Site Updates
 Mobile oob Costs You don't need to have a data plan to use Mobile oobgolf. I break down "normal" cell phone costs after the jump. 5 comments more... Driving Distance Stat Added You can now keep driving distance stats on oobgolf.com. 3 comments more... Putts After GIR Added We added a new stat to check out (and in my case be depressed about)- The number of putts after a Green In Regulation. 25 comments more... Get Your oobgolf Gear. We've been getting emails and privite messages- all with the same question: Where can we get an oobgolf hat and polo shirt? 0 comments more... Live Scoring Is Now More Awesome Live Mobile Scoring has been upgraded to include some great new features- including Live Smack Talk. 10 comments more... oob's New Look What do you think? Navigation is hopefully easier as well with a new bar when you're logged in. You should be able to find things a bit easier- and hopefully it looks sexier too! As always comments welcome. 17 comments more... Help Us Name Our New Chart ... and by the way, we have an AMAZING new chart. On your "my game" page on the left hand navigation bar there is a new link under "Reports" called "New Report." It lets you view hole by hole stats for courses you play. After seeing that- please leave a comment with a name for this report. The one we pick wins a golf glove, oobgolf hat and golf shirt. (MyChart) 49 comments more... A Few Score Entering Updates You can now choose between a fairway hit, missed left, missed right. Sand shots have changed from a check mark to a number of sand shots per hole- helping people like me. We are also displaying penalties and sand shots on the post round scorecards. More to come soon... and I mean it's going to be SWEET. 12 comments more... More Small Changes (Including Scrambles) We've added a few more small changes to the site including the ability to choose the kind of round you are playing (tournament, standard, practice, or scramble) to let you track scores that won't affect your handicap. 3 comments more... Score Entering And My Courses Improvements Now that we have the major task of adding "Equipment" to oobgolf in the rear view we are now taking care of a lot of the suggestions given to us by our users. Learn about the improvements after the jump. 11 comments more... Equipment Now Tied To Rounds/Stats The equipment you use can now be tracked with each score you enter into oobgolf. If you have not yet created a "bag" of your gear this would be a good time to do it. 5 comments more... Detailed Handicap Calculation Wonder how we ever come up with those handicap numbers? Enough people have asked that we thought it made sense to show the ugly details. 6 comments more... Equipment Is Live oobgolf is proud to announce "equipment" to our site. We really need your help to make this work well, but what this allows you to do is add equipment to "my bag" and then have that equipment tied into your scores. Learn more after the jump. (OrCheckItOut) 5 comments more... oobgolf DOES Have Forums We don't do a great job linking our forums and featuring them on the site much because... quite frankly they don't look as good as the rest of the site. That said- they are as good as anyone else's forums and they are starting to pick up a bit so I thought I'd mention it. (Forums)(GreatPost) 3 comments more... Course Finder Update & Desktop Backgrounds Our Course Finder is now in navigation on the site and we've made some upgrades and improvements to it. Check out that. Also- while staring at it for so long- we came up with another idea and created some cool images to use as desktop backgrounds. You can check them out and download them if you want after the jump. 4 comments more... We're Real People! We want to hear your ideas for the site as well as provide support if you need some help. Hit us up on AOL's Instant Messenger. oobgolfandrew and oobgolfkevin 1 comments more... New Charts- Please Give Feedback We've been working on new charts to better track your stats. We have put the first version of our work live on the site for you to check out, because we want your feedback. Please leave comments with ideas on how to help. To find the new chart- go to your "My Game" page and click "Development" on the left side under Reports. 15 comments more... oobgolf To Partner With ESPN Radio A couple weeks back we did an interview with ESPN Radio 840 out of Charlottesville, Virginia. We've continued talking with the guys over at the show and we will now be working with them to bring The Front Nine to you on oobgolf.com each Saturday morning from 8:30am to 10:00am EST. More after the jump. 1 comments more... Groups Updated We've updated our Groups pages and fixed a couple bugs that made it difficult to get the most out of the feature. If you are new to the site or even tried groups in the past but couldn't get everything you wanted out of them, check them out again. A full description after the jump. 1 comments more... Facebook Integration Some new improvements to authentication and profile editing as well as a new oobgolf Facebook application. Now your scores posted in oobgolf can flow into your Facebook profile automatically. More after the jump. 4 comments more... Safari Support We admit that this has taken WAY to long. But we now fully support the Safari browser on both Mac and Windows operating systems. 1 comments more... Embed Your Stats Into Your Own Page or Blog! Did you know you have the ability to embed your oobgolf stats on your own personal blog or MySpace page? The process is as easy as "copy" and "paste" from oobgolf to the location of your choice. You can find the code on your "My Game" page on the left hand collumn under "Share" (the very last link). From there all you do is copy and paste that code into your blog or myspace page. 1 comments more... How Many Miles Have You Played? We added a small feature to your "My Game" page. Based on the total yardages of the courses you've entered into oobgolf you can now see how many miles of golf you've played. Of course- that's measured in a straight line- so for golfers like me it's a lot uglier than that number suggests. You can find the stat on your "My Game" page above your charts. 11 comments more... Invite A Friend Today oobgolf is MUCH more fun with friends. Invite a couple people to join today. Just check out this page and enter a couple email addresses. 0 comments more... Groups, Groups, Groups oobgolf.com now offers "Groups" as an additional way to track your game with family, friends and friends-to-be. Creating and/or joining a group gives you the ability to have a private leaderboard and stat tracking for you to compete on. You can join multiple groups and see how you compare! Find the groups page here and click after the jump for more info. 0 comments more... |
