Find Golfers And Play Now

How cool would it be if there was an app to link up with other golfers that are available to play right now? I find myself looking for golf buddies because sometimes playing solo just doesn't cut it. I mean, who else will witness that 9-iron in for eagle when playing by yourself? In my case, who will witness that uncanny boomerang action spin (known to all as a bad slice) that sends the ball two fairways over?

The developers over at needagolfer.com have put together an app for the Android system that can connect golfers based on certain criteria like location, skill level and handicap. Here's what they say:

"Find A Golfer is a free, simple to use Android application that gives you options when you think you've run out. This social golfing experiment connects anonymous golfers and matches them based on location and skill level. It's incredibly easy to find a nearby or local golfer with your handicap, and even easier to contact them using our private, secure, app to app messaging service.

Find A Golfer has features galore. In addition to a social network-style feed of golfer status updates, Find A Golfer features a simple golf course finder. Tweak your search radius and you'll instantly be able to call up dozens of nearby courses, or get driving directions. Don't like the golfer you just found and played with? Leave a rating and some feedback on his profile, so other golfers know the guy lied about his handicap."

After firing up the app, the main screen appears with a simple and easy to use layout. This cut and dry approach is key, for me at least, I can search courses or golfers in my area using the gps function on my phone. And with the ability to change my search radius I can open myself up to a whole new slew of courses and golfers ready to hack up the track.

Good job with the app fellas!
Download it here or on the Android market.

Hit'em long...yell FORE!
