Site Updates - 4 hours agoScore Entering And My Courses ImprovementsNow that we have the major task of adding " Equipment" to oobgolf in the rear view we are now taking care of a lot of the suggestions given to us by our users. Learn about the improvements after the jump. 0 comments more... Site Updates - 4/30/08Equipment Now Tied To Rounds/StatsThe equipment you use can now be tracked with each score you enter into oobgolf. If you have not yet created a "bag" of your gear this would be a good time to do it. 5 comments more... Site Updates - 4/24/08Detailed Handicap CalculationWonder how we ever come up with those handicap numbers? Enough people have asked that we thought it made sense to show the ugly details. 6 comments more... Site Updates - 4/24/08Equipment Is Liveoobgolf is proud to announce "equipment" to our site. We really need your help to make this work well, but what this allows you to do is add equipment to "my bag" and then have that equipment tied into your scores. Learn more after the jump.

Site Updates - 3/12/08oobgolf DOES Have ForumsWe don't do a great job linking our forums and featuring them on the site much because... quite frankly they don't look as good as the rest of the site. That said- they are as good as anyone else's forums and they are starting to pick up a bit so I thought I'd mention it. ( Forums)( GreatPost) 3 comments more... Site Updates - 2/26/08Course Finder Update & Desktop BackgroundsOur Course Finder is now in navigation on the site and we've made some upgrades and improvements to it. Check out that. Also- while staring at it for so long- we came up with another idea and created some cool images to use as desktop backgrounds. You can check them out and download them if you want after the jump. 4 comments more... Site Updates - 2/21/08We're Real People!We want to hear your ideas for the site as well as provide support if you need some help. Hit us up on AOL's Instant Messenger. oobgolfandrew and oobgolfkevin 1 comments more... Site Updates - 1/4/08New Charts- Please Give FeedbackWe've been working on new charts to better track your stats. We have put the first version of our work live on the site for you to check out, because we want your feedback. Please leave comments with ideas on how to help. To find the new chart- go to your "My Game" page and click "Development" on the left side under Reports. 14 comments more... Site Updates - 11/27/07oobgolf To Partner With ESPN RadioA couple weeks back we did an interview with ESPN Radio 840 out of Charlottesville, Virginia. We've continued talking with the guys over at the show and we will now be working with them to bring The Front Nine to you on oobgolf.com each Saturday morning from 8:30am to 10:00am EST. More after the jump. 1 comments more... Site Updates - 11/12/07Groups UpdatedWe've updated our Groups pages and fixed a couple bugs that made it difficult to get the most out of the feature. If you are new to the site or even tried groups in the past but couldn't get everything you wanted out of them, check them out again. A full description after the jump. 1 comments more... Site Updates - 11/3/07Facebook IntegrationSome new improvements to authentication and profile editing as well as a new oobgolf Facebook application.

Site Updates - 10/9/07Embed Your Stats Into Your Own Page or Blog!Did you know you have the ability to embed your oobgolf stats on your own personal blog or MySpace page? The process is as easy as "copy" and "paste" from oobgolf to the location of your choice. You can find the code on your "My Game" page on the left hand collumn under "Share" (the very last link). From there all you do is copy and paste that code into your blog or myspace page. 0 comments more... Site Updates - 10/4/07How Many Miles Have You Played?We added a small feature to your "My Game" page. Based on the total yardages of the courses you've entered into oobgolf you can now see how many miles of golf you've played. Of course- that's measured in a straight line- so for golfers like me it's a lot uglier than that number suggests. You can find the stat on your "My Game" page above your charts. 11 comments more... Site Updates - 9/19/07Invite A Friend Todayoobgolf is MUCH more fun with friends. Invite a couple people to join today. Just check out this page and enter a couple email addresses. Once your friends join- add them to your friends list and start sharing your game and scores together. 0 comments more... Site Updates - 9/10/07Groups, Groups, Groupsoobgolf.com now offers "Groups" as an additional way to track your game with family, friends and friends-to-be. Creating and/or joining a group gives you the ability to have a private leaderboard and stat tracking for you to compete on. You can join multiple groups and see how you compare! Find the groups page here and click after the jump for more info. 0 comments more...

Site Updates - 7/9/07Broadband Course Finderoobgolf is proud to announce (and show off) our official launch of our oobgolf Course Finder ( Link). We mentioned the Course Finder on the site about a month ago- but we have worked through some of the bugs of our first release and we now have a feature that rivals any golf course search method available. 0 comments more... Site Updates - 6/8/07Equipment AddedAn equipment tab was added to oobgolf this week. We decided to just slip it in there and let you find it. We have partnered with a 3rd party to provide deals on anything from clubs to shoes to balls. When you buy through oob, you will get discounts and we will get (a little) money! It's a win-win. ( BuyGear) 3 comments more... Site Updates - 5/30/07oobgolf Course FinderIt's been awhile since we've had a good site update- but this is worth it. Check out our new Beta oobgolf Course Finder. We still have more improvements to come- but it is already VERY fun to play with, and very functional for finding a course to play or to just stare at the sweet Mapquest satellite images. ( CourseFinder) 2 comments more...

This ensures that our course database is as up-to-date as possible. This is more and more important as we continue to grow. 0 comments more... Site Updates - 5/3/07oobgolf Has Awesome Users!A couple weeks ago- I told you how you could get a free oobgolf hat by being part of the oobgolf Street Team. We had a couple users send us some pics. Check them out after the jump. 3 comments more... Site Updates - 4/9/07oobgolf Street TeamWe need your help to market oobgolf.

Site Updates - 4/3/07oob Gets A Little FaceliftAs you've noticed (or didn't if you're new, btw- Welcome!) we got a little facelift to our homepage today.

Site Updates - 3/26/07Live Scoring on Mobile PhoneI'm sure many of us have watched pro's scores update on Thursdays and Fridays while at work. How cool would it be to watch your friends play a round while you're stuck in the old cubicle? oobgolf is the only site I know of that lets you do that. When a round is being entered on mobile.oobgolf.com, a screen pops up on the home page that lets everyone watch. 2 comments more... Site Updates - 3/24/07Want to Play Free Golf?We are looking for a few good writers, across the country to help us with our expansion of course reviews. The idea is simple. Armed with an oobgolf hat and polo, you play a course, then write it up for the site. If this sounds appealing, just shoot me an email at andrew@oobgolf.com I will ask for a writing sample (a review of your home or recently played course) and the oobgolf staff will decide from there. 1 comments more... Site Updates - 3/20/07Check Out Our New ScorecardsIf you are a regular oobgolfer, by now you've noticed our new scorecards on the course pages. We're now ready to tell the world about them- and you can help us. The scorecards not only look good- but give you the ability to see your course handicap, print the card for stat keeping purposes and link directly to the score entering feature from the course pages. They can also be copied and pasted into your own webpage or blog. 0 comments more... Site Updates - 3/6/07Golf Ecards!oobgolf and DivotsCards have partnered to bring you golf ecards.

Site Updates - 3/5/07Get Your oobgolf Gear.We've been getting emails and phone calls and privite messages- all with the same question: Where can we get an oobgolf hat and polo shirt? Well- Let me show you. We have a store front set up, being hosted by another company. It works good for our current situation. I encourage you to buy and wear it proudly.
