18 BOGEYS

Golf GPS · Apple Watch · iPhone

The yardage. Nothing else.

Front, centre and back of the green, and every hazard between you and it. On your wrist, without your phone, without a signal. The rangefinder is free — and it never interrupts your round to sell you something.

Not on the App Store yet. Coal Creek Golf Course, Louisville CO is mapped and in field testing.

Coming soon

You cannot download it today. Leave your address and you will hear from us once — the day it is on the App Store.

Used only to announce the launch. Never sold, never handed to an advertiser, no newsletter.

The honest one

A rangefinder is an instrument. It should cost what an instrument costs, work when there is no signal, and shut up while you play. That is the whole product argument, and every line of it is something you can check.

$29.99 a year, and that is the whole price list

One price, charged once a year. No weekly plan, no monthly plan that costs more than the yearly one, and no charge that appears because a trial ended — there is no trial to end. If you never pay us anything, the rangefinder still works.

Free is a working rangefinder, not a demo

Every distance, on every hole, on every course you have downloaded: green front, centre and back, water, bunkers, the dogleg, your layup points. No watermark, no rounded numbers, no three-holes-and-then-buy. If it shows you a number, it is the real number.

Nothing is sold to you between the first tee and the last putt

The paid tier is mentioned in exactly one place: a single row in Settings, composed like every other row in Settings. Not on the watch, not on the map, not on the scorecard, not in the round summary. A new screen starts out forbidden from selling you anything and has to argue its way onto the list.

Nothing about you leaves the phone

There is no account, no advertising, no third-party analytics and no tracking across apps. Your position is read on the device, used on the device and never sent anywhere — the app contains no code that could send it. The privacy page says how that was verified.

What you actually see

Two real screens, not renders. Hole 3 at Coal Creek from the back tee, a par 4 with water down the right the whole way.

iPhone showing hole 3 at Coal Creek: an aerial map with the green, a bunker and the water hazard, and below it 391 yards to the centre, 382 front, 405 back, and a list of hazards with their distances.
iPhone — the map, the number, and everything ahead of you with its carry and its clear-the-back. Screens shown in Spanish, the language the app ships in today.
Apple Watch showing hole 3, par 4: 368 yards to the centre of the green, 359 to the front, 382 to the back.
Apple Watch — the whole screen is the number. The course is on the watch, so the phone can stay in the bag.

Free is the whole rangefinder

Not a trial, not three holes, not a number with a watermark over it. Distances to the green and to every hazard ahead of you are free, permanently. There is no usage counter, no badge scattered through the interface, and no upsell anywhere inside a round. The paid tier is mentioned once, in Settings, and nowhere else.

The watch works on its own

The course lives on the watch. Leave the phone in the cart, in your bag, or at home — the numbers do not change. Starting a round from your wrist is not a paid feature here, which is a strange sentence to have to write.

No signal, no problem

The whole course is downloaded before you tee off: every green, bunker, water hazard, dogleg and layup point. Not a cached last-known state that degrades when the bars disappear — the data is simply on the device. Half the courses worth playing have no reception anyway.

It tells you when it does not know

If a tee box was never surveyed, the app says so instead of quietly measuring from somewhere near it. A confident wrong number is worse than an admitted gap — that is a rule in the code, not a slogan. Every measured feature carries where it came from and how sure we are.

Why 18 Bogeys

Eighteen bogeys is ninety strokes. This app is for the golfer who shoots 90: no coach, a couple of rounds a month, no interest in dispersion analytics. You will put one in the water on the 8th and you will laugh about it. We just tell you how far it was.
