Getting Started

Creators of the world’s most intelligent digital caddie, the ShotSense Golf Team blends deep analytics, cutting-edge AI, and real-world golf expertise to help every player make smarter decisions and score lower.

ShotSense Golf replaces guesswork with clear, data-driven strategy. Installing the app and completing its guided setup takes only a few minutes, yet the payoff lasts every round.

Guided Onboarding: Learn by Tapping

The first time you open ShotSense Golf, a guided onboarding sequence walks you through the core features in real time. In a handful of interactive screens you:

  • set up My Bag with your club distances, dispersions, and shot shapes
  • explore the ShotSense button, your one-tap gateway to club and aim recommendations
  • see Plays Like distances adjust yardages for elevation
  • outline hazards with the polygon tool and watch the optimal strategy adapt

Because onboarding is hands-on, you finish knowing not just where each feature lives, but why it matters.

Build “My Bag”: The Engine’s Starting Point

Onboarding starts with your My Bag profile. A built-in machine-learning model supplies instant baseline yardages and dispersion widths—often more accurate than the numbers golfers recall from memory—yet every field is editable if you know your precise data.

Enter (or refine later): carry and total yardage for each club, typical dispersion width, and shot shape (fade, draw, straight). The richer this information becomes, the tighter ShotSense can tailor its aim points to your game.

Interactive Learning Tours: Pebble & Pine Valley Basics

Before you load your home course, try the interactive onboarding modules—Basic One at Pebble Beach and Basic Two at Pine Valley. Each modules aims to demonstrate key features of the app:

  • how the app calculates optimal strategy with the ShotSense button
  • where plays-like yardages appear and why they matter
  • the impact of polygons, shot-shape visuals, and alternate routes on target selection

Tap through different clubs, see aim points move, and watch the decision engine recalculate.

Next, the third and fourth module cover additional features of the app:

  • Scorecard mode - record hole results and basic stats in seconds
  • Shot tracking - capture individual shots whenever you’re ready for deeper analysis

Plan Your First Round

Search a course you already know, add polygons for OB or water if needed, and step hole-by-hole through the map. Preview the recommended aim points, test an alternate route or two, and note how strategy shifts when you tweak clubs or targets. Repeat on an unfamiliar layout to see ShotSense adapt—a rehearsal that turns tomorrow’s tee time into confident execution.

Play Mode: Live GPS Guidance

Start Play Mode at the course and focus on swinging freely. ShotSense Golf follows your position, provide the optimal plays-like yardage, and suggests a club based on your My Bag data. One tap on the ShotSense button reveals the optimal aim point.

Post-Round Insights: Stats & Performance

Open Stats & Performance to review both single-round and cumulative data:

  • basic scorecard metrics—fairways, greens, putts, sand saves
  • strokes-gained–style breakdowns for driving, approach, short game, and putting

Every logged round enriches the data set, deepening the analysis of your on-course performance.

Next Steps

Keep up the good work - every round you play and every detail you log sharpens ShotSense Golf’s advice and your own course-management intuition. The more you explore strategies and feed the app accurate data, the clearer your performance trends become, helping you play smarter, score lower, and keep building confidence swing after swing.
