You're standing over a 185-yard shot. The wind is gusting from the left, the temperature is in the 40s, and you're elevated. So what do you actually hit? PlaysLike is your on-course caddie — calculating real-time, weather-adjusted yardages so you stop guessing and start hitting the right club. DIAL IN YOUR DISTANCE PlaysLike takes your GPS or laser yardage and adjusts it in real time based on wind speed, wind direction, temperature, pressure, humidity, and elevation. You'll see exactly what the shot plays like — not just how far it is. PERSONALIZED TO YOUR GAME PlaysLike's Ball Flight Profile calibrates every adjustment to how you actually fly the ball. Set your carry distances and ball flight preferences, and every yardage you see is built on your numbers — not a generic average. LAUNCH MONITOR PRECISION — NOW AT SETUP Already use a launch monitor? Now when you open PlaysLike for the first time, you'll enter your ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate right in the onboarding flow. No digging through settings — your data is locked in before you ever reach the first tee. MASTER THE ELEMENTS Wind affects every shot differently depending on its direction relative to your target. PlaysLike uses a live compass and full adjustment breakdown — wind, temperature, pressure, and elevation — so you always know exactly why the number is what it is. SMARTER CLUB SELECTION, EVERY SHOT PlaysLike walks you through a simple setup to calibrate your carry distances for every club. That means every adjustment it gives you is built on your numbers, on your game, on every course you play. WHO IT'S FOR PlaysLike is built for the golfer who wants to think like a caddie. If you've ever second-guessed a club into the wind, come up short on a cold morning, or missed a green because the yardage just didn't feel right — this app was made for you. FEATURES AT A GLANCE - Real-time weather-adjusted yardages - Live wind compass with full adjustment breakdown - Personalized Ball Flight Profile setup - Launch monitor data integration — entered during onboarding - Temperature, pressure, humidity, and elevation factored in - Simple, clean interface built for on-course use - Works alongside any rangefinder or GPS app Download PlaysLike and play the yardage that actually matters.
