Read full description

SKAFT. is an independent practice tracker built for golfers who want to turn range time into real handicap movement. WHAT YOU GET (free) • Log every practice session: drills, scores, notes, indoor / outdoor, weather, duration. • A library of 100 drills across putting, short game, approach, tee shots and bunker. Each one has a clear score, so you can see if you are getting better. • Log your rounds in about 30 seconds: score, putts, fairways, greens, up and downs and penalties. • Pick your course from the list of Icelandic courses and the par fills in. • See your round averages next to your practice stats, so you know where the shots go. • Author your own drills (up to 3 on the free tier) and share them with the community. • See your streak, session history for the last 30 days, and a live handicap progression chart. • Watch photos and videos other users have attached to any drill, or contribute your own. • Add friends and enter free competitions. SKAFT. PRO (monthly or yearly subscription) • Unlimited custom drills and full session history. • Advanced statistics: score progress per drill, personal-best markers, a "how you compare" card against peer-handicap and pro averages, weather-impact breakdowns. • Create competitions with your friends. • Weekly AI insight: a Claude-generated summary of your last two weeks of practice with concrete suggestions. Fully opt-in; requires your explicit consent before the first insight is produced. • PDF export of your sessions and statistics. SKAFT. PRO COACH (separate coach-tier subscription) • Everything in SKAFT. Pro, plus tools to coach other SKAFT. users. • Invite students by username; on their acceptance you get a read-only dashboard over their practice and their rounds. • Message each student directly, or talk to a whole group in a group chat. • Write private coach notes (general or session-attached). • Assign drills or a round, with a due date. • Create competitions across your student roster without needing to be friends first. • Organise students into private groups. FREE ACCESS Every new account can activate 14 days of free Pro access by tapping "Try Pro free for 14 days" inside the app. No payment details are collected and nothing renews automatically. When the free period ends your account simply returns to the free tier. Subscribing to SKAFT. Pro is a separate, full-price purchase. Pro Coach has no free period; it is a paid tier from day one. PRIVACY SKAFT. does not sell your data, does not use it for ad targeting, and does not train AI models on it. Practice content sent for translation and weekly insights is not used to train the sub-processor's models (Anthropic commercial API terms). Full privacy policy at skaftgolf.com/legal/privacy.

Golf Stats Tracker

Features

Fairway is the golf improvement app that shows you exactly WHERE you lose strokes - and prescribes what to practice to fix it. Most golfers practice randomly. They hit balls at the range with no plan, play rounds without analyzing weaknesses, and wonder why their handicap never drops. Fairway changes that with Strokes Gained analysis - the same framework used by tour professionals to eliminate stroke leaks. TRACK YOUR ROUNDS Log every round with stats that go beyond just the score: fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts per hole, up-and-downs, and penalty strokes. Track per-hole detail or use quick entry for faster logging. Add a post-round reflection to capture what went well and what cost you strokes while it's fresh. KNOW WHERE STROKES GO (PRO) Strokes Gained breaks your game into four categories - Driving, Approach, Short Game, and Putting - and compares your performance to a benchmark at your target handicap. Stop guessing. Start knowing: "I'm losing 4.2 strokes per round on approach shots. My driving is actually fine." PRACTICE WITH A PLAN (PRO) Fairway prescribes targeted drills based on YOUR data. Not generic tips - specific, timed exercises matched to your actual weaknesses. "Hit 20 balls with your 7-iron at a 155-yard target. Track how many land within 15 yards. Goal: 12 of 20." Practice with a score. AI GOLF COACH (PRO) Ask Fairway's AI coach any swing or strategy question and get a data-informed answer based on your logged patterns. "I keep pushing my 7-iron right" becomes a full mechanical diagnosis with a specific fix - grounded in your 12 rounds of data. KNOW YOUR HONEST CARRY The club distance tracker reveals your ACTUAL carry distances from logged rounds - not what you think you hit. Golfers consistently over-estimate distances. Know your true numbers: club up, stop short-siding yourself. HANDICAP TREND Track your World Handicap System (WHS) handicap over time. See your scoring average, best rounds, and season improvement at a glance. WORKS OFFLINE Golf courses have poor signal. Fairway logs rounds completely offline and syncs when you return to connectivity. FREE FEATURES - Round logging with score and basic stats - Per-hole tracking (score, fairways, greens, putts, penalties) - Post-round reflection journal - Handicap trend - Key stats dashboard - Club distance reference FAIRWAY PRO - Strokes Gained analysis - Prescribed practice plans - Miss pattern analysis - Stat trends over time - AI Golf Coach - Custom app icons Whether you are trying to break 100 for the first time or eliminate the double bogeys keeping you from scratch, Fairway turns random practice into targeted improvement by showing you where the strokes are hiding.
