Apps to help you play better golf
It’s the start of golf season for many who are hoping this will be the year they take their game to the next level.
As PC Mike Wendland reports, adding the right golf app to your smartphone could give you that edge you seek on the links.

Send videos to the app and receive voice-over video lessons with one of their instructors. The app is free for iOS and Android with premium features available for purchase.
If you’re more interested in what happens after you hit the ball, try the Golf Tracer app. Set your smartphone up behind you and hit the “trace” button. The app does the rest, graphically showing you the trajectory of your ball. Customize shots with overlays, details about yards or condition, and more.. The app is $5.99 for iOS with premium features available for purchase.
The super serious golfer will want to consider Golfshot Plus.
