Places To Play On The Palm

In addition to being a golf nut, I’m also a Palm Pilot geek. (You can tell how long I’ve had one by the fact that I can’t stop calling it a “Palm Pilot”, instead of just “Palm”.)

I take my Palm everywhere with me—even on the course. I actually feel naked without it.

So when I found out that Golf Digest had put its entire Places To Play book done up as a Palm OS database, I was totally geeked out.

Here’s what they say:
