Enable Strokes Gained
To track Strokes Gained stats on 18Birdies, you’ll need to activate the Smart Tracking scoring mode.
Smart Tracking uses your phone or Apple Watch to automatically detect and track your shots in the background while you play — no manual input, no distractions. After each hole, you’ll just confirm your score and a few quick details, and 18Birdies will take care of the rest.
To get started with Smart Tracking in the 18Birdies App:
- Start a round and choose Smart Tracking as your scoring mode.
- Play as normal – Smart Tracking runs automatically in the background.
- After each hole, confirm your score, number of putts, first putt distance, and any penalties.
- Review or adjust shot placements as needed.
- Finish your round and get powerful stats like Strokes Gained, True Club Distances, and personalized insights.
💡 Tip: For best results, keep your phone in your pocket during play, or use your Apple Watch for the most accurate shot detection.
