Just submitted the latest update to my golf app.  Version 1.0.4.

• Updated layout for main scorecard screen to list totals for Mulligans, GIRs, Fairways and Putts.
• Choosing a hole via the middle popup now lists current selected players scores along side the hole number/label.
• Choosing a player via the player popup now lists players and their current score total if there is enough room.

This morning I also just submitted a bug fix for the card management screen with version 1.0.1.  Hopefully you’ll see that out there before the weekend!  And I’m also working on some more bug fixes and will hopefully post later this weekend or early next week version 1.0.2.

Just checked on the precentral.net app feed browser and its showing up there!

It’s published… supposedly.  Just have to wait for it to propagate out to the actual catalog and be accessible.  Will hopefully post soon that it is available!  And I’ve already got a couple bug fixes to submit for it as well!

Here are some of the key features:

• No managing yet another user/contact list… just link to a user in your contacts!
• Doesn’t require any network access.  Can use airplane mode to reduce battery use.
• Easy to use.  Uses all the normal webOS UI conventions.
• No saving… its done automatically.
• No excessive menus and user interface… just open it and get right to the task at hand… keeping scores!

I just submitted my SimpleGolfScore Free app to the Palm webOS app catalog. I’ll update this post as soon as I have a web install link for it!

I’ve finally got almost all the basic score card functionality finished.  You can now manage all the cards in the database.  Delete them… Load an old one to edit and view… create/start a new card.

Along with that I also added a drop down panel when you tap the Score Card header to allow you to edit score card / round settings.  Such as the date of the round and a title / description so the various cards are more descriptive when listed.

The score card manager screen lists each score card by date, displaying the name or date of the match as the title.  It always will display the match date time as well as icons for each of the players that are in the card.  Hopefully this will make it easy to navigate a lot of score cards.  Eventually i’ll also make a drop down selector to only show cards for certain courses and so forth.  That will have to come after I get course data editing/displaying working.

I had some sort of mental block that was keeping me from getting this working.  But it is.  Now I can add golf players from the contacts list properly, add them to the list and have the integerPicker widget for each hole.  The score card will list an entire round that can be scrolled horizontally very easily and allow one to manage scores for any number of players.  If the list is longer than the screen it also scrolls vertically properly.  I still have to add some user management, to allow one to remove players as well.  Hopefully will have it maintaining scores before the end of the day and also able to save the data between application opening/closings.

I’ve been learning a lot about webOS programming and finally got it storing data and also did a test grabbing some gps points while out on the course last week.

Here are a couple more in-progress screen shots.

Well.. Finally palm released the software development kit for webOS and I’ve also finally had time to mess with it. Currently just working with some of the demo apps and code. Here is a quick screen capture from it.  I think this will move along quickly if I can keep dedicating a little time to it here and there.

I’ve got some more work done on my golf application for webOS and the pre. Here is a mockup of what the current state looks like on the pre. I’ve also uploaded a small screen capture video clip of it simulating gps movement after the break.
