Life is increasingly an augmented reality experience. Golf, less so. But a new smart phone app, called Golf Scope, is aiming to change that. The app launched on Monday.
Watch pros like world No. 2 Dustin Johnson and No. 5 Jordan Spieth reach the green, and you might see them pull out and study a little booklet before lining up and taking their best shot. Inside are maps of every green, with notes on the slope and speed of putting surfaces. A low-tech solution to an increasingly high-tech game where even putters might cost $500 and be carefully constructed from a selection of different materials.
