Golfing Tips

4 Ways to Use your Phone on the Golf Course

by Krista A. March 28, 2019

We’ve had a pretty wet winter (by Southern California standards), but that hasn’t stopped us from thinking about clear blue skies and golf season. The 2019 Masters Tournament is coming up in two weeks, and we’re gearing up for golf season by sharing our favorite ways to use your magnetic Rokform case on the course. For the full list of ways to use your phone as a golf tool, check out our new Golf page.

1. Access your favorite golf apps

A couple of month ago we wrote about some helpful phone apps to improve your golf game, and this is still one of the best ways to use your phone on the golf course. There are so many apps out there to help you with different aspects of your game that this could really be split into a few different sections. Whether you need a quick reference guide on the official golf rules or want to improve your game by analyzing your swing, there’s an app for that! There are also cool apps to help you keep score or analyze the course, with tips and suggestions based on location.

2. Keep up with live sports

Staying on top of live games isn’t an issue when you can mount your smartphone to the golf cart. Since Rokform’s built-in magnets let you mount your phone in portrait or landscape view, it’s easy to watch live sports or keep up with scores at a view that suits you.

The neodymium magnet is super strong, but if you’re playing on a rough course (or tend to veer off the cart path), you can add an extra layer of magnet security with the RokLock plug. It quickly installs into the RokLock insert and adds a second magnet for an additional hold.

3. Free the cup holder!

How many times while golfing have you placed your phone in the cupholder, only to later realize that you need your cupholder to…store your drink? Free the cupholder and never have this issue again! Thanks to the built-in magnet, you can keep your smartphone securely mounted to the cart post, instantly freeing up your cupholder to do what it was made to do.

4. Stay connected to work

It kind of pains us to write this one because no one really wants to work while golfing, right? When your phone is Rokform-protected, it’s generally resting nearby so you can connect to the office at a moment’s notice. Some trips to the golf course can be work-related, so maybe it’s not so bad after all.
