Tell it the distance. It tells you the club. Below Par is a caddie that knows your bag. Type the yardage to the pin, add the wind, and it names the club from your own carry numbers — not a chart of what a scratch golfer hits. Then you score the hole and move on. YOUR COURSES, ALREADY THERE 205 Alberta courses across 125 towns and cities: municipal, public, semi-private, private and resort, eighteens and nines. Pick yours and tee off. A CADDIE, NOT A CALCULATOR • Distance in, club out, with one sentence saying why • Wind worked into the number, and the app says so when conditions are calm rather than inventing an adjustment • Your yardage card, longest to shortest, with the gaps in your set called out A HANDICAP YOU CAN CHECK • Calculated under the 2024 Rules of Handicapping — best 8 of your last 20 • Every round shows the rating it used and where that rating came from • A round off an unrated tee tracks your scoring and says plainly that it won't move your index This is Below Par's own estimate, worked out on your device. It is not an official handicap and nothing is posted to a golf association. PRACTICE THAT KNOWS WHY • 60 drills, 22 of them carrying the research they rest on, cited • 18 routines — twenty minutes before you tee off, an hour at the range, a session on the putting green • Film a swing and read it back, phase by phase NUMBERS THAT SAY SOMETHING • Trends over your last five rounds, each point labelled with its own value • Insights written as one plain sentence, each with its evidence and how sure the app is • A stat with too little behind it says so instead of showing you a zero ON YOUR WRIST Your yardages on the watch, and the club for the number you're looking at. SHARE THE ROUND Scorecard and Marker cards that paste straight onto your own photo in Stories. The app never asks for your camera roll. Below Par Pro unlocks the deep analysis behind each insight and swing analysis. Trends, your scorecard, your bag and your handicap are free and stay free.
