Window Golf turns your phone into a precision aiming tool for serious range practice. Point your phone down the range, enter a target distance and a dispersion window in yards, and Window Golf overlays exact aiming bars on the live camera view. The bars adjust automatically as you zoom, so your target window stays honest at every distance. THE PRACTICE TOOL - Live-camera aiming bars built from real angular math, not guesswork - Enter any target distance and dispersion window in yards - 1x to 5x zoom, bars recalculated for each lens - 5-yard interior tick marks on wider windows - Clean, glare-resistant heads-up display made to be read in bright sun COMBINES — STRUCTURED, ADAPTIVE PRACTICE - Three drills: Driver, 6 Iron, and Pitching Wedge - Starting dispersion widths anchored to your handicap index - Hit your 10 shots, log how many landed in the window - Widths tighten or widen automatically based on your recent results - Full history and per-club stats so you can see your dispersion shrink over time BUILT FOR THE RANGE - Landscape, full-screen, fast to use with a glove on - Works offline — run a Combine anywhere, results sync when you reconnect - No clutter, no gimmicks: the camera and the bars are the product No account, login, or email required — just open the app and practice. Window Golf is a visual practice aid. The bars are estimates generated from your inputs and your device's camera; it is not a measurement instrument.

The Scratch App — Strokes Gained golf tracking, practice & tests The Scratch App shows you exactly where you're losing shots — and gives you a clear plan to get them back. It's built on Strokes Gained, the same math the pros use, so every round and every range session answers one question: what should I work on to score lower? ON THE COURSE • Track your round shot‑by‑shot on real satellite imagery of the hole you're playing. • Live GPS distance to the green, with one‑tap shot logging — walk to your ball, tap, and keep moving. • Rather do it by hand? Drop, drag, and edit every shot right on the map. • Get a full Strokes Gained breakdown by category: driving, approach, wedges, chipping, and putting. KNOW YOUR GAME • See your true club distances and shot dispersion — real averages and your typical miss, left or right, built from your own rounds. • A running scorecard, full round history, and your trends over time. PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE • A recommendation engine reads your rounds and points you straight at your biggest score‑leak — then hands you a fix plan and drill videos. • Six Strokes Gained skill tests let you compare techniques, swing thoughts, and equipment head‑to‑head, so you know what actually works for your game. Set a goal — Break 90, Break 80, or scratch — and your benchmarks tune to match it. Whether you're grinding to break 100 or chasing scratch, The Scratch App puts tour‑level feedback in your pocket. SUBSCRIPTION The Scratch App Pro unlocks fix plans and drill videos, full trend charts, the Analysis hub, and your benchmark comparisons. • $12.99/month or $99.99/year — an auto‑renewable subscription. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto‑renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
