Golf Companion is the app you always want to carry it whenever wherever you play golf. Like other golf apps, it does keep scores, calculate handicap & statistics, GPS and more.
Are you looking for an golf app which allows you to download course information? My app might not be the answer. Golf Companion doesn’t provide downloading course information for you like other apps. Then, should you input all course information? Answer is NO.
If you bogey out a hole, you write down 4,5, or 6 depending on par; the reason why you need course information to keep score. Or you can simple write down +1 on scorecard. Golf Companion uses latter method to keep the score; I found this way is easier and simpler.
