Long strokes, approaches, and putts are the basis of LAPGOLF golf software. By examining these strokes and putts, LAPGOLF can generate over 36 different customized statistics for you. These stats allow LAPGOLF to suggest improvements, which in turn improve your skill level.

You may ask, what are long strokes, approach shots, and putts? All of these are routine shots made by golfers on the golf course. More specifically, the difference between each is defined below:

Long strokes are used to hit the ball as far as possible in the fairway. These shots require power control.

Approach strokes are used to bring the ball as close as possible to the green. These shots require precision.

Putts are the strokes used on the green to roll the ball into the hole.

How does LAPGOLF know which shot is which? Simple, the PDA golf software lets you identify the nature of each shot; this is handy as the distance associated with each of these strokes varies according to your individual power and technique.

As LAPGOLF is the only golf software program that distinguishes between these three kinds of strokes, the program can therefore manage and analyze the data that each stroke generates. Therefore, this allows you to watch your golf game evolve as LAPGOLF highlights your strengths and weaknesses.

Best of all, when you’re done playing, you can take this data over to your golf instructor. Based on what LAPGOLF says, your golf instructor can give you the help you need, exactly where you need it.

One of the best functions of LAPGOLF PDA golf software is that it can be used live on the golf course – requiring only a few seconds of your time.

Recording the strokes is easy; all you indicate is the club you’re using to hit the ball, along with the sort of stroke you’re making (long, approach, or putt). Once you’ve entered this, you’re done. Now simply close LAPGOLF, hit the ball, and then travel to your new position on the course. Once there, simply pull out LAPGOLF again, indicate the new distance that separates you from the hole, and repeat the previous process.

If it sounds relatively simply, it is! And to make things even simpler, LAPGOLF PDA golf software displays a picture on the right hand side of the screen that helps you manage the clubs stored in your bag. Along with this, LAPGOLF will also display the average distance you hit by club. This information can be found displayed below each club, and it’s given in both yards and feet.

LAPGOLF PDA golf software allows you to consult your on-screen stats (also known as TV Stats) whenever you play. Whether in rain or shine, or in tournament or non-tournament play, you will always have access to a table that displays the following:

Your tee shot average;

Your percentage of tee shots on the fairway;

Your percentage of greens in regulation;

Your putting average; and

Your differential for the round.

Go ahead; throw your pencil away. Besides, with the LAPGOLF scorecard you’ll never need it again anyway.

LAPGOLF golf software comes with a unique scorecard that’s available on demand for holes 1 through 9 and 10 though 18. The LAPGOLF scorecard breaks down your current game into your long strokes (L), approach stroke (A), putts (P), along with penalty strokes (Pe), missed shots (Ms), your total number of strokes (T), and the differential (+/-) for each hole.

If you’re curious what this looks like, take a look on the right. For example, for holes 1 to 9, you can see the golfer is experiencing difficulty with long strokes (+6), however the golfer seems to handle approach strokes well (-2) and putts (-3). Also, the golfer doesn’t have any penalty strokes or missed shots, and we can see the golfer hit the ball 37 times for a score of one over par for the first nine holes.

LAPGOLF PDA golf software can provide you with summary statistics at all times during the game.

As an example, the screen shot on the right displays a summary stats table for a golfer at the end of the 18th hole.

LAPGOLF golf software automatically adjusts the average distance you hit with each wood, iron, and putter. This is displayed in the club management screen below each club.

LAPGOLF can even break the data down so far as to show you the difference associated with your clubs depending on weather conditions, including temperature and atmospheric conditions.

Please note that the image will differ depending if the player is left handed or right handed, and if he is a man or a woman).

In a few seconds, LAPGOLF can supply professional tips that are specific to any situation on a golf course. The advice can appear in image or text format, and the advice is even customized to the golfer’s gender and hand control.

The advice LAPGOLF golf software provides you with includes:

Foot position;

Posture and grip;

Weight distribution;

Ball position; and

Club adjustment.

Not sure which club to select? Don’t worry, just like a human golf caddy, LAPGOLF can suggest which club you should use. This suggestion is based off the following information:

The average distance of your clubs;

The distance remaining to the hole;

The condition of the course;

The weather conditions; and

The ball’s position on the course.

LAPGOLF golf software can save the individual features of any number of golf courses. Users can input the hole distance, par, handicap, rating, slope, and tee off. Why didn’t LAPGOLF register 20,000 golf courses or more like many of the software already on the market? Well, mainly because you will never play that many golf courses and secondly, because nobody can insure the right distance of every hole better than you.

What’s great about this is when you play the same course again, all you need to do is load up the data you’ve already saved. How’s that for a time saver?

Not all holes are alike, and some are so nasty that you may want to record a few notes for future reference. After all, who wants to make the same mistake twice?

LAPGOLF PDA golf software lets you keep personalized notes for every hole on every course you play. So, the next time you play, see what comments you made to yourself the last time around. That’s one sure-fire way of making sure history doesn’t repeat itself!

Hole-in-one, trou d’un coup, Par, Normale, Birdie, Oiselet. Whether you speak English or French, LAPGOLF golf software for your computer and PDA is available in both languages. And if you’re bilingual, good news. You can easily toggle between each language whenever you want.
