When measuring how far you hit your shot, it's important to consider the total distance, which includes both the carry and the roll-out. So if you hit a 7-iron that carries 150 yards and rolls out another 15 yards, your total distance would be 165 yards. This will really help you get accurate with your yardage! Keep practicing and check out the app to track your distances easily.

Great question, @mack042! When you’re tracking your shots, it’s important to select the Shot and Lie type correctly. This way, you can specify if you’re hitting your 6 iron off the tee or from the fairway. The app will then adjust for the distances based on the shot type you choose. Plus, we’ve recently updated the Strokes Gained system in the app to account for these variables and more! This will help you get a clearer picture of your performance and improve your game. Thanks for your question!

Hey there! A tournament with multiple rounds can only use one format. In this case, since you will have two different tournament formats, the tournament should be configured as a League with the two tournaments created in the League individually. This will allow you to have incorporate multiple tournament formats into one leaderboard (League Leaderboard). I hope this helps! Please reach out to [email protected] if we can help further.

@@18Birdies thank you very much, so what I did was create a league and add the same tournament on twice and change dates and times

Hey there! Ryder Cup/bracketed match play is absolutely on our radar. We have an alternative (linked below), though it is not a true Ryder Cup format. Stay tuned as we work on this! help.18birdies.com/article/261-can-i-run-a-ryder-cup-style-golf-tournament

@@18Birdies please make sure you have the option to have 9 hole 1v1 matches using net handicaps!! Thank you!

Your watch is too outdated

Yes! 18Birdies currently works with Galaxy Watch 4 and above. Compatibility will change over time, so please reach out to [email protected] for more info.

Hey there! If your watch is GPS enabled, the watch app will show the distances from the watch and the phone app will continue to show distances from the phone GPS. So if you leave the phone in the golf cart and walk to your ball on the other side of the fairway, the two devices would display different distances. Hope this helps!

@@18Birdies oh nice

Hi jamesonwaltz7246! That's a great question! 18Birdies uses GPS and input performance data to track your shots and performance over time. You don't need special sensors in your clubs; the app uses your phone's GPS to log your shots while you play. We also recommend using the updated Strokes Gained scoring system. This gives you useful performance stats to help you see your progress over time. You can track your distances, which clubs you use, and get insights into your strengths and areas where you can improve. It's an easy way to enhance your game without needing extra equipment. If you have more questions or need help getting started, just let us know at [email protected]!

Hey Dustin! Yes, you have the option to factor in handicap (Net) or just use each player's total score (Gross). When you enable handicaps for tournaments, you also have the option to use the converted Course Handicap, or use each player's 18Birdies Handicap Index (rounded). I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected] if we can help further.

Hey there - The tournament & league systems in the 18Birdies app are 100% free for tournament organizers and players. We do offer a Premium membership however, a Premium membership is completely optional and a Premium subscription will not unlock any additional tournament or league features. Hope this helps! ⛳️

Wow - love hearing this & congrats on the fantastic improvement! ⛳️

@@18Birdies It's much more fun when the ball goes where you are looking ! 😅👍

@@csnide6702 That's the truth! 🤣

No it goes off where you stop on the course.

Short answer. Golf courses can often be in very hilly and remote areas and waiting on good position for reception could affect pace of play

Exactly that and be able to be used as a stroke counter too

Hey @lawrenceroscoe6133! Great question! We just released a massive update to our Strokes Gained scoring system, which now automatically calculates yardages, scores, and tons of great stats for you! While walking to your ball and getting those distances sounds convenient, the new features allow you to focus on your game while the app does the work for you. Check it out and let us know what you think! ⛳

Great suggestion, @elanderis! We’re excited to share that we’ve introduced a new Strokes Gained system in the app that was designed with your idea in mind. Many golfers have requested a stroke counter feature, and we hope this addition makes it easier to use the app while on the course. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Ps how did you get so consistent hitting airborne ball with driver? Tips? Insights?
