Everyone scores on their own phone, one card, updating as you go. • Not on Shanked? Text them an invite from the first tee and they're on the card by the second. • Share your card the moment you hole out. It arrives in WhatsApp and iMessage as a proper scorecard, not a bare link. • Sign up and reset your password with a 6-digit code. Quick, and no wrestling with email links. • New golfers get a "rounds to your first handicap" tracker, so the finish line is visible from day one. Sharper on the course • Your card keeps saving with no signal and syncs the moment you're back in range. • Live scores stay in step with your group, even when your phone's been in your pocket for a few holes. • Everyone in the fourball sees the same satellite hole map. • Scrambling stats, tidier course history, and sharper fairway and green tracking. • Your notifications mark themselves read when you open them.

This one's mostly about trust — signing up, saving your round, and knowing where the pin actually is. Signing up actually works now. Confirm your email with a tap or a 6-digit code — no more "invalid link" dead-ends. Same for resetting your password. Your round is safe. We rebuilt how scores save, so a dropped signal, a locked phone or a pocket-check can't lose your card or leave a ghost round hanging about. Better maps and yardages on course — sharper hole layouts and distance-to-pin, and your group finally sees the same green (looking at you, back nine). A tidier Clubhouse — Kudos, a course champion, and everyone's form at a glance. Smarter insights — shot dispersion, how you stack up vs the field, and strokes gained. We'll even suggest a drill for whatever's leaking shots. No lectures. Plus a stack of small fixes and fewer spinners. We read every message — even the spicy ones. ### ProV1.2 — 2026-07-09 • Shot spread: tap a club in My Bag to see your full dispersion, not just an average. • You vs the field: see how you played each hole against everyone who's logged the course. • A rebuilt Clubhouse — Spotlight, form-aware leaderboards, and a monthly Champion. • Fairer leaderboards (best-rounds Club Championship + Most Improved). • My Bag rebuilt with a Bag Rating and coaching cards. • "Plays like" elevation-adjusted distances (Pro). • Cleaner handicap maths, steadier back-nine GPS, faster loads, and plenty of fixes. Someone is still blaming the wind. ### ProV1.1 — 2026-07-02 New this update: • Aim anywhere on the hole. Drop a target on the map and drag it where you actually want to land it - we'll show the carry to your spot and what's left to the pin, each with a club. Doglegs finally make sense. • Distance rings. A faint range grid around the green, on tap. Off by default so the map stays clean. • Out on the Course, live. When your mates are round the same track at the same time, see how you all stack up in real time. • A fresh look. Bigger, bolder scores on the feed and scorecards, cleaner round cards, tidier achievements. • Mates' 9-holers and abandoned rounds now ping you too - not just full 18s. • Scorecard scanning is more reliable. Under the bonnet: • Fixed the odd bounce back to Home and screens closing on their own. • Scores save more reliably on patchy clubhouse-car-park signal. • Faster, smoother feed and a quicker return when you reopen the app. • Face ID / Touch ID sign-in fix, plus scoring fixes for Stableford and Skins.
