Track your progress on the links. Crunch your numbers. Compete with your friends. Birdie Tracker is the simplest, most satisfying way to log every birdie, par, eagle, and round at every course you play - with optional full-detail scorecards when you want to go deeper. QUICK-LOG OR FULL SCORECARD - YOUR CHOICE Tap up or down on the dashboard to record birdies, pars, and eagles on every hole, or start a full hole-by-hole scorecard and save the round. Birdies, pars, and eagles from your scorecards automatically count toward your stats - no double entry. ADVANCED STATS DASHBOARD (NEW) Unlock a full performance review: • Scoring - average score, average to par, best round • Putting - avg putts per round, 3-putts, first-putt distance • Tee Shots - fairways hit %, mis-hit count, direction breakdown • Greens In Regulation - GIR %, total greens, average per round • Trouble - fairway and greenside bunkers, hazards, out-of-bounds, drops • Tee-Shot Clubs - your most-used clubs with comparison bars Toggle between THIS ROUND, LAST 10, and SEASON to see exactly how you're trending. Every metric shows a benchmark and a green/amber indicator telling you whether you're improving. GREENS IN REGULATION (NEW) Tap a single button on each hole to log a green hit in regulation. Set a Greens Hit goal - total for the season, or average per round - and watch the count tick up across every saved scorecard. SET PERSONAL GOALS Set up to 3 goals at a time: "Birdie 9 holes by September," "50 pars this season," "3 eagles this year," or "Hit 12 greens per round." Watch your countdown as you chase them. Goals move to history automatically when achieved. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Create a group with your regular foursome, your weekend crew, or a whole club. Invite friends with a 6-character code. See a live leaderboard ranking everyone's birdies, pars, eagles, greens, and rounds in real time.

Drop a Like or Knucks on a buddy's milestone, or comment in line. Open the chat tab to talk trash, plan tee times, and celebrate big moments. MULTIPLE COURSES + AUTO-FILL Track separate scorecards for every course you play. Switch between them instantly. When you start a round at a course someone has already played, the per-hole pars pre-fill automatically.
