I see that PDGA app do allow me to create course locally with each hole info (feet and par) which is great, but once that info is entered and created, I cannot go back and edit that course at later date. Need the option to allow user to edit the course that was created via "Create Locally".

PDGA needs to improve the course database big time and need to link the tournament rounds results with course info in the database. I just realized that the tournament results/rounds with course info (i.e. tee and pin placement) along with SSA rating are completely separate from the PDGA course database. I think it would be great if PDGA can work with dgcoursereview.com to standardized the course database and have one official central location for course database. Nice to be able to click on a course and then see the latest tournament (and in future league) results for a given course. Then this app can use current SSA for a given course layout which is the most accurate for round ratings. That will give most benefit for the disc golf community, putting ego aside (if any?).

I just played with Easy Scorecard Pro and it is nice that I can create course via EasyScorecard.net's database, but Easy Scorecard Pro interface is not good, the fonts are too tiny. The features is real nice but interface-wise, they should learn from GolfCard Pro.

Again, GolfCard Pro is by far the best, interface-wise. PDGA developers: Please do take a serious look at GolfCard Pro, especially their interface. The best by far.

I want to be able to see the scorecard along with par and hole feet at glance anytime. I want to track fairway hits and # of putts.

Need to add # of feet for a given hole in main score entering screen and also in View Scorecard.

I still want to have option of what kind of round like Tournament, League, Practice that will be helpful for stats reporting.

Also good idea to add notes for each hole in course data locally (not the round data).

Looking forward for a good progress in that area. I have to use GolfCard Pro due to stats features (it allows me to create course locally and able to edit anytime) and hopefully in near future when PDGA app has all the needed features (such as stats and some other items I have mentioned) then I will be happy to dump GolfCard Pro!
