Blurdie is the practice app that mirrors how golf is actually played — on the courses you actually play. WHAT'S FREE Live GPS distances, home-range pin yardages, full round tracking with a scorecard that fills itself in, and your shot stats. The everyday golf GPS — free.

RANGE REPS, FINALLY SCORED (Premium) Aim at a pin, hit the shot, tap where it landed. Every ball is scored in Strokes Gained — the stat the pros are measured by. Not what your 7-iron averages. Whether it's gaining you shots or giving them away. SCOUT THE ROUND BEFORE YOU PLAY IT (Premium) Walk next weekend's course hole by hole from your couch — the way pros walk it on Wednesday. Read real elevation from aerial LiDAR contours, simulate your shots with dispersion from newbie to pro, and watch Strokes Gained move as you change your aim.
