Caddium
Read full descriptionHide full description
You keep score on the course. Caddium keeps score on the range. Golfers practice for hours and never see a number for it. Caddium turns range sessions into six scored games — benchmarked to your handicap — so every practice session tells you exactly where you stand, and where to work next. COMBINE · COMPETE · COMPARE Play six games modeled on real scoring: • Putting Combine — 18 putts across 9 distances, scored the way Arccos Golf and Lou Stagner benchmark real putting performance. • 14 Drives — driver or 3-wood off the tee, graded fairway-found / playable / penalty. • 18 Irons — approach shots by club band (short / mid / long irons), graded on to the green / playable / in trouble. • 9 Wedges — scoring wedges from 40, 70, and 100 yards, graded on proximity. • 9 Shapes — draw, fade, and straight on call, graded on whether you hit the shot you called. • Game Combine — 18 alternating drives and mid-irons, the closest thing to playing a hole from tee to green. Every shot in a grade game is simple: +1 striped, 0 playable, −1 penalty. Putting scores as putts-to-hole-out. Tap a result after every shot — no launch monitor, no data logging, no dashboard to interpret. THE HANDICAPS HIDING INSIDE YOUR HANDICAP Your single index is really four: Off the Tee, Approach, Short Game, and Putting. Caddium tracks each one as its own handicap from your last three rounds of that game, then rolls all four into one headline number — your Caddium Index. See which department is carrying you and which one is costing you strokes, with trends and drill-downs (by club, by iron band, by shot mix) as your history builds. Every score comes with strokes gained or lost against a target index you set — so you always know whether today's range session actually moved the needle. HONEST ABOUT THE NUMBERS Putting benchmarks are measured, drawn from real Arccos Golf data (Lou Stagner). Long-game benchmarks are Caddium's own modeling estimates, clearly labeled, and they sharpen as more real sessions accumulate. Nothing is dressed up as more precise than it is. BUILT TO BE USED ON THE RANGE Large tap targets, an Undo for mis-taps, and a running total you can read at a glance — designed for a bucket of balls in one hand and a phone in the other. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Caddium runs entirely on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no network connection, no ads, no third-party trackers. Your rounds stay on your device, with export/import so you're always in control of your own data. Practice that keeps score.
