One of the fastest growing segments in the mobile app market is golf mobile apps, especially golf mobile apps for the iPhone.  In fact, iTunes now has hundreds of golf mobile apps available, but there is a wide disparity between the few good and useful iPhone golf mobile apps and the less than stellar golf apps for the iPhone.

To find golf mobile apps for the iPhone, simply go to iTunes or the Apple app store and look under the “Sports” category.  You can also do a search query under “golf.”  There, you will find hundreds of free and paid golf mobile apps to help you with your golf game under such categories as:

1. Golf GPS Rangefinder

2. Tee to Green Golf Tips

3. Golf Practice Drills

4. Rules of Golf

5. Golf Scorecards

6. Golf Course Finder

7. Golf News

Like any app, when selecting a golf mobile app for the iPhone, be sure to read through the details of the app and look at the screen shots.  Also read the reviews and try to distinguish between authentic reviews and “fake” reviews by the app manufacturer (these are pretty easy to figure out).  When looking at the golf mobile app reviews, pay close attention to reviews that mention ease of use, ease of navigation, quality of visuals, quality of instruction, etc.

Usually you want to go with an iPhone golf app that provides the best balance among usefulness, ease of use and price.  For example, there are some good golf apps for the iPhone that provide solid video instruction that can be useful away from the course, but is not very practical on the course.  Complement that iPhone golf app with golf tips and practice drills you can actually use on the course.  Then, with a few, inexpensive apps, you have your instructional needs covered, no matter where you are!

Something else to keep in mind is to distinguish between golf mobile apps that are “native” vs. those that need access to your provider and/or Wi-Fi.  Once downloaded to your phone, you can use native apps whenever you like and get the information you need with no carrier or Wi-Fi access.  Many of the GPS apps can be frustrating because they often require carrier/Wi-Fi access and if your coverage is not good, the app does not work well.

So, check out all the golf mobile apps for iPhone and get ready for a fantastic golf season!

Designed by top PGA instructors for on-course play and off-course preparation, Golf Genie™ provides easy-to-absorb golf tips, golf practice drills and golf training aids to accelerate your development and rapidly lower your score.

Meditation – Basic Practice

There is a joke in Buddhist circles: “Don’t just dosomething, sit there.”

What is Meditation?

Meditation is how we train in continuous awareness. It is also how we train in letting go. Meditating might not appear to be very exciting or productive, but try it and give inner peace a chance.

Meditation is a truly transformative spiritual exercise. Beginning meditators do not always connect the simplicity of what they are doing to the essence of the spiritual search, but it is all there to be discovered by those who try it. The Dzogchen teachings of Tibet say one moment of total awareness is one moment of perfect freedom and enlightenment. You do not need to seek elsewhere; it is all within.

The Practice:

Begin your meditation practice in a place that is quiet and free of distraction. Sit comfortably with your back erect. Stay alert and yet relaxed and at ease. This begins the training in mindfulness, or in cultivating heightened consciousness and awareness.

Begin breathing in and out through you nostrils.

Mindfully breath in, mindfully breath out.

Let go of the natural flow of energy and breathing, and learn to simply let it be.

Pay close attention to each and every inhalation and exhalation, following the breath – the object of your attention, all the way in and all the way out.

What is the Purpose of Practicing Meditation?

Breath awareness practice may not seem immediately productive, but give it a chance. Some spiritual masters make it their primary practice throughout their entire lives. Mindfulness of breathing is the basic mediation practice, and yet it has the power to reach and enhance all levels of consciousness.

It may appear simple, but even so it works on all levels of the path and it is certainly not just for beginners.

It may not be immediately apparent, but to be totally in the moment, which is what meditation requires, means relinquishing the past, the future, and the dualism that makes a distinction between self and others. This is the essence of letting go.

(Inspired by Lama Surya Das: Letting go of the person you used to be)
