## What is ParPal Golf?

ParPal Golf is built on one idea: No Bad Decisions.
Most golf apps give you a number. ParPal helps you make the call—the right club, the right target, the smart play—and gets smarter every round you play.
——
FREE TO PLAY. SERIOUSLY FREE.
No paywall to get on the course. Your free account includes:
• GPS Course Maps — 40,000+ U.S. courses with hazards, doglegs, distance rings, and front/middle/back of every green
• Wind & Elevation — real-time conditions with automatic "plays-like" yardages
• Apple Watch App — GPS distances, plays-like yardages, scoring, and voice shot logging right on your wrist. Leave the phone in your bag.
• Games & Side Bets — Skins, 1v1 and 2v2 match play, and coaching challenges, all free
• Handicap Index — calculated for you, automatically, round after round
• Groups — play and track rounds with your friends
• Full Scoring & Round History — every hole, every round, all yours
That's a full-featured golf GPS—free.
——
GAMES: SETTLE IT ON THE COURSE
Start your round, add your group, tap "Play Side Game." That's it.
• Skins & Match Play — Skins with automatic carryovers, plus 1v1 and 2v2 (four-ball best ball) match play with live "2 up thru 5" standings, dormie, and closeouts.
• Handicaps Done Right — Net or gross, strokes allocated off the low man by scorecard stroke index. Green dots show exactly where each player gets a pop, before a single shot.
• Your Buddies Don't Need the App — One person keeps the whole group's card. Guests get a name and a handicap—no phone, no download required.
• Money, Tallied — Set a value per skin or a flat pot and ParPal tracks who owes whom. No awkward math on the 18th green.
No more first-tee arguments. The card keeps score, so you don't have to.

GO PRO: AN AI CADDIE THAT LEARNS YOUR GAME - FREE FOR 30 DAYS
Upgrade and ParPal becomes a caddie that actually knows you.
Tell it your plan before each shot—club, target, strategy. Tell it what happened after. Over time it learns which clubs you trust under pressure, how wind and elevation move your ball, and where your course management quietly costs you strokes.
AI Club Recommendations — the right club for this shot and your game, not the average golfer's.
Voice-Driven Shot Journal — speak between shots. ParPal transcribes and tags shot shape, contact, trajectory, and mental state automatically. No typing.
Intent vs. Outcome on Every Swing — see the gap between the shot you planned and the shot you hit. That gap is where strokes hide.
——
SMARTER THE MORE YOU PLAY
After 5 rounds, ParPal surfaces your patterns.
After 10, it knows your tendencies better than you do.
After a season, you have a decision record no other platform can replicate.
