The golf GPS rangefinder that models the wind. GolfCore treats the course the way an F1 team treats a car. Lidar measures the ground and every tree, and the model moves the air across that surface the way physics says it moves: tree lines act like wings and spoilers, ridges bend the flow, and eddies roll off the canopy. You watch the wind move across the 3D course, and you get its speed where the ball leaves your feet and where it flies at the apex. Then read the green. The wind decides where the ball flies; the green decides how it bounces and rolls once it lands. Contour maps with fall lines on every mapped green show the slope it lands on and the break before you mark the ball, with true yardages to every bunker, carry and edge. 22,000+ courses are mapped green by green, out of 35,000 in the library. Find your course at golfcore.org, then play it here. ON THE COURSE • Rangefinder yardage to the front, center and back of the green at every course, on a satellite map • Distances to hazards, bunkers, carries and layups • Green contour maps from lidar: elevation bands and fall-line arrows that show how the ball will bounce and roll • Wind modeled over every hole: at your feet, at the apex, and swirling across the 3D course • Temperature and today's pin on the hole you are playing • Ask the caddie: one read of your lie, the wind and the number, in plain words • A scorecard in the map that records putts, fairways, greens in regulation, the club off the tee and your first putt • Drop a pin where each shot lands to keep track of the club and the distance SHOT TRACER • Record a swing, or pick a swing video from Photos and add the ball flight to it • The flight is drawn on your video, pinned to the sky even when the camera moves • Save the traced video to your phone, post it to the Yard, or share it anywhere • Premium: trace several shots in one video, choose the line colour and weight, add a comet tail, and share without the watermark YOUR GAME • Sign your card and the round posts to the Yard with the achievements you earned • Your history shows a handicap estimate, your average and best differentials, and every round you kept • Save a course to your phone and play the whole round with no signal ON YOUR WRIST — GolfCore runs on Apple Watch.
