Earlier this year I was looking for a good free GPS rangefinder. I had tried several free/inexpensive apps on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but wasn’t completely convinced any of these was the best rangefinder. As they say you get what you pay for.
I found Golf Pad GPS and tried the free version. It has a lot of great features, and works great as a rangefinder, but I quickly realized the app can really help me improve my game.
In addition to being a great rangefinder it also has a scorecard for up to 4 players. I can track my shots, see where I landed in the fairway, track my GIR, accuracy and puts.
There is a complete playing history I can review after the round, edit scores and add notes any time.
