I enjoy monitoring things over time (Google Reader trends, my investments, spending habits, etc). For me, golf adds one more thing to the list. However, there’s no real easy way to monitor my golf game over time. Especially since it has potential to span across years and years, adding up to hundreds (if not thousands) of rounds. To make things easier for me, I’ve decided to build an application I’ll call Golf Trac (excuse the cheap name, but it wasn’t that important to me).
Currently, it’s only in a sign-up state. I had originally planned on doing it for myself, but I know of at least a couple of people who would like to use it, which was reason enough to build it for others, as well. I don’t plan on having a “social network” around it, as the original reasoning is for those who want to track his or her own game. Of course, if I see some sort of need or reason to add social context, I may, but it’s better for me to start off with the basics. However, I have considered a mobile interface (to post scores as you play), but since I’m not really into mobile technology (yet?), that’s not a priority of mine.
So if you’re a golfer and think you might be interested, sign up to find out when it’s ready (curious minds are fine, too).
