GolfPlay has been created as an answer to the high demand existing amongst golf lovers for reliable, accurate and free software. Its objective is to give support to all the real time necessities of a golf player during a game, using GPS location and an online querying site where it is possible to access to their game statistics, tournament creation and a social network to exchange impressions with other users about the sport that links them: golf.

GolfPlay is expected to be an open forum for its users, with place for their opinions and ideas; and a reference as support software for sports players. And what is more important: it’s a FREE tool, without any fees or payments and with a non-expiring license.

Still in its “Prototype v1.35c” version and one month before finishing the first development phase, GolfPlay stands out with the following features:

• Map rotation to achieve a hole oriented visualization.
• Distance, number of shots, score and hole data calculations.
• Statistics and reports, what makes GolfPlay a useful training tool for players.
• Weather information of the courses.
• A web platform where players will be able to share information amongst them.
• Real and 2D visualization of the course.
• Distance measure in different metric systems (yards, meters).
• A simple and intuitive interface that provides the user with easy course selection and game tracking.
• Support of mode HVGA-P (320x480, portrait).
• User creation from the mobile platform.
