Yes, Wegolf’s ability to measure your strokes makes it much easier to find your ball.
It works as follows:
If you regularly measure your strokes, you’ll have a very good idea of how far you hit each club in your bag.
So let’s say, for example , that you’re using a Driver from the tee, and you hit the ball into the rough:
When you measure your strokes using Wegolf, the distance from you ball’s original position to your current position is displayed in the grey bar at the bottom of the cell phone’s screen. In the example below, I moved 45m away from the position where I hit my shot from…
As you walk, this display will tell you how far you are (In a straight line) from where you hit the ball. And you can use this information to narrow down your search for a lost ball. So if you know you hit your driver on average 230m, you can use the display to search in a smaller area for your ball.In a area where the display tells you +-230m.
I have found this very useful in finding a lost ball much faster.
