## What is Short Pencil?

Short Pencil is a simple golf score keeper for golfers who would rather not carry the technology. No GPS, no swing tracking, no ads and no account. It keeps score, and when the round is over it hands you a country-club scorecard written in pencil, signed at the scorer's table, and ready to keep.

THE CARD
• Every score pencilled by hand, with birdies circled and bogeys boxed, the way you'd mark a card on the course
• Your club's name, par, yardage and stroke index, printed like the card in the clubhouse
• Four card stocks (Clubhouse Green, Links Navy, Claret and Black Tie), four styles of handwriting, and a seal, crest or monogram for every club
• Sign it with your finger, and have a playing partner attest it

FINDING YOUR COURSE
• Search tens of thousands of courses by name, or find the ones near you
• Pick your tees and the card fills itself in: par and yardage for every hole, with course rating and slope
• If a course's card isn't in the directory, Short Pencil looks for it on the club's own website

ON THE COURSE
• Big, quiet buttons, one hole at a time, for up to four players
• Track your putts, fairways and penalty strokes if you like; greens in regulation are worked out for you
• Scoring works without signal, and every round is saved on your phone

AFTER THE ROUND
• Email the finished card from your own mail app, or turn on automatic emails and every card you sign is sent to you
• Save it or share it anywhere
• Every card kept in your round journal, with your stats and averages over time

MEMBERSHIP
Your first week is free. After that, a Short Pencil membership is $5.99 a month and lets you start new rounds. Every card you've kept stays yours either way: open, save and share your history whenever you like.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free week ends. The membership renews automatically each month unless it's cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-26

Your first round is now free. Find your course, keep score, then sign and keep the card, with no membership needed. The membership, with its free week, begins when you start your second round.

A club with several courses now asks which one you're playing.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-23

Turn your iPhone on its side while you look at a finished card, and it opens out like a club card: the front nine on one side, the back nine on the other. On iPhone Duo, the folded cover screen does it too. Everywhere else, Short Pencil stays upright, so nothing turns while you're keeping score.

Pinch a finished card to look closer, right where it lies, and double-tap to go in or back out. It takes the place of the magnifying glass.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-14
