Shot Caddie Final Presentation and Demo

This Capstone project is called Shot Caddie and it consists of a mobile application and web application. The mobile application allows golfers to accurately record all of their shots during a round of golf. The basic idea is that upon starting a new round of golf, using the mobile app, users will pull up a course map for a particular golf course and as they play their round, they will mark their ball on the map after each shot. Ball marking is done via a simple button press that relies on the mobile phone’s location services. In-round, the app also provides club recommendations, that is based off of the user’s past play and it also offers periodic notifications to mark their ball so the user doesn’t forget. All round data is saved in the user’s profile and is used to update their handicap and show them how they’ve played over time. The mobile app offers a community hub for connecting and chatting with other golfers, an events feature for viewing national events, creating your own personal events, scheduling tee-times and getting live scores for current PGA tournaments, There is also an e-commerce feature for buying new golf equipment and a way to view some common statistics of your play.

The web application has similar statistics features, but unlike with the mobile app, it also allows users to input scores for rounds not played with the mobile app. Doing that will automatically update their handicap even if they didn’t use the mobile app for that round. Additionally, users search for local golf events and book tee times at various golf courses. Thus, the web application offers some additional capability but also flexibility in how users view their play.
