Wolf Hammer Golf Game Welcome to the Wolf Hammer Game. The game handles many of the nuances of the Wolf Hammer Game with variable options during the setup and playing of the game. The game handles from 4 to 7 players. The game also allows you to optionally play a side game of swing or trash for selective players. Courses and Players The game enables you to enter and save the course or courses that you play on a regular basis. All you have to do is enter the name of the course and the par and handicap rating for each hole. When the game is played you will enter the slope rating for the tees that you are playing on that day and the course handicap for each player will be adjusted. The game also enables you to enter and save the players and their handicaps that plays with your group. If a player’s handicap index has changed then you can select that player and enter the new handicap index. If you have entered the GHIN number for the player's you can automatically update the player's handicap using the GHIN Update. This is now an in app purchase for $8.99 for 6 months. The Game You must enter the “Slope Rating” and "Course Handicap" for the tees that you are playing, enter the bet amount, starting hole, handicap percentage and select whether you wish to play carries. You chose the course that you are playing and select the players in the order that they will tee off. Playing the Game After the hole has been completed, you enter the team for each player and their score for the hole. After teams and scores you set the number of hammers for that hole and continue. The results from the hole will be displayed. You have the ability to go back hole by hole to correct a previous error. You also have the ability to change the starting bet for each hole. If you are playing trash, you will go to the Trash screen and select the trash for each player before you continue to the hole recap screen. If your version of "Wolf" allows you to modify the money distributed to each player the app allows you to change the hole total for each player on the hole recap screen. End of Game You have the option to review the player's score hole by hole before finalizing the results. The results of the game will be kept for a period of time. From the previous results screen you have the option of e-mailing the results (Scores with or without the Money) to an e-mail account like the pro shop for posting of the scores.

THE PROBLEM You practice and feel good, but you get to the course and the progress doesn't show up. Hitting the same shot over and over builds confidence in the moment, but it doesn’t prepare you for the course where every shot is different. THE SOLUTION Better Golf Practice structures your sessions into block and random practice based on motor learning research.  Block practice means repeating the same shot. It works well for warming up or reinforcing desired feelings. But skills learned exclusively this way don't transfer well. Random practice means varying the target each time. It feels harder, and your performance during practice appears worse, but it forces your brain to solve a new problem with each shot—exactly what the course demands. The research calls this the "contextual interference effect": variability during practice leads to better retention and performance. The app combines both. Block practice to calibrate, random practice to train and test yourself. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a module: full swing, wedges, putting, or green reading. 2. Select the time you have available. 3. Receive a guided practice routine with a handicap appropriate split between block and random practice. During random practice, you'll record your final set of shots (the "test" phase). The app measures execution errors (mishits) separately from decision errors (wrong club, misread break or speed), so you know what to work on. Track your patterns over time in the stats section to see the improvement. Four (4) free sessions per month. Unlimited with a subscription.
