Let's Take a Closer Look
The ApproachGolf app has been the missing piece I have been looking for to allow to my trainees to keep the track of their improvements. The ease in which you can log your results and see your game stats is invaluable. The built-in Garmin GPS scorecard import feature makes the score tracking even easier and immediate social networks accessibility makes results sharing with friends a piece of cake.
