## What is Golf Scout?

Golf Scout is a golf GPS range finder, shot tracker and caddie for iPhone and Apple Watch. Get the yardage to the front, middle and back of the green. Mark each shot with one tap and your Bag fills in how far you really hit every club.

HOLE MAPS AND YARDAGES
Play hole by hole on a satellite map, tee at the bottom and green at the top. It moves to the hole you're on as you walk.
• Front, middle and back of the green
• Reach and carry for bunkers and water
• Tap anywhere for the number to that spot, like a layup or the corner of a dogleg
• Yards or meters

Courses worldwide come from OpenStreetMap. Not every course has hole maps yet, and coverage varies by country.

SHOT TRACKING
At your ball, tap Mark shot on iPhone, on Apple Watch, or from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without unlocking. The next mark shows where that shot finished, and putts come from the scorecard.

Review shots puts every shot on the hole map after the round. Add one you missed, move one, or set the club, lie and penalty.

SCORECARD AND STATS
Enter strokes, putts, fairway and penalties for each hole, and follow your scoring average, fairways, greens in regulation and putts. Rated rounds give you a handicap estimate, which isn't an official Handicap Index.

APPLE WATCH AND LOCK SCREEN
The Watch app has green and hazard distances, your score, Mark shot with the club and the next target from your hole plan. A Live Activity keeps hole and green distances on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a Mark shot button.

TOURNAMENT MODE
For competitions and handicap rounds. It turns off plays-like distances and club suggestions, which the Rules of Golf don't allow, and keeps GPS yardages, hazards and your own hole plans.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
Your rounds and shots stay on your devices and in your iCloud, which keeps them in sync.

GOLF SCOUT PRO
Pro is a subscription. It tells you what to hit and where you're losing shots.

Plays-like distances
Adjusted for wind, temperature and altitude, so into the wind, on a cold morning or up in the mountains you get the number the shot is really playing, and see what's changing it.

Club selection
Your caddie picks the club from your real distances, with the odds of finishing on the green, on the fairway or in trouble (bunker, water, trees), a safer line when there is one, and how the next clubs compare.

Shot patterns
Where each club's shots actually finish, drawn on the hole around your target, with your average miss and the spread.

Hole plans
Plan every hole before you tee off, with targets, clubs and notes. The plan shows on the map and on your Watch during the round.

Where your strokes go
Strokes gained off the tee, approach, around the green and putting, per round and for every shot, against scratch or golfers of your handicap, so a 15-handicapper is measured against other 15s. You'll also see drives in play, greens hit from each distance, up-and-downs, what's behind your doubles and what to practice.

Trends and strengths
In Insights, see each club's distance trend, how you stack up against golfers of your handicap, and anything else that stands out.

Unlimited shot logging
Log as many shots as you like outside a round, at the range for example. The free version logs 5 by hand, and marking shots during a round is free.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage them in your App Store account settings.
