Never misread a putt again. PuttView shows you exactly why you're missing. The average amateur golfer takes 40 putts per round, while PGA Tour players only take 29. This 11-stroke gap is the most recoverable gap in golf - and PuttView helps you close that efficiently. Instead of just rolling putts, start practice deliberately with immediate and accurate feedback on every putt. Using your iPhone's LiDAR sensor, PuttView scans any green and overlays precise, data-based visuals directly on the surface. Contour lines, slope arrows, the correct putting line, aiming point, and speed and distance data. All in real time. On any real green, indoors or outdoors. No guesswork. No estimation. Just the read. What PuttView shows you: Contour Lines See the exact topography of the green. Scan any surface, with or without a putt lined up. Understand how it breaks before you ever address the ball. Slope Arrows: Instant directional cues showing the fall line at every point on the green. The exact direction the ball would roll downhill. Read the green faster, more accurately. Ideal Line: Not just the optimal line. The correct line, calculated for perfect pace. See exactly where your ball needs to travel from the moment it leaves the putter face until it hits the bottom of the cup. Aiming Line & Aiming Point: A precisely defined start direction and target point. Eliminate alignment guesswork entirely. Putt Info: Speed, distance, and break data for every putt. Build a feel for pace and line grounded in real numbers. Built for golfers who take their game seriously. The PuttView app is not a simulator. It works on any green, outdoors, and indoors. The same technology trusted by tour professionals, elite coaches, and leading training facilities worldwide is now in your pocket. Scan. Read. Putt.

About

Tiger 5 Tracker

Features
Read full description

Tiger 5 Tracker keeps count of the five mistakes that cost a golfer the most — the ones Tiger Woods tracked, on the theory that avoiding them matters more than making birdies: • Double bogey or worse • Three-putt • Bogey on a par 5 • Bogey inside 150 yards • Blown easy up-and-down A scorecard has no room for them, and a pencil is no good in a glove. So this is five big boxes on a green screen, one hole at a time, built to be tapped with a thumb. Start 9 or 18 holes. On each hole, tick whatever went wrong — or nothing, which is the goal. Arrows move between holes. The summary shows the count per mistake, the total, and how many holes were clean, at any point in the round. End the round and it is kept on your phone; open the app the next morning and it offers to pick up where you left off. Every round you end is kept. Rounds lists them, newest first; open one to read it back, or delete it. All Time shows your rate for each mistake per 18 holes across everything, beside your last five rounds, and a practice tip or two from what the numbers say — three-putts are distance control, not luck. There is no account to make and nothing to sign in to. The app connects to nothing — except, when you tap Find Courses Near Me on the first tee, to Apple Maps, to name the course you are standing on. Your rounds stay on your phone. The "Tiger 5" is the name golf instructor Scott Fawcett gave these five mistakes in his DECADE course-management system, after the stat Tiger Woods kept. This app is not affiliated with either.
