn’t have web access you won’t be able to view the videos.

Conclusion

From plugged lies to stinger shots, SHOTmaster is a useful mobile golf application.  I don’t think the rules of golf allow use of these tips during stipulated or tournament play however.
