Golf Stats turns every round into a clear picture of where your next stroke is hiding — and lets the people who care about your game watch it happen live. Built with guidance from John Riley, PGA Professional, it tracks the hole-by-hole stats a coach actually looks at, maps every shot on satellite imagery, and shows you where your strokes are really going. Made for junior golfers, their coaches and parents, and anyone who wants to improve on purpose. Free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account to create. WHY GOLFERS SWITCH TO GOLF STATS • Score from your wrist, your phone, Siri, or the Action Button — whatever keeps you in the game • A coach or parent follows your round live, hole by hole, with just a code • Every shot lands on a satellite map, with the lie detected for you • Strokes gained and miss patterns tell you what to practice next LET A COACH OR FAMILY FOLLOW ALONG — LIVE • Share a live round over iCloud with a short code, a link, or a QR code • Followers watch it update hole by hole — no account needed • Pin followed players to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — one live card shows everyone's thru and to-par • Optional push notifications every few holes, after each nine, or when the round finishes TRACK SHOTS FROM YOUR WRIST — APPLE WATCH • Tag a GPS pin for every shot, straight from your wrist • Dictate a shot — "7 iron, fairway, uphill" — and the club, lie, and slope fill in for you (on-device Apple Intelligence) • Set the flag and score the hole from your tracked shots before you move on • Change holes with the Digital Crown or a swipe HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI, SHORTCUTS & WIDGETS • Score a hole, tag a shot, set the flag, or jump to a hole with Siri or Shortcuts — on iPhone and Apple Watch • Put Tag a Shot on the Action Button, Control Center, or the Lock Screen • Keep your current hole — and the live standings of players you follow — on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and watch face • No sign-in and no Siri setup; everything stays on your device MAP YOUR ROUND, SHOT BY SHOT • A satellite Shot Map on every hole — a pin for each shot and one for the flag • Save a course's map offline and the Shot Map keeps working with no signal at all • Distances drawn automatically between shots (yards in play, feet on the green) • Each shot's lie is detected from the course map — green, fairway, bunker, rough, or water • "Plays-like" distances factor in uphill, downhill, and the wind • A Strategy button plans the hole shot by shot — where to aim, what club, which side to miss on, and the score to expect, modelled from your own shot pattern • Tag club, lie, stance slope, penalties, and relief to see exactly where strokes are won and lost THE STATS A COACH ACTUALLY USES • Fairways, greens in regulation, putts, penalties, up-&-down, and miss direction • Strokes gained off the tee, on approach, around the green, and putting — against PGA Tour, scratch, a 5/10/15 handicap, or bogey golfer • Round summaries with scoring and putting breakdowns and a club-distance chart • Ask AI for a coaching read on a finished round — on-device Apple Intelligence highlights what went well and what's costing strokes, or hand the summary to ChatGPT or Claude SHARE AND EXPORT • A crisp, printable scorecard PDF with strokes-gained summaries and shot-map pages • A spreadsheet (.xlsx) with per-round, scoring, strokes-gained, club-distance, and shot-detail sheets • Export several tournaments as one PDF or spreadsheet with a combined summary • A .golfstats file a coach or parent can open and import ALSO INCLUDED • Look up any course and tee worldwide to import par, distance, and handicap index • Current weather from your location, hole notes, review flags, and an editable club bag Your data stays yours: rounds live on your device, and live sharing only sends what you choose to share. Play your next round with Golf Stats and find out where your strokes are hiding.

Golf Swing Camera helps players and coaches record, review, and share golf swings on iPhone and iPad. Set up your phone, step into view, and swing when ready. The app watches for swing motion during a continuous practice session, automatically captures each swing, trims the clip, saves it to your library, and opens it for review. Keep practicing without walking back to the camera after every shot. MANUAL RECORDING FOR COACHES Choose Manual on the camera screen to start and stop recording yourself. Film a player, drill, or demonstration and save the full video without automatic swing trimming. Automatic recording remains the default. Set Manual as your default recording mode in Settings if you mainly use the app for lessons. REVIEW EVERY DETAIL Watch swings in slow motion at 0.25x, 0.5x, or full speed. Step through frames, loop key sections, scrub precisely, add swing-position markers, draw lines and angles, and use body-point overlays and suggested checkpoints to study your movement. COMPARE SWINGS SIDE BY SIDE Choose two swings from a session or directly from review. Play them together with synchronized slow motion, pause on matching positions, and scrub both clips precisely to spot changes in setup, sequencing, and impact. CREATE A COACH REVIEW Record a narrated review with synchronized playback, pauses, and timed drawings. Voice processing uses the iPhone's built-in microphone for clear narration, and the finished review can be shared with a student, coach, or friend. BUILT FOR PRACTICE • Automatic swing capture or manual start and stop • Recording up to 240 fps on supported devices • Adaptive frame rates when device conditions require it • Front and rear camera support • Configurable pre-roll and post-roll • Local swing library organized by practice session • Multi-select for comparing or deleting clips • Import swing videos from Photos • Share original, annotated, or Coach Review clips • Optional iCloud library sync over Wi-Fi or cellular PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account is required. Your videos stay on your device by default. If you enable iCloud sync, your library is stored privately in your iCloud account. Golf Swing Camera does not upload your swings to our servers.
