Golfshot App

Today is Spring Mobiles "Spring Sand Trap Classic" golf tournament, so with that being said, I thought it would be appropriate to post an app that could be useful on the course. I haven't actually used this app, but from the reviews it seems to be a pretty useful tool. "Golfshot" uses GPS to show you where to aim and how far away the hole is. Once it shows you where to hit the ball, you are then able to track the distance of each shot when you reach the ball. Available on the iPhone and Android Markets.

Traveling this weekend?

For all you Fourth of July Weekend travelers this app could be a useful tool when filling up at the pumps. It works like most of the other typical gas price-finding apps, except gas buddy seems to have the most up-to-date prices. You enter your zip code in, and by default the stations list from closest to furthest, but there is the option to sort by price. You can also cycle through the prices for different fuel types (regular, mid-grade, etc.). It also allows you to switch from a list view to a map view, which puts the locations on Google Maps with the price of gas below.
