The former president of Business Consulting Incorporated in Indiana, Thomas Stoughton has extensive experience as a technology, education, and business-management consultant. When he finds time for recreation, Thomas Stoughton enjoys golfing at top Indiana golf courses.

Other than fitting in more time at the driving range, one of the best ways to improve your golf game is by using GPS technologies to your advantage on the course. A GPS app can help you analyze the layout and set up your shots. For instance, knowing the topography of the course can help you make more accurate club selections and choose optimal targets for your ball as you advance toward the hole.

Google Earth Pro has a particular feature that allows you to measure distances between holes using satellite images. You can search for a golf course through the app and zoom in on key holes using the ruler functions to measure the distance between various points on the golf course.
