Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chronogolf by Lightspeed at 64% against Golfy's 17%. Chronogolf by Lightspeed also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Golfy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
