I would like to introduce you to the hottest new application on the phone and a revolution for golf practice. currently in the top 15 of free apps after a day and a half, iGolf, a totally free, newly released, first of its kind game for the iPhone uses the iPhone’s accelerometer technology to provide a groundbreaking golfing experience, where your phone becomes your golf club.

iGolf simulates a driving range experience, players swing their iPhones as they would a real club, then look to the screen to see their shot sail over a driving range, ultimately revealing the distance of the drive. Players literarlly improve their golf swing, anytime and anywhere and by saving their high scores they can challenge friends to out-drive them.

iGolf, is an envelope-pushing application, the iPhone’s accelerometer detects the mechanics of a golf swing to determine the quality and distance of each drive. At the bottom of a swing, the phone vibrates and replicates the familiar “thwack” sound of a golf ball being struck.
