And rewards, well we know that those are great.” –Grahm Peschel “I set-up the golf course I managed with this app and software. It is very user friendly. My retired members used it with great ease. I highly recommend Golf Status for both players and courses.” –Brendan Young “The best thing about the app is its functionality on my iPhone and the daily/monthly prizes. The prizes are great and the app is a breeze to use.” –Ross Wenzel “By far one of the best golf record and advanced scoring app around.... and you have the possibility to win items!!!!” –Gary Wright “People like having the chance of winning free stuff and GolfStatus not only does that, but it also helps golfers keep track of their own results within the app. Most people should track that anyway so it gives them an extra incentive to do it.” –Patrick Hanzel “I use GolfStatus every time I play which is not as often as I would like. I really enjoy the scorecard feature and I use it often. It’s easy, fun and convenient. ” –Christian Deane
