Thanks for mentioning our new Golf by ZAGAT iPhone application. We have screenshots on our flickr page if anyone is interested in seeing what it looks like and how it functions.
As always, great information. Having lived in Nevada for three years, I can imagine how beautiful those courses in the northern part of the state. I’d think they’d be an absolute joy to play. Thanks again for the update on the latest in golf supplements/ Great stuff…
