BirdieLab tracks your golf rounds hole by hole — keeping score while building a clear picture of your game over time. Score Every Hole, The Right Way Enter your score, fairways hit, greens in regulation, and putts for each hole as you play. Your total and score-to-par update in real time, so you always know where you stand. Play a full 18, or just the front or back nine. Live GPS Yardages Open the GPS view on any hole and see front, center, and back-of-green distances from your current position or the tee. Drop a layup marker on the course map to measure to a target. Auto mode switches from tee distance to your position as you move down the fairway. Your Handicap, Calculated Right BirdieLab computes your USGA handicap index as your rounds accumulate — best N differentials from your last 20 rounds, multiplied by 0.96. The number updates automatically, and you can track how it moves over time.

Filter by course to compare your performance at each track. Career stats give you lifetime totals at a glance, along with your best and worst rounds.
