Sports apps are among the most popular app category on iTunes. And Golf games are among the more entertaining batch of sports games made on the top of iPhone platform. AnyTime Golf is a super iPhone game for anyone who’s interested in playing golf while they are on the go. Anytime Golf uses a modern set of 3D graphics to bring you a load of golf fun when you are down.

The first time I tried Anytime Golf, I was struck by how much effort the developer had put into developing the amazing 3D graphics that you see in this app. But this is more than just a beautiful game. The interface was easy to navigate and the game play was a load of fun. All you have to do is use your fingers to perform backswings and downswings. As you can guess, you can change the speed and accuracy of the shots easily with your fingers. Swinging hard and accurately takes a bit of skill, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t make a good shot in your first try. It took me a few tries to get it.

What I love about this game is the fact that you get to unlock new challenges as you play your way through this game. There are 5 “unlockable” challenges and 6 challenges in total. You can also practice before joining tournaments (I strongly recommend you do).

Overall, AnyTime Golf is a super 3D Golf game for iPhone. The game is pretty straight forward and the challenges are exciting. I would love to see more challenges, and it would be great to have more characters to choose from as your golfer. But if you love Golf, you’d be missing out big time if you don’t give AnyTime Golf a try.

Verdict: A-

Caddy.Me is your very own personal golf caddy, expect you have it all on your iPhone. Caddy.Me is a distance finder and a scorecard all in one application. CaddyMe uses Google maps to help you determine the distance to your targets. You’ll have a satellite image available to you which you can use to mark your targets. Caddy.Me works on most courses around the world, but you’ve got to have your GPS and Internet working for that to happen. You give your target location to Caddy.Me and it will automatically estimate your distance. That’s really helpful if you need help in this area and don’t have your own Caddy to consult.

The scorecard is yet another useful feature for all golfers. You enter the name of the players, their handicaps, and the number of strokes for each hole. Your data is secured on your iPhone and available when you need it.

The idea behind Caddy.Me is very innovative. It clearly addresses the need of many golfers around the world. The application has so much potential and don’t be surprised if new features are added in the near future.
