  • Presenters Ego

    Very poor content, annoying format and seems to mainly be an exercise in stroking and amplifying the presenters egos. Painfully listens to a couple of episodes before accepting it really was just awful.

  • Wonderful podcast!

    Charlie is a brilliant host, who is able to get his subjects to talk about their process/career with ease. It’s a must-listen podcast if you are interested in the iOS development world or even just software launches more generally. You’ll be entertained and informed with every episode - great show, give it a go!

Q: What was the initial core of the idea when you started?
The core idea was to use satellite-style Apple Maps to visualize distances and arcs in front of a golfer, enabling measurement of width and room to hit shots, which would then be refined into a practical, data-driven approach to planning rounds.
