Anyone who has an interest in his or her golf game besides, “Did I hit it straight this time?” will find some use in Golfwits Pro. This useful small program aims to help you document every guide, chip, pitch, and putt so that you can increase your game. We don’t reflect that’s too lofty a goal.
You can use Golfwits solely on your desktop PC, and you can also sync it up with your Pocket PC (Windows CE) handheld device so you can take Golfwits with you while you’re on the course. It also comes with a free Palm Organizer version that you can download from the Golfwits Web site. We chose to do the install for Palm Organizers and sync Golfwits up with our Handspring Visor Deluxe. There are clarification about this all over the Golfwits Web site, but just in case you miss them, be sure to do a HotSync with your handheld twice, so that it picks up both the program and the maps.
Which leads us to the maps. They are really the strength of the Golfwits program. From the Golfwits Web site, you can access thousands of course maps all over the country (as well as a few other countries including Canada). A quick search for courses in the Seattle area turned up nearly every course we were familiar with–only one of our favorites was missing. But, the Golfwits folks seem open to suggestions, so if you request a map of your favorite course, they will most likely produce it.
Mastering Golfwits–especially on your handheld–will take some time. We had to sit down with it for a while before we got the hang of how to access statistics and record our ball position and ball path on the course, so we advise that you work with it and the online manual a bit before you hit the fairways. (Not to mention, it took us a while to figure out how to make the maps we downloaded sync up with our Visor–again, read the manual carefully.) But when on the course, once you’re done recording ball position and club used, Golfwits calculates everything else for you: remaining space to the hole, score, and by and large game statistics.
You can also input data into Golfwits on your desktop, but this seems like a secondary function. The largest benefit of the desktop version seems to be checking statistics once you’ve completed a round on the course, and using that information to increase your game. But if you’re using Golfwits without a PDA, you can print out a Pro Book of your selected course from the Golfwits interface, take this scorecard with you, and then come back and input the game manually into Golfwits. Another function that’s pretty impressive is the option to e-mail your game to friends–though we only recommend this function if you in fact played well.
You’d be pretty hard pressed to find a utility that goes as in depth into your game as Golfwits. In fact, we can’t reflect of any program that does quite what Golfwits does, making it an obvious choice for anyone who cares this deeply about the game of golf. –Ara Jane OlufsonAmazon.com Product Description
Golfwits Pro 2.0 is software for the right golf aficionado. It can be used with both handheld devices or desktop PCs. The Golfwits Course Map is at the heart of Golfwits. Each map is a dynamic graphical interface for recording your game. With a tap on the screen or a click on the mouse, you place each shot on a map of your actual course, indicating the shape of the shot and the club used. Golfwits does the rest, calculating shot distances and scores, keeping statistics on your play, as well as automatically tracking side sports meeting. Golfwits will track your ball position on your course map, record flight and club used for each shot, and check distances to green and course hazards. It provides complete Pro-level statistics automatically. After a round, Golfwits can print a scorecard and trophy page of the entire game. You can also e-mail a Viewer file of your round for others to see. Brilliant maps from thousands available online, or make your own maps with the powerful Mapwits Course Builder that is included.
Although the ultimate experience is realized when you take Golfwits to the course on a Windows-powered Pocket PC, people without these devices can use Golfwits PC on a desktop or laptop computer. Golfwits prints a Pro Book of the course that you can take with you and use to record your round. Simply transfer the round to your computer, view Pro-level statistics, print your scorecard, or print a trophy page that graphically displays your entire game.
Golfwits.com has over 4,000 courses available for free download. Golfwits Pro 2 includes Golfwits for Pocket PC, Golfwits for Desktop PC, and the Mapwits Course Builder. You’ll also get a free Golfwits Palm OS download.

I was most interested in the Mapwits program so I could make courses that I play. It took a small bit of learning but it the program works splendid. I was able to make the course and the with Golfwits print yardage books. It is fun to use and a real tool as I play the game.

There is no way to download courses for this product now, I paid for multiple course downloads and now the site is defunct and I only got half the course I paid for.

The product is not effective. I sent numereous emails to support without success. The website loads whenever. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Used on Treo 650

This is a terrific tool but some of the course maps had outdated information. For example, Phantom Horse Golf Course was remodeled 2 years ago but the information in Pro 2.0 still reflects the ancient layout.

I initially wanted to buy the software for my palm. At $40-50 it’s a small more expensive, but the way they analyze seems worth it. Til I saw the real costs, the maps are not free! They costs $10 each, and if not made already, $20 each. One map can cost more than some of the other golf softwares out there. They do have Mapwits software, which with some effort on your part make your own maps, but it’s only available when you buy the pro bundle, $90. If making your own maps is a bit much then the costs can be very high (pda software $50 then adding approximately 12 maps, as much as $90-180 more, totaling over $200). To be honest they do have a lot of maps. They also have a free download version, but you can’t test it without buying maps, so “free” is not free! I’m not rich nor bone idle, so I’ll reconsider them when Mapwits is included with the softwares or available for PC and inexpensive.
