Caddie Cat helps golfers learn their real club distances and make faster shot decisions on the course. Track how far you hit each club across full, 3/4, half, quarter, flop, and low-trajectory shots. Record details like grass, strike quality, and shot direction so your yardages become more useful over time. Use GPS tracking during a round, manually verify distances on a map, or enter distances yourself. Caddie Cat can suggest the closest shot for a target yardage, compare static values with app-calculated averages, and show common misses across your bag. Built for golfers who want practical yardage knowledge beyond a basic club-distance chart.
