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.
