I know there are apps like swing by swing, gamegolf, and others that track distances for each club and give you an average or a range. Are there any apps that do this that don't require you to be on a course? The course I usually play has a sort of driving range and approach practice area. There are flags placed on "greens" and then you can go to wherever you want and hit balls at them. There usually is no one there during the week or maybe one person practicing. This area would be perfect for me to find the range of my clubs but I don't know of an app that does this. It is right next to the 8th hole (of a 9 hole course) so I could log into swing by swing or game golf and just hit balls all over but it would result in me scoring like a 50 on that hole. Not really what I want to skew my stats.

Is there such an app that would work for this? If not a golf specific app maybe a odometer type app that gives you distance in yards and I could manually record my stats. I have downloaded a few odometer apps but they all are either in kilometers or miles which doesn't seem accurate enough to get good distances.

Get a shag bag and find a couple of empty baseball fields. Hit 20-30 balls with each club and just pace it off to the center of your landing area. Hit some both ways if wind is a factor. Google maps measuring tool is also good for establishing some landmarks for benchmark yardages in case your pacing is off a bit. Start with the odd or even numbered clubs first and you should get a good guess on the clubs that fit in between because you likely won't have time to hit 20-30 balls with every club in one session.

Pull up your range on Google Earth and use the distance measuring tool to measure between where you were and where you hit it. Helps to pace off from your range spot to a fixed object that will appear on the aerial photo.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
