At our core, every golfer wants to hit more greens in regulation. At 18 greens, we want you to hit all 18. To truly have a chance of hitting greens, you need to know with a degree of certainty how far your club will carry and/or roll out. With the proliferation of launch monitors and their function moving more into everyday practice, lessons and simulated rounds, a unique opportunity to leverage the data you generate into practical use. 18 Greens sole purpose is to take your launch monitor sessions and turn them into usable and actionable data. First and foremost is to create a club yardage/range dashboard for both carry and total yards. Use this to view to create your club distance profiles initially. 18 Greens also calculates the averages of all your statistic to view. Take it a level deeper and use your averages and try to get your swing deviations down and practice your way to more precise yardages. Work on swing speed for all clubs so your clubs gap properly. Have a portable monitor? Warm up for your round or tournament to your numbers, get the feel and groove them for that day's round. 18 Greens is meant to be dynamic. Easily enter, import, export, include, exclude and delete data. Keep your launch data fresh as you work towards your goal of dialing in your swing and generating more consistent clubs distances. Easily enter targets or goals for your clubs and view them with your averaged data. We know there are tons of different products out there, but I think this just gets to straight to the point and is pretty easy to use. Hopefully 18 Green will either get you into analyzing your swing data or just make it quicker. Try it out and see if you like it. It will take a little effort on your part to get your session's data into the application but after doing it a couple times it becomes really fast. You may have been doing something similar on the side already.

With the ease of importing, including, excluding, deleting, exporting and the need to keep data fresh this should not be an issue if files are stored in your iCloud drive and not on the device.
