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.
