Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 8 at none against Simple Golf 2D's shown. 8 also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Simple Golf 2D's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
