Plum Amazing has released Plum Caddy for the iPhone and iPod touch. It costs US$10 and is available at the Apple App Store. Plum Caddy is a golf mapping and scoring application and can be used to track strokes, putts and other golfing statistics.
Plum Caddy provides an interface for keeping track of your score, as well as the locations of each shot.You can use the touch interface to place where their shot went on a map of the hole and track the number of strokes and other statistics. At the present time if the user has a 3G iPhone then the GPS can be used to display the distance between shots.
By remembering every shot on every hole on every course ever played, Plum Caddy provides the golfer with instant historical information, such as club used and location of any shot. Statistics are available at any time during or after a round.
Later this month, the online complement of Plum Caddy called Plum Clubhouse, will become available. One part of Plum Clubhouse will be the golf course construction kit which can create real and accurate maps of any course in the world. Once a user creates a map and saves it then that map will become available to all other members of Plum Clubhouse and downloadable to their iPhones.
These maps aren’t templates but GPS capable maps that will allow seeing each hole with the locations of boxes, hazards, fairway boundaries, and range finding from the golfers position to any of these items. Plum Clubhouse will also add other features like more archiving, scoring and social options which will be revealed over time.
