"I admit I was skeptical, but ParPoints is a blast!" – Alan Shipnuck / Fire Pit Collective Join the new golf scoring revolution, where you choose the position on each hole you think you can score par from and score points when you shoot par or better. There are no penalties for bogeys or worse, so you can enjoy more of the shots that keep you coming back to the course—and less of the shots that make you want to throw your clubs in the river. "ParPoints is one of the most exciting golf ideas to come along in a long time." – Randy Syring / PGA Pro Set personal records, earn bag tags for special accomplishments, and compete against your friends with live group scoring. With access to over 38,000 courses around the world, load up ParPoints and head to your favorite course today, and play with anyone on any other course in real time, with a shared leaderboard. "I live in California, and I had to come all the way to the middle of Kansas to discover the most exciting thing going on in golf." – Chuck Mowrey / California golf enthusiast Looking to improve your game? Shoot par consistently from a certain distance before you move back, and watch your skills grow with your distance. This is a great approach for youth golfers, endorsed by PGA pros across the country. You can even keep score for kids without them needing an account. Setting up a tournament? Make it a ParPoints tournament to liven up the scoring and get a quick solution for a live, real-time leaderboard in everyone’s pockets. Have a regular game at your home course?

SG Tracker turns your round into real, actionable data—using the same Strokes Gained method as the pros, built for players who want honest numbers about their game. Enter each shot in seconds as you play, and get the full picture the moment you step off the 18th green: discover exactly where you are gaining strokes, where you are losing them, and which part of your game to practice next. HOW IT WORKS Every shot you log is compared against baseline expected-strokes data across five key categories: Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green, Recovery, and Putting. That comparison is Strokes Gained—a metric that reveals not just what you scored, but how every shot actually performed. BUILT FOR THE COURSE - Fast, Minimal Entry: Designed for quick taps between shots so it never slows down your play. - 100% Offline: No Wi-Fi or cellular signal required—works anywhere on the course. - Automatic Tap-In Detection: Putts inside 2 feet are recognized automatically, saving unnecessary taps. - Bunker & Holed-Out Tracking: Simple one-tap flags for bunker lies and holed-out shots—checking "Holed Out" skips putting entry entirely. - Putting Detail: Log putts with optional slope and break entries for deeper green-reading insights. - Hole & Round Notes: Jot quick notes on any hole or the whole round—pin position, conditions, swing thoughts—for context later. DEEP POST-ROUND ANALYSIS - Category Breakdown: See total Strokes Gained broken down by Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green, Recovery, and Putting. - Trend Tracking: Monitor performance over any date range to verify if your practice is paying off. - Hole-Type Performance: View Par 3, 4, and 5 stats separately to identify your most costly hole layouts. - Approach Precision: Review pin proximity and landing position breakdowns on approach and par-3 tee shots. - Easy Sharing: Share round summaries with your coach or friends in a single tap. YOUR DATA, YOUR PRIVACY SG Tracker works completely offline with no account required. Create an optional free account only if you want to sync your rounds seamlessly across your devices. No ads. No clutter. Just clear answers on where your game stands.
