How far is the green? In yards or meters?!

How far is it from the next obstacle to the green? Caddy.Me will help out!
It works on any golf course in the world!
Does Caddy.Me work on my golf course? It’s very likely that it will – Caddy.Me works on any golf course in the world where you have GPS reception and an internet connection.
Now with scorecard - Stableford, Handicap, anything !
Flo´s Weblog: “And I have to say: It’s really precise!”
PCmagazine: "Having no course markers to work with, Omaro estimated the yardage in at 150 yards. Caddy.Me gave me a much better read of 170. That would have saved me a stroke for sure."
You’re playing golf and the next hole is a par 5 with a dogleg right. A bunker and a water obstacle guard the kink to the right. Does the stroke go directly over the obstacles to the green?
Caddy.Me will show you your position. Move the map until the center of the crosshairs is over the desired target. Press the red flag and the display will show the distance.
How far is it to the next bunker? Caddy.Me will answer your question if you zoom in to the map (double tap with one finger!).
Should you choose your landing zone to the left of the obstacles or directly between them? That depends on the distance of the next stroke – wouldn’t it be nice if you knew the distance from the bunker to the target? Zoom out (two finger tap!) and move the positioning pin to the bunker and the crosshairs to the green. Press the red flag again – and Caddy.Me will show you the distance.
Scorecard: Enter the names of the players, even with their handicaps and the number of strokes for each hole. Your data will remain stored even if you leave the app. You can write over the data at any time or you can completely erase the entries.
Caddy.Me is a distances measuring device which uses the Iphone GPS function to determine actual positions. It uses Google maps to determine the distance to the green (or other targets). A satellite image will show you your position. You can move the position marker (for example closer to a tree) if you don’t receive the exact position. This will then appear on the display when you press the red flag. Now move the red flag to the green or to another target. The display will show the distance.
You don’t have to wait for your favorite spot to appear in the database or even use a tool to recreate the location.

Customer Reviews
Just Not Practical
I bought this to try it out and I must say that it is a good idea not taken far enough. It's too cumbersome to try and move the flag to the area you want on the green for every hole. I just recently bought Greenfinder and love it. This is a nice little tool if you really need to know the exact distance to a specific location as a last resort. I just can't recommend this application for serious play.
Haha $.99
Haha I bought this when it was 99 cents! It's a great app, it's nice that you can move your position and put the flag where it is, it's perfect if you have an iPhone first generation because it doesn't rely purely on gps, it WILL work with cell tower triangulation, which , again, is good for original iPhone users. It's also great for the courses that you play more offer than others so that when the pin location changes, you can move the pin ok the iPhone (my "usual" course has one hole with two different greens, and courses move the hole around to keep the entire green healthy) so overall:
Usability: 5/5
Convenientness: 5/5
Coolnesssss: 5/5
If you play golf, you need this app!
first rate app
I have used the app now for more than one month and experienced no difficulty. The pin and the flag are easy to use and I especially like the fact that it works everywhere, even in Germany. Off course it is somtimes not exact -same with all GPS distance finders.
