Installing the app
Wood to Wedge is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — there's nothing to download from an app store. It runs in your browser but can be installed to your home screen so it feels and behaves like a native app.
Navigate to woodtowedge.com/app. Make sure you're using Safari on iPhone — other browsers on iOS don't support PWA install.
On iPhone, tap the share icon at the bottom of the screen. On Android in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
Give it a name (or leave it as "Wood to Wedge") and tap Add. The icon will appear on your home screen.
Starting a round
Tap + New Round on the home screen. You'll be asked to search for your course and select a tee box before teeing off.
Type the course name. If it appears in the list, tap it to select. If not, you'll see an option to create it inline.
Enter the course name, pick 9 or 18 holes, and set the par for each hole. This data is saved for everyone — you only need to do it once.
Pick from the Men's or Women's tees. If no tees exist yet for this course, you can add one right there — enter the tee name, yardage, course rating, and slope.
If you're playing a front 9 and back 9 from different courses (or different tees), tap + Add back 9 after selecting the front course. Each nine gets its own course and tee selection.
If you're starting on hole 10, change the starting hole. Otherwise leave it at 1 and tap Start Round.
Tracking shots
Shot tracking uses your phone's GPS to record where each shot starts and ends, along with the club you used.
Stand at your ball and tap Track Shot. Pick your club from the list.
The GPS bar shows accuracy in meters. Excellent (±3m) or Good (±6m) is ideal — Fair is acceptable. Poor means wait a little longer or move slightly away from obstructions.
After hitting, tap End Shot when you reach the ball. GPS re-locks at the new position and saves start and end coordinates along with the distance in yards.
Filling in the scorecard
Tap Enter Score at any point during or after a hole. If your course has par data configured, the par field is pre-filled automatically.
You can enter: total strokes, putts, penalties, drive direction (left / straight / right), and whether you hit a sand trap. Tap Save & Next Hole to advance automatically, or use the hole navigation arrows to move freely.
To see your current scorecard mid-round without ending the round, tap View Scorecard in the top right. Tap OK to return to tracking.
Syncing a round
Rounds are saved locally on your device first — you don't need a signal on the course. When you're done and back on a connection, sync your round to the cloud.
Tap End Round in the top right. You'll see the final scorecard summary. Tap Finish Round to save it.
On the home screen, find your round and tap the Sync button. It turns to ✓ Synced when done.
Once synced, the round appears in the Analytics Dashboard with full stats.
Setting up a course
Courses can be created on the fly when starting a round, or managed in detail through the Course Admin page. Course data — pars, tees, and green locations — is shared across all users, so it only needs to be set up once.
The course admin tool is available to course managers. Sign in and navigate to the admin page to see the list of all existing courses.
Tap + New Course to add one, or tap an existing course to edit it.
Each hole shows 3 / 4 / 5 buttons. Tap the correct par. Changes save immediately.
Tap Map green on any hole. A satellite map opens — tap the center of the green to place a pin, then tap Save location. Once mapped, the app shows your distance to that green during a round.
Configuring tees
Tee boxes store the yardage, course rating, and slope for a given set of tees. Adding them unlocks handicap-relevant data in future updates and lets each player pick their correct tee when starting a round.
Scroll down past the hole grid to the Tee Boxes section.
Enter the tee name (e.g. Blue, White, Red), select Men or Women, and fill in total yardage, course rating (e.g. 72.1), and slope (e.g. 131).
The par grid is pre-filled from the course's base pars. Adjust any holes where this tee plays a different par (common for women's tees on par-5s that play as par-6).
The tee appears in the list immediately. Repeat for each set of tees on the course.
Using the dashboard
The dashboard loads all your synced rounds and gives you a full picture of your game over time.
