Learning the proper golf technique requires a lot of work but now golfers can practice not only on the green but also on their mobile phones, thanks to a wide range of golfing apps. They're not all mere gimmicks, says Joerg Schlockermann of the German Golf Association. For beginners especially, the apps can be useful, although they'll never replace an actual coach. Here's a selection:
The Android app Golf Etiquette answers fundamental questions such should I take golf lessons, what basic equipment do I need and are golf shoes strictly necessary?
The Android app Golf Strength Training Workout offers exercises to help a golfer improve their strength and conditioning, both of which can have a positive impact on how far a player can hit the ball. Videos show how to do the exercises properly.
Also an Android app, Golf Swing Analysis allows users to view their own swings and thereby identify weaknesses. A selection of videos showing professionals' swings are included for comparison.
Swing analysis is also available for the iPhone and iPad. The app Golf Coach & Swing Analysis can show user's swings in slow motion and with zoom. In addition there are lessons from coaches certified by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA). The app is free but only for a limited time.
