golfity: Strokes Gained Stats

Update a year and a half later and adding a star : coming back to this app after using shotscope, arccos, garmin, and a host of Apple Watch apps (hole 19, 18Birdies, GolfPad, Golf Shot, Tangent). This app is great but now has a subscription, which I would happily pay if there was an Apple Watch version w GPS so I don’t need to be constantly have my phone out during a round. The stats reports are simple, clear, useful! The putting metrics are fixed. Still love best shots and awful shots and the green/red color coding. None of the other solutions I tried presented this useful information so well, kudos! —————————- This app is pretty great. I love the metrics it gives you when tracking shot by shot. I would give it 5 stars except for a major defect in the putting metrics. I track by yards, and on the green it asks you how many feet away you are. At the end of the round it saves the data and calculates the metrics. Everything is good except the putting metrics think the feet distance I entered for putts on the green are meters! So if I one putt a 12 foot putt it shows that I sank a 12 meter (35 foot!) putt. Fix this and the app is easy 5 stars, though a report showing distance by club instead of distance to hole would be really nice. As it is, you need to do math to know how each hit was, i.e., how long you drove it off the tee, or how long you hit your 7 iron, etc.

I am really enjoying the Golfity app. I’m only 3 rounds in with this app, but the app layout is intuitive and easy to use now that I’ve learned how to navigate the various screens. I love the way you can easily compare your strokes gained stats vs different benchmarks because this gives me added insight on where the skills differences are for instance between 5 handicap and 0 handicap golfers. Today I may have stumbled on a potential huge benefit of this app for me, but I need more rounds played to substantiate my hypothesis. I am finding that this app is helping me to focus on the current shot at hand as opposed to thinking about how I am doing on the hole, or how my overall round is going. I honestly didn’t know what my score was on either the front or back nine today until I typed shot by shot detail into golfity. By the way, I played 5-6 shots better than my handicap and it’s only round 3 of the season. If that added “focus in the present” turns out to be a consistent theme, this app is giving me much more benefit than stat tracking.

This app is designed very well with clear easy to understand interface. The developers really know what they’re doing here. Love that there are no ads and that it doesn’t try to replace my golf gps watch. Just used it for hole by hole stats for a round then also played with the strokes gained feature which is so cool. Love that you can compare against your handicap. I do wonder why it gives me 8% sand saves when I didn’t save any shot by shot and not sure how it got to 30% scrambling. I tried to export but nothing showed up in iPhone files. Above is minor though and really looking forward to using this app to track my stats!
