You put your clubs down at the end of September. Didn't touch them until April. That swing tip your buddy mentioned in late August that completely changed your backswing? Gone. The posture pointer you overheard at the driving range? Can't remember it. The putting adjustment that shaved three strokes off your round? Somewhere in the back of your mind, fading fast. Golf is a game played between the ears, and the biggest opponent isn't the course. It's forgetting. Between the Ears is the personal golf tip journal built for everyday golfers who want to stop losing the little things that make a big difference. Log swing tips, technique notes, and course insights the moment they happen, so when spring rolls around, your game picks up right where it left off. What you can do: - Log tips by club or shot type — driver thoughts, putting reads, wedge adjustments - Build your personal Playbook of general swing tips and technique notes - Tag tips to specific clubs in your bag - Add photos and videos to bring your notes to life - Search and filter your tips by category, club, or keyword - Track your progress season by season with automatic year-based organization - Roll over your best tips from last season so nothing gets lost Your game. Your notes. Your way. Between the Ears isn't a swing analyzer or a stat tracker. It's a quiet, organized place to capture what's working, and remember it when it matters most.
