Episode 1: Learn Your Distances | Me and My Golf | 18Birdies

[@lawrenceroscoe6133]

I have a question: Why doesn't the app just let you hit the ball, then you walk to it and let the app know you are next to your ball so it can calculate your yardages FOR you?

[@sjgcomedy4963]

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

[@elanderis]

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

[@18Birdies]

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! ⛳

[@18Birdies]

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!

Do you input total carry or overall distance into 18birdies?

[@18Birdies]

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.

question what if you say for example you use 6i off the TEE and also 6i of the deck your distances will be off correct how would that throw your distances off from tee and from fairway thanks

[@18Birdies]

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!

Distance a yardage chart hole by hole and what is the best app to use

[@jamesonwaltz7246]

I dont understand how this app tracks anything? Like arccos as trash as it is, has sensors in the club to the app. How does thisd work? Or am I doing all the work? Very confused.

[@18Birdies]

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 [e-mail]!
