HAPPY HOLIDAYS
With this being the last update of 2008, all of us at GolfTraxx would like to wish our users a sincere Happy Holidays. It has been a great 2008 and we are looking forward to the start of the new year, as well as the new golf season. Last week, the LPGA wished farewell (I say it is just 'we will see you later') to Annika Sorenstram. Her poise, professionalism and great ball striking will certainly be missed around the world of golf. This week, the men's tour is playing at the Chevron Wold Challenge at the Sherwood CC in Westlake Village (zip code 91361). Its is good that this wasn't played in Las Vegas, where it snowed almost four inches!

We noticed an interesting way that the iTunes shop gives ratings to applications in the Aps store. When users delete an application to upgrade it, a quick survey asks for users to rate the application being deleted.

Our best theory for the drop in our rating is that many of you didn't enter any rating, so our overall score dropped.
So, if you are enjoying GolfTraxx on an iPhone, and didn't yet take the opportunity to rate GolfTraxx, please stop on by to the iTunes shop and give us a rating or write a review.
Courses:
During the past couple of weeks, we added 68 new courses, with Texas once again leading the contributors in the US with 15 new courses. Both Arizona and Hawaii contributed seven each. Golfers certainly are flocking to the warmth of the lower latitudes. On the international front, we received courses from 9 countries which included new courses in The Bahamas, Jamaica and Fiji. Australia represented nearly 50% of the international courses with 8 of the 20..

A user sent us this picture of GolfTraxx on the 18th hole of their home course. Either this is the longest green on the planet, or there is a piece of errata on this hole. (If you picked option 2, you were correct.) If you notice something similar, PLEASE bring it to our attention. A picture is worth a thousand words, so if you have an iPhone you can use a screen capture function to save what you see. Simply hit the menu button (the one on the bottom of the face of the phone) AND the Power button (the one on the top of the phone) at the same time. Holding them for just about a second records the picture to your photos folder. Simply send us an email and let us know what course, it is from and the issue you noticed and we will research the problem.
