Golf is hard enough without guessing your yardages. Mulligan gives you straight answers: how far to the green, what you hit last time, and where you're actually losing strokes. Start a round, drop your phone in your pocket, and keep playing. Your distance to the green stays live while you walk. Tap the club you hit and it logs the shot. Add your putts on the green. By the time you tap out on 18, you've got a clear picture of your round — no spreadsheet, no math. PLAY YOUR WAY Choose how much you want to track when you tee off: • GPS + Shot Tracking — distances plus full club and shot logging • GPS + Scorecard — yardages, and you keep your own score • Scorecard Only — just the numbers, no GPS A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR GAME Mulligan reads your rounds the way a good coach would and tells you, in plain English, where your shots are going. After every round you get a short recap — what worked, what cost you, and the one thing worth practicing before you play again. A fresh tip shows up on your home screen each day, and you can pull the recap back up for any past round whenever you want. It runs on AI, but it talks like a person, not a stat sheet. WHAT YOU GET • Front, middle, and back distances on a clear satellite view of every hole • Shot tracking that learns your real club distances over time • The stats that count: putts, greens and fairways hit, strokes gained, scoring trends • An Apple Watch app, so you can score from your wrist and leave the phone in your bag • 9-hole rounds that blend right into your average • See what your golf buddies are shooting and keep score together • Everything syncs across your iPhone and Apple Watch • No ads - no paywalls - all free We add new courses all the time. Find yours, hit Play, and go shoot a better number. Got a question or an idea? Email MulliganGolfPros@gmail.com — a real person reads every one.
