Golfshot is a golf GPS app whose free version gives the distance to the center of the green, with front, back and hazard distances in Pro. GolfCore is a golf GPS with free yardages, green maps, modeled wind and a free Shot Tracer on iPhone. Which fits depends on whether you want the full set of yardages without paying, and whether you want to trace your own swing videos.
If the yardages you use most are the front and back of the green and the carry over a bunker, GolfCore gives them free where Golfshot puts them in Pro. If you would pay for a plan anyway, Golfshot Pro costs $79.99 a year against GolfCore Premium's $100 in the US.
