Is it me or is everything slowly being taken over by an app? I recently got my paws on a new Droid cell phone and instantly hit the “App Market”. What the hay, I enjoy the game of golf. Why not search for golf app’s? I fire the four letter word inquiry off into that mobile virtual data bank and BAM…the anxiety and disorientation begins to set in.

I am now looking at an infinite list of golf apps with no clue as to which ones are good, cool or won’t mess with my phone. I guess I could google them but that’s just another set of subjective opinions and we all know the deal with that. So, I figure filtering the results to “golf GPS” would be a little easier…mmmm…not really.

“Ok, so this golf GPS app has a one star rating but it looks good and it’s free!” I say to myself. “Wait, I can’t have a one star app on my new Droid! My friends will laugh at me…” As idiotic as that sounds, it actually crossed my mind. It’s like we’ll be on the course and everyone in the foursome will vie for that Alpha golf GPS app position. You know what, if I buy that $20 GPS app I’m sure I’ll be top dog of the golf GPS app kingdom.

What the f@$# am I saying!?!?!? I really don’t need a golf app to show me distance when I can’t make the shot even if I’m on the 100 yard marker and know it’s an easy pitch all day. I got it! I’ll download a golf swing app to help my swing so I can download the GPS app to know the distance so I can download a putting app to putt better. While I’m at it, I’ll download the brain app so I don’t have to use mine. Maybe I should have went with an iPhone. :o)

Hit’em long…yell FORE!
