Shot Pattern - Golf GPS

I love using this app to plan a strategy on how to play every single course.

Very helpful in giving us additional insight into my game

It’s amazing, would be even better if a mental score per shot was option!

The shot/round tracking is solid. I do not like the stats and analytics. Mark Broadie or Scott Fawcett apps are much better for stats.

One week or one round of golf is not enough time to get a feel for this app. If they really believes in the app they would offer 60 days (allow for multiple rounds of golfs). If it was that good everyone would then pay the $100 bucks a year for it.

I used to make yardage books for my daughter who plays for high school. Came across ShotPattern and right away loved what it does. Two thumbs up and looking forward to more features added to it down the line.

Some of these companies greed is their motto. This is clearly one of those. We want to force you to sign up and give us your information. Go through this process and then guess what you can’t even try it out until you give us 99 bucks.

The idea of this app is great. I am really looking for areas to improve my game and really get a better sense of what my biggest faults are and my strengths. I’m also in general a high handicap so most other apps compare you to scratch golfers or pros which isn’t helpful at all. So the idea of using my game data to figure this out was really appealing. However, actually using the app during a round is just an exercise in frustration. I tried the one week free trial and got 45 holes in before just giving up on it and going back to GolfShot. The first round I tried it out on was a complete mess. I ended up deleting it because I missed so many shots on the course trying to figure out how to use it. I found myself more frustrated with the experience of using the app that it took me away from the actual game. So I went back and looked at the tutorials to understand how the designers expected me to use it. I then tried it on again on 9 holes and still found myself struggling with its usability. I did one more round of 18 before calling it quits. Things it does well 1. Setting your target handicap for improvements 2. Importing shot data from trackers, this is a great way to get started with populating data for your first time out. 3. Giving you a clear understanding of what you’re doing well. Turns out my lack of distance off the tee and dispersion isn’t my main reason for losing strokes. 4. Course previews and overlays of shot data is useful. Some Of my issues: 1. You can’t just input your score on a hole, you have to go and make sure all your chips and putts are accounted for. Which means you’re either doing this on the green or on the next tee and slowing down everything. The faqs say you can do this after your off the green to save time, but it’s so cumbersome on the app that you end up fighting with your location at the time, trying to figure out where your ball was in relation to green, moving the map around. And since you can just leave your score for each hole, you either have to keep track on another app of a real scorecard and then go back to the app after your round. So your juggling two things at once while trying to concentrate on your game. 2. The watch features and app features don’t line up. You should be able to select your club and track from your watch but the only thing you can do ‘mark location’ which forces you to go back at the end of the round and fill in all the blanks. So your either pulling out your phone on every shot to

The app takes some getting used to but it is a great concept and I will imagine everything will get better with time. The courses aren’t necessarily preloaded with out of bounds/tree areas so you have to do them yourself at times.

Really excited at the ease of use and Course Preview feature with strokes gained detail incorporated into Targets and tracking. Definitely going to help my course management and hopefully help me shoot lower!
