🗺️ Course & Rounds
Live GPS caddie from your carries, plans on the map, rounds that feed back.
What it does
Course & Rounds is the on-course layer (free while in beta). Find a course — near you or by name — and start a live round: the caddie shows your position, the hole, your club's landing ellipse, and picks the club from your real bag; tap the club you hit and score as you go. Prep a round plans each hole shot by shot from home and shows the plan when you play it. Upload a round reads a photo of your scorecard or app screenshot and checks it against the card's own totals.
When to use it
Before a round to plan, during it to club, after it to log.
How to use it
- Find a course (allow location, or search by name). Courses are mapped by the community — tell us what feels off.
- Play a live round: pick tees, walk to the tee, read the caddie's pick, tap the club you hit, enter the score per hole.
- Prep a round: choose the course, drag targets on each hole to set the plan, keep it — it is pinned on Home until you play it.
- Upload a round: photograph the scorecard; check the per-hole read before saving.
What you'll see
- The caddie bag — which clubs it plays from and whose numbers; editable from the caddie itself.
- Round history — every round, the score, and how it moved your stats.
Tips
- A round in progress stays pinned at the top of Home with the bottom bar still available, so you can check anything mid-round and come straight back.
