FAQ's

Need a definition for TEE SHOT, APPROACH SHOT, CHIPS, GS BUNKER, PUTTS, PENALTIES, SCORE?
While you are entering information for any hole, if you click on the actual word itself such as “Approach Shot”, you will see a definition.
What is "Tee Shot"?
The first shot you hit off the Tee.
What is "Penalties"?
Any strokes lost from a penalty situation. Example: Out of Bounds, Water Hazards, Unplayable Lies.
What is "GS Bunkers"?
Green Side Bunkers: Any stroke taken from a bunker that is closer than 30 Yards from the green.
What is "Chips"?
Any stroke taken within 30 Yards of the green that is not a putt or a green side bunker shot.
What is "Putts"?
Any stroke taken on or near the green with your putter.
What is "Score"?
The total number of strokes taken on the current hole, including any penalty strokes.
What is "Approach Shot"?
It is only the first shot you are attempting to hit the green. It is not to be confused with Greens in Regulation. Approach Shot can be your 2nd shot or 3rd or 4th, etc. It is the first shot that you are realistically aiming to land on the green. There can only be one approach shot marked on each hole. Example: if you have to re-hit your approach shot because you missed your first one OB – you only mark your first one in the app. There might be a hole where you don’t input an approach shot. Example: your second shot on a par 4 you are not going for the green and are aiming to hit it within 30y of the green (green is out of range or you are hitting out of trouble). Then you will only input tee shot, chip shot, putts for that hole.
How do I enter a second "Approach Shot"?
You don’t need to enter your second approach shot. Only enter your first approach shot and the Goach A.I. Engine will figure out the rest.
What if I am not going for the green on my second shot on par 4?
Do not mark an “Approach Shot” if you are not attempting to hit the green.
What distance do I input on my "Approach Yards"?
Enter the actual yardage to the pin. Do not include wind or elevation change.
How do I switch between holes?

What happens when I don’t see my course?
Please let us know and we will add it to our data base. You can still fully enjoy all the benefits of the Goach using very easy Custom Course option. The only difference is that it will prompt you to enter par before each hole.
