I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of our new golf application, Myardage.

What is Myardage?

To put it simply, Myardage is a professional tool for golfers who wish to know how the altitude and weather will affect their carry distances. You enter in how far your golf clubs currently go under a known set of conditions, and then Myardage can calculate your new distances for the current conditions (updated automatically on supported devices) or any conditions you wish to enter in manually (for example, if you wanted to know how far your 9 iron would go at the top of Mount Everest, you could easily figure that out).

How does it work?

Myardage contains a new and unique mathematical engine for calculating golf club distances based on 6 long years of painstaking research and development. This engine is capable of automatically analyzing your golf shots based on your carry distance, the conditions that existed when you shot that distance, and a set of club and launch parameters (defaults are included for all common clubs). By leveraging this proprietary technology, we are able to reverse engineer a set of variables that exist right at the moment the golf club impacts the ball, then calculate how far that shot will go given an entirely different set of environmental conditions.

Why do I need this?

Two reasons:

1) Changes in local weather can affect the distances your golf shots will travel from one day to the next (or even on an hourly basis if your home city is prone to violent weather changes with little or no notice)

2) You're traveling to a completely different city at a totally different altitude, and you want to know exactly how far your clubs are going to go

Up until now, there has been no definitive way to calculate how the altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity will all affect the carry distance of your golf ball. Myardage completely eliminates all the guesswork associated with determining how the weather will change your golf shots by calculating this information for you. Devices like a laser rangefinder or a golf oriented GPS watch will tell you exactly how far you've got to get to the hole, but they won't tell you how far your golf ball is going to fly given the current conditions.

Features:
• An ultra high precision calculation core that delivers the most precise results possible
• Easy to read, no-nonsense distance display so you always know how far you're going to hit the ball
• 10 different user selectable colors to choose from to organize your bag
• A variety of default club settings to choose from if you're not sure of your own
• Custom club support for those not covered by the included defaults
• Changeable units for temperature, altitude, barometric pressure, and club distances
• Automatic weather and elevation updating on supported devices

Myardage is 100% ad free and contains no in-app purchases. We believe this application is a serious tool and the quality of the information it provides is worth the one time investment (just like any other tool you'd buy from your local golf shop). As such, this application will never contain any kind of advertising or unlockable features. What you're buying is exactly what you get.
