Game Plans
AI-generated shot-by-shot strategies for every hole
Overview
Game Plans use AI to create a shot-by-shot strategy for every hole on a GPS-mapped course. Based on your club distances, the course layout, and hazard positions, the app recommends which club to hit, where to aim, and what to avoid. Par 5s even get dual strategies - aggressive and conservative - with scoring probability estimates.
How to Use Game Plans

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI decide what club to recommend?
The AI combines your club distances (from My Bag), the hole layout, hazard positions, and optimal landing zones to recommend the safest play that maximizes scoring potential.
What are dispersion ellipses?
Dispersion ellipses show the likely landing area for a shot based on typical golfer accuracy at that distance. They help you understand the risk of a shot - if the ellipse overlaps a hazard, you might want to take less club.
Do game plans update if I change my club distances?
Yes. Game plans are generated based on your current club distances, so updating your bag data will adjust the recommendations.
What are caddie tips?
When you're scoring a round on a mapped course, caddie tips appear on each hole showing you the key strategy points from your game plan. It's like having a caddie in your pocket.
