BirdieTraining – Your personal golf coach in your pocket Recommended by the PGA of Germany BirdieTraining is to golf what a serious training app is to fitness: a structured, goal-driven system that turns practice into clear plans, measurable progress, and better scores. Combine hundreds of premium exercises, skill games, Strokes Gained and round analysis, GPS course maps with shot planning, live scoring for rounds and group play, live and online coaching, and progress you can see—so every session has a point. Whether you are working toward a lower handicap, breaking a scoring barrier, or just want more fun and focus when you practice, BirdieTraining supports how you actually improve: plan → train → play → track → adjust. Personalized training Your game is not generic—your plan should not be either. Build structured training around your goals, follow assigned plans from your coach when connected, and keep practice and progress in one place. Training that stays engaging Games and challenges build tempo, touch, distance control, consistency, and performance under pressure—so development feels like play, not a chore. Live scoring Follow and enter live scoring for your rounds and group events so everyone stays in sync with up-to-date scores and course play. Course GPS, Strokes Gained, and strategy Use course GPS to preview and play with the full course on the map, work in Strokes Gained mode, save your round work, and use shot strategy tools to plan targets and notes for real golf. Live & online coaching Book live 1:1 video sessions with your coach—or send swing videos for online analysis and feedback when async fits your schedule. Coaches can set lesson packages, availability, and vouchers in the app. Groups and coaching Train with friends, teammates, or your academy. Share progress, run group challenges, and when you work with a coach, benefit from plans, feedback, video review, and messaging in one app. Apple Watch Log training from your wrist and keep your sessions flowing without fumbling for your phone. For every golfer—and coaches too From beginners to serious players, the app scales with you. Coaches get tools to organize students, assign work, review swing videos, run live lessons, sell online and live products, and follow progress—all in one place. Why BirdieTraining works Lasting improvement comes from consistent, structured practice tied to what you are trying to fix. BirdieTraining helps you see what to work on, how to work on it, and whether you are moving the needle—so practice and play connect to the same story.
