The PGA Tour app is now available exclusively for the Nokia Lumia line of Windows Phones. The PGA Tour app is a twelve month exclusive for the Lumia line and brings all the goodness of the PGA Tour to your Windows Phone.

Key features include:

Scorecards for every player
Play-by-play from each hole
Player performance statistics
Video highlights
FedEx Cup Standings
News from the Tour
Live leaderboard for each Tour event.

The PGA Tour app will also provide live video from select events including The Barclays (August 23-26), the Deutsche Bank Championship (August 31-September 3), the BMW Championship (September 6-9), and the Tour Championship (September 20-23).

In just skimming the surface on the PGA Tour app, it's a very nicely laid out app and provides a ton of information from the world of golf. We may have missed the Masters and the U.S. Open but the app will come in handy staying up with the Open Championship, the PGA Championship and the rest of the season.

The PGA Tour app is available from your Lumia Windows Phone under the Nokia Collection in the Marketplace app. Or you can follow this link (or the QR code below) from your Lumia Windows Phone.

Thanks, Ant, for the tip!

Tip: QR Coder makes sharing web sites between phones easypeasy

How To

Here's a funny problem we all have with smartphones regardless of OS choice: how to quickly share websites and inks between phones.

Sure, you can email, text or type out the address but it's a waste of email on both ends and if it's a long sub-link for an article, typing it out is a pain This problem also bothered Faisal Iqbal so he decided to do something about it and thus QR Coder was born.

Faisal created a Java Script that you save as a favorite on your Windows Phone. While on the web page you want to share, you simply go to the favorites and select QR Coder. That Java Script will then dynamically generate a QR code based on the site you're viewing and display as an overlay on the screen. Your fellow pal can use their Android, iPhone, Symbian or Windows Phone to scan it and they now instantly have the link on their phone.

Brilliant.

It's actually really easy to setup too, literally 30 seconds. Go to Faisal's site and watch his video on how to get it going on your phone. Feel free to share it with your non-Windows Phone users for maximum convenience.
