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. 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.

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 PRO 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.
