Installing the app
Wood to Wedge can be installed directly to your home screen so it feels and behaves like a native app — no setup required.
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.
Adding a new course
If your course isn't in the system yet, you can create it right from the New Round screen — no separate setup required. Course data is shared across all users, so it only needs to be entered once.
Type the course name in the search box when starting a new round. If it doesn't appear, tap + Add this course
Give the course a name and choose 9 or 18 holes.
Tap 3, 4, or 5 for each hole. This is used to calculate your score vs par throughout the round.
Adding tees
Tee boxes store the yardage, course rating, and slope for a set of tees. You can add them directly from the New Round screen when selecting your tee.
After selecting a course, if no tees exist yet (or you need a new one), tap the add tee option in the tee picker.
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 tee is saved and selected immediately. It will be available for all users on this course going forward.
Using the dashboard
The dashboard loads all your synced rounds and gives you a full picture of your game over time.
Overview cards show totals and averages: rounds played, holes played, average score vs par, average putts, fairways hit percentage, and sand trap percentage.
Score Trend is a bar chart showing your score vs par for each round over the selected time range.
Rounds table lists all rounds with date, holes, score, and download options. Click a round name to open the Round Detail view — a full scorecard plus all clubs used with min/avg/max distances. Click any club row to expand it and see individual shots with hole number and timestamp.
Club Distances shows every club you've used across all rounds in the selected time range, with minimum, average, and maximum distances.
Par Type Averages shows your average score vs par broken down by par 3, par 4, and par 5 holes.
AI Club Analysis
Once you've tracked several rounds, the dashboard can analyse your club data using AI and give you a personalised breakdown of your bag.
It looks at consistency (how tightly grouped your distances are), gapping (the yards between each club), redundancy (clubs that overlap in distance), and combines it all into specific practice recommendations tailored to your game.
Make sure you have at least a few rounds synced so there's meaningful club data to work with.
Scroll down to the Club Distances table. In the section header you'll see a ✦ Analyze button.
Select the handicap range that best describes you. Optionally choose a focus area to steer the analysis:
- Consistency — which clubs are all over the place
- Distance — how far you actually hit each club
- Scoring — where you're losing strokes
Your club stats are sent securely to Claude AI, which reads through your data and returns a written analysis in a few seconds. It appears directly below the Club Distances table.
View shots in Google Earth
Every round can be exported as a KML file and opened in Google Earth, where you can fly over the course and see each shot plotted as a pin on the satellite imagery.
Go to the Dashboard, find the round in the Rounds table, and click its name to open the Round Detail view.
In the round detail header, tap the KML button. A .kml file will download
to your device.
On desktop, go to earth.google.com or open the Google Earth desktop app. On mobile, install the Google Earth app from the App Store or Google Play.
Desktop (web): Click the menu icon (☰) in the top left, choose
Projects, then Open → Import KML file from computer.
Select the downloaded file.
Desktop app: Go to File → Open and select the .kml
file.
Mobile: Tap the menu, go to Projects, tap the +
button, and choose Import KML file. Navigate to the downloaded file.
Google Earth will fly to the course and show each shot as a labelled pin — driver shots, irons, wedges, and putts each get a distinct style. Tap any pin to see the hole number, club, and distance.
