AccelGolf

Welcome to AccelGolf, the new face of mCaddie. Changing a company name is a big decision, and one that we didn't take lightly.

Endless thanks to the hundreds of users that have helped us beta test the the iPhone and BlackBerry applications. Expect to see them soon in the iPhone App Store and the BlackBerry App World.

Best,
The AccelGolf Team

mCaddie attended Web Innovators in Boston tuesday night. We had a great time, met some fantastic people, and were interviewed briefly by the Bostonist. They just posted a video featuring some of the companies demonstrating at the event, and our own Will Sulinski got a chance to tell a little bit more about what we do and where we are going.

As shocking as it may be, there are some members on the mCaddie team who do not golf. We know, it's a crime, and they have promised to take up lessons this summer. Hitting the green for the first time can be a scary thing, but it looks like there is at least one golfer out there who isn't intimidated.

Unni Haskell, a 62-year-old native of Norway who moved to St. Petersburg last year from Stamford, Conn., took two months of golf lessons and decided she was ready to hit the course. She stuck her tee in the ground, teed up a Top Flite range ball and took aim on the 100-yard first hole at Cypress Links, a nine-hole, par-3 course in St. Petersburg. Haskell swung as hard as she could with her purple Wilson ProStaff 12 degree driver. The shot went about 75 yards, avoided the bunker on the left, bounced onto the green and rolled in the hole. First hole of her life. First swing on a course. Hole-in-one. "I didn't know it was that big of a deal,'' she said. "I thought all golfers do this.'' Ugh.
