## What is PracticeBud?

PracticeBud turns golf practice into something you can see, repeat, and improve on — instead of just beating balls on the range.

Built for serious golfers and the coaches who work with them, PracticeBud gives every drill and test a real structure: log results shot by shot, build a history of what you've worked on, and track whether you're actually getting better.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
- Run structured drills and tests for every part of your game
- Log results shot by shot — not just "done / not done"
- Build a practice history you can look back on
- Keep a practice journal to capture what worked and what didn't
- Set weekly practice goals and keep your streak alive
- Build your own drills and tests — set distances, scoring, and targets to match how you practice

SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY IMPROVING
- Strokes gained on supported putting drills, measured against tour benchmarks
- Results broken down by distance, so you know which putts are costing you
- Score trends across every time you've run a drill
- Compare today's session against your own history, not a generic average

PRACTICE WITH PEOPLE WHO PUSH YOU
- Add friends and follow what they're working on
- Compare results on the drills you both practice
- Challenge a friend on a drill and settle it with real numbers

BUILT FOR PLAYERS AND COACHES TOGETHER
- Share your practice with your coach for review
- Coaches see your drill and test history in one place
- Work with more than one coach around the same practice record

FOR ACADEMIES AND TEAMS
- A shared layer for academies, schools and college programs to support players and coaches in one place

PracticeBud is practice-first by design — a dedicated home for the work that happens off the course. The rounds you play are the result of the practice you put in.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-22

A big update for your practice.

For players
• Training diary: track your practice hours, areas of focus and notes day by day. The Journal is now the Training diary.
• Challenge a friend to see who's best, straight from Home.
• Wedge Distance Control: a new way to practice and test your wedge distances, including head-to-head challenges with friends and teams.
• Team challenges have improved leaderboards and a better challenge experience.

For coaches
• Follow a player's training diary: their week, each day's hours and entries, and their recent drills performance – all in one place.
• Set a team challenge to repeat weekly. 
• A player's drill results now show shots grouped by station with make rates, and tour-benchmark context on selected putting drills.

Plus
• Notifications now take you directly to the relevant screen when you tap them.
• Editing shots from the post-drill review now works for every drill.
• Crash fixes, better team and friend experiences, and a number of smaller improvements throughout the app.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-01

New

• Teams can now have more than one coach
• Choose who a drill is available to — players: your team, your friends, or
  anyone. Coaches: your teams, everyone you coach, or anyone
• New drills are private by default (your coaches can still see them)


Fixed

• Coach home shows every player you're connected to, not only those on the
  selected team
• Opening a player you're not connected to now explains why, instead of
  showing an error

### 1.0 — 2026-07-29
