GolfLogix Creates Free Online Golf Community; Thousands of Golfers Joining Daily

Aug. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Long recognized as the world leader in golf GPS, GolfLogix has launched a FREE online community at www.golflogix.com  where all golfers can connect with other golfers, compare stats and scores, and even compete in challenges with players from around the globe.  Since introducing its Smartphone golf application last year, GolfLogix has emerged as the front runner in the mobile golf GPS arena.  Now with the new community, golfers can actively socialize with friends, neighbors and others, compare scores, participate on the leader board, track equipment performance, create individual challenges and search for local golfers, tournaments and courses.  “Our goal is to bring the camaraderie and feel of a world-class clubhouse online plus share all the information that a golfer would need to play a course anywhere in the world,” stated Pete Charleston, president of GolfLogix, Inc. “We built this site so golfers could really exchange ideas, compete with others, and just enjoy the game of golf year round.”

Membership to the GolfLogix Clubhouse is free.  Subscribers to the GolfLogix Smartphone application enjoy the convenience of having their scores and statistics automatically synched to their personalized pages. GolfLogix currently has hundreds of thousands of active subscribers that have already started to use the new online community.  Even golfers without the GolfLogix Smartphone app can join for free and printout expanded scorecards from the site and enter their information after their rounds.  All GolfLogix Clubhouse members are able to:
