Game over-punishes bad shots
The game is really fun overall. My only complaint is that the game recently introduced “club confidence”. I really like the idea overall, but it needs tweaking.
It works like this; you hit good shots, your “confidence” with that club improves, leading to longer distance and better control with said club. Hit the fairway off the teebox with your driver? You may get a 1-2 percent increase to club confidence. You miss the fairway, or worse land in a hazard? You’re looking at possibly a 10% decrease in confidence FOR ONE SHOT.
One hole was particularly tough, I lost 30%. This needs to be adjusted to not be heavily weighted towards punishing you for bad shots, while barely rewarding you for many good shots.

Great fun
I’ve been playing for a little over a month now, it’s been great watching the updates to the game happen in real time. Whether it was a bug that I reported getting fixed, or the new additions like the fans/crowds that are now starting to watch.
Its a super simple once a day game. If you forget to play one day, no worries you’ll just make up the hole the next time you’re around.

Love it! But!
Good game concept but I wish there’s was a way to play more? Maybe create a tour mode or charge a one time fee to play unlimited games.
Great way to golf everyday
This app is a ton of fun! I really like how a new hole is released daily - it’s a nice way to get some golfing in every day. The free tournaments with sponsored prizes is a great addition!
Greatest Game
I’ve had many achievements in life that have come from taking on opportunities that don’t come by too often. A few achievements to name are riding a bike, tying my shoes, getting my drivers permit (license to come soon), and selling pcp to the middle school kids in my neighborhood.
Another one of those achievements has been becoming a multi-major champion in DailyDrive. I’ve worked my tail off to get to where I am today. There have been a lot of long weeks, plenty of regretful shots, and most definitely 2-3 phone screens destroyed. But, all that has made me one of the most prolific golfers to ever play this game.
As nice as it is to hear a feel-good story, there is always disaster on the horizon. I slowly took a break from DailyDrive a few months back. I seemed to have lost myself and my purpose as I was racking up so many major titles. The idea of being at the top while everyone is trying to bring you down haunted me in my silk pajamas almost nightly. I couldn’t tell if it was age catching up to me or if it was the 7-8 beers I would have a day Thursday-Saturday. Either way, I needed help, and I needed it fast.
I’m grateful to say after being in the darkness for so long, I’m back on DailyDrive and I haven’t felt this great since I previously left. My game is, of course, a little rusty, but god damnit I can still hit that golf ball a mile. I’ve noticed there are some young pups on tour who are bringing some major game. I love the challenge and look forward to being back on top one day, adding another major championship to my already storied legacy.
If there is only one thing I can say about DailyDrive, is that it will always require you to be at your best. There is never a day that goes by where I don’t give it my all, and that goes for everything that I have accomplished in life. So, if you’re that person who slips on their shoes without tying them, untie those dirty, worn-out air forces, re-tie them, and install DailyDrive now!

A second chance at glory
When I was a boy, my dad would always make me practice golf. He wanted me to be the best. I lived the beautiful game of golf my entire childhood. I was well on my way to de-throne the GOAT, Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods. When I tore my pcl, mcl, and medial meniscus is a tragic inflatable slide incident, my golf career was derailed. I struggled deeply. I would yearn to be back on the course, nuking the ball 350 into the fairway, hitting pin high flops from the bunker, and sinking 40 foot putts. Just when I had hit rock bottom, my roommates showed me a new game. Daily Drive? More like “Saves Lives”. This is the greatest game I have ever played and it has truly brought me so much joy, the same joy golf brought me when I was a child. It allows me to feel like I’m back on the course doing what I love most, competing against my peers in the greatest game on earth. I would personally like to thank the creator of this game, as he is a true humanitarian.

More than a Game
When it comes to sports games on the app store, Dailydrive is second to none. Not only has the game been enjoyable, it has helped me find passion and purpose in life. I wake up every morning full of joy knowing there will be a new hole to play. Zack Joyce is the real deal, and I look forward to whatever this man does next. It's more than a game, it's more than a drive. Dailydrive is a way of life.

Generationally fun
I cannot wait to tell my great-grandkids about this game. An app that is fun for all ages. Inspiring friendly competition that keeps everyone engaged and in school. Truly a masterpiece.
Life altering
I used to never talk to my adopted brother cuz he was not cool. He happens to be on this app, and it has helped us rekindle our relationship. Friendly competition through the amazing head2head feature has brought us closer than I ever deemed to be possible. Couldn’t be happier with this game and it’s ability to create lifelong relationships. Great job Zack Joyce!
