Trusted by players on PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LPGA, and college teams worldwide. 4.8 stars from thousands of golfers. YOUR SHOT PATTERN ON EVERY HOLE Most golf GPS apps stop at giving you a number to the green. Shot Pattern goes further. It takes your actual shot data and shows you where your ball is likely to land based on your club and target selection. See your tee shot arc and approach shot circle overlaid right on the satellite image of the hole you’re standing on. Take the guesswork out of where to aim. STROKES GAINED PREDICTOR Compare different club and target combinations to see the expected strokes gained outcome for each option. Should you hit driver or lay up with an iron? How aggressive should you aim at a tucked pin? The Predictor runs the math using your personal dispersion so you can make confident decisions instead of guessing. SHOT TRACKING & STROKES GAINED STATS Track every shot with GPS precision. Get shot by shot strokes gained breakdowns for driving, approach, short game, and putting. Filter by distance, lie, club, or round.
