Random Golf Practice is the hidden secret to taking your golf game to the next level. Tour professionals like Jon Rahm use the app as part of their regular practice. Research shows that the best way to practice golf is to play random cycles of shots you will encounter on the course.  Our algorithms map out sequences of golf shots that mirror a course so you can get the most out of your time on the driving range. You will be guided to change the target after each shot just like the course. Most importantly, the different pictures of holes associated with the distances and drives will help make you visualize where to play the shot for the best score possible.   We employ three main modes 1. Random Golf Our flagship mode meant to give you the full RGP experience. High quality images are paired with the shots in the cycle and presented to the user one at a time. 2. Today’s Targets Enter the distances of the targets on the range that day and our app will only cycle you through the targets on the range, as well as a few drives. 3. Select Your Range Zone in on a specific range that is giving you trouble and our app will only cycle through shots within that range. It’s great for use when you have a launch monitor, although one is not needed.  The difference though is the visual target in the app will help you choose the best shot for that target yardage.   Additional features Rate your shot and Statistics After every shot you can give your self a rating 1-5. You can then check your progress and identify problem zones in your game in the statistics page. Journal Golfers have mental breakthroughs when practicing that they hope can carry over. Journal allows you to take down notes about your practice session and stay more organized. Every good golfer carries a notebook! Videos Shawn Cox, PGA and TPI Certified coach has videos on how to use the app to its full potential. Lessons and instructional videos by leading coaches and players will be consistently uploaded for our members to enjoy.  Create shot Standing on a tee box or fairway that is just magnificent?  It could be a hole you need to practice to improve your scoring. Take a photo and upload it to the app so it can be included when you practice!
