Scratch: Golf Strokes Gained
Scratch: Golf Strokes Gained is a Apple app.
Description
Scratch is the calm, pay-once way to actually get better at golf.
It is built around the one number serious golfers care about — STROKES GAINED — and pairs every figure with one plain-English thing to work on. No subscription. No sensors. No GPS. One simple price, forever.
STROKES GAINED, DONE RIGHT
See exactly where you are losing strokes: Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green, and Putting — measured against a benchmark for your level. Quick mode logs a whole round in under 30 seconds; Detailed mode captures every shot for exact, measured numbers. Every estimate is labeled honestly.
KNOW WHERE TO PRACTICE
Scratch names your single biggest leak — "Approach is costing you ~1.5 strokes a round" — and suggests a drill for it. Track practice sessions and auto-scored games, then watch the leak close.
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MATTERS
- An unofficial handicap ESTIMATE (clearly never an official index)
- Fairways, greens, putts, scrambling, up-and-down, penalties
- Club carry distances and gapping
- Trends across rounds, months, and seasons
- An Apple Watch companion to log from the wrist
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data lives on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads.
Scratch deliberately skips GPS and course maps. Distances are entered by you — that is what keeps it honest, fast, and one-time.
