I have been playing golf for a long time and my friends and I got into an idea a while back. The idea was to make a list based on the golf courses you have played. There are many golf courses around the world and it is probably impossible to play all of them unless you took lots of time out of your life and devoted it to this accomplishment. I think that an application to add friends as well as be able to located courses around you would be very cool. Currently me and my friends do this with a written list but having it kept on an account with everyone being able to see it would be very cool. I also think this would create a cool atmosphere with the golfing community where you could add people you meet and see all of the places they have played and maybe ask what they would recommend so you could go play it for yourself. For this design I think that it would need to be very simple looking because some of the golfing community is older and I would still want their involvement. I also think having a function with all of the courses in a certain search area would be helpful for seeing how far things are away as well as getting directions to the courses. I also think that there should be a ranking system maybe in stars or golf balls to keep it golf related and show the quality of the course. I think having easy to read fonts and simple visual colors and graphics will help with functionality. I think that the app would have 4 main pages and a visual home page when opening the app. The opening screen would be simple and have the name of the app. TBD. Next would be an actual homepage where you can see your own account and maybe some sort of your own list and most recent courses and rounds played. Next would be the map page where courses can be found and reviewed. This would most likely be titled course search or map. Next would be a profile page where you can make changed to your own profile and settings. This would also have the add friends section. Lastly would be a page where you would start your round and input the course you played as well as rating it and leaving comments about how u felt and the conditions were. It would have an easy function to add players if you are playing with friends so not everyone has to be using the app at a time. The add was also have some ads for the potential to make money as the host. Colors would be white, black, and green. The menu bar would most likely be at the bottom with the name and a small image to make it easier to understand.
