## What is Golf Wind?

Golf Wind shows you the wind at the height your ball actually flies — not the wind on your face.

Every forecast blends the surface reading with the wind higher up, where a well-struck shot spends most of its time. That's usually stronger, and often from a different direction than what you feel standing over the ball.

TWO WAYS TO READ IT

Arrow view — a single glance shows the wind relative to where you're aiming, with speed and a plays-like distance ladder.

Map view — satellite imagery with wind arrows drifting across the hole, so you can see what's happening before you get there.

BUILT AROUND THE RULES OF GOLF

Wind from a forecast is permitted during a round. Plays-like distances are not. Tournament mode hides them and shows wind only, so the same app works for a casual four-ball and a card-and-pencil round.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO TRACKING, NO ADS

Golf Wind doesn't ask for your email, doesn't have a login, and doesn't track you between sessions. It reads your location to fetch the forecast and nothing else. Full detail in the privacy policy, linked below.

Free, with no in-app purchases.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-04

Added My Clubs: enter what each club in your bag actually carries, and see
how far it flies in the wind you have right now — shorter into a headwind,
longer downwind.

Like the plays-like ladder already in the app, this is hidden in tournament
mode. Only your own saved yardages show during a round — the same
information a paper yardage book carries, nothing the Rules don't allow.

Navigation moved to tabs at the bottom of the screen, so Map, My Clubs and
Settings are one tap away instead of buried behind an icon.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-23

No release notes.
