Every shot you log makes BirdieBen a little smarter

One app for the whole round: you play, BirdieBen spots where the improvement is. BirdieBen, by the way, is simply his nickname, one golfers gave him after he helped them make more birdies.

Log every shot and BirdieBen gets smarter

Track how many shots you needed on each hole, and you'll instantly know how many Stableford points that's worth. No math required: every shot you log gives BirdieBen more to work with. Want more detail? With a Pro subscription you can also track exactly what you did on each shot, for even sharper advice.

Stay on top of your handicap

Track how your handicap develops after every round you log. From handicap 54 to 40, from 18 to a single-figure handicap, or further into plus territory: you'll see in black and white that you're improving.

The more data, the more insight

Every score, every putt, every fairway you log trains BirdieBen. He sees exactly where you're losing shots: off the tee, on the approach, or once you're on the green. Before your next round, you already know where the improvement lies.

Every stroke tells a story

Log more than your score. Track your putts and whether you found the fairway, so you see exactly where you win or lose strokes: off the tee, into the green, or on the putting surface.

Prepare for a tournament

Walk a course in advance and make notes per hole: areas to avoid, how the green breaks, likely pin positions, and more. Note them down in BirdieBen's caddie book and use the information during the tournament. That's how you go for more birdies.

I travel a lot for golf, and BirdieBen makes it easy to log rounds anywhere. The worldwide course database means I never have to search for my club, and if it's missing, adding it myself takes seconds.
