Tiger 5 Tracker for iOS · version 1.2
Questions, or something not working? Write to [email protected]. A person reads it. The version you are running is on the Staton Golf screen in the app: tap the credit at the foot of the start screen.
How it works
- Starting a round
- Tap Start 18 Holes or Start 9 Holes. You land on hole 1.
- Naming the course
- After Start, the app offers to find the course you are standing on. On the first tee, tap Find Courses Near Me and allow location once; pick your course from the five nearest, or tap No Course. From the car park or the road it may find nothing; tap it again from the tee. The course is kept with the round.
- The scorecard
- Picking a course lands you on its own screen, before hole 1. The first time at a course, tap Get the Scorecard: the par and length of every hole come from Staton Golf's own server and stay on your phone, so a course is fetched once. Pick your tee there and the app remembers it next time; every hole then shows what it is playing. At a club with more than one course, the screen names the card it found; if that is not the course you are playing, tap Not This Course and play on without it. From your third round at a course, the same screen gives you a heads-up — the things to watch for, and the par of each hole it names. Golf is hard enough; it is a nudge before you tee off, not a verdict.
- Tracking a hole
- Each hole shows the five mistakes with a box on the right. Tap a box to tick it, tap again to untick. A clean hole has nothing ticked, which is the goal. The arrows at the top move to the previous or next hole; ticks are saved as you go.
- The summary
- Tap Summary at any point for the count of each mistake, the total, and how many holes were clean so far. Back to Round returns you to the hole you were on.
- Ending a round
- End Round keeps the round on your phone and shows it, with a practice tip or two when it ran nine holes or more. Done returns to the start screen. Nothing is lost: every ended round is kept.
- Your rounds
- Tap Rounds on the start screen for every round you have kept, newest first. Tap one to read it back, or to delete it. All Time shows your rates per 18 holes across everything, beside your last five rounds.
- Putting the phone away
- Lock it, pocket it, play four holes: when you come back the app is where you left it. If iOS has closed the app in the meantime, the start screen offers Continue with the hole you were on.
The five mistakes
- Double bogey or worse
- A double, or worse, anywhere.
- Three-putt
- Three or more putts on a green.
- Bogey on a par 5
- A bogey or worse on a hole that should give up par.
- Bogey inside 150 yards
- A bogey after an approach from wedge or short-iron range.
- Blown easy up-and-down
- A simple chip and putt not converted. Chipping twice counts.
Requirements
iPhone, iOS 15 or later. No account. The app connects only when you ask: tap Find Courses Near Me and it asks Apple Maps for the courses nearby; tap Get the Scorecard and it asks a server Staton Golf runs for that course's scorecard, sending the course's position and nothing about you or your phone. Decline, or tap No Course, or skip the scorecard, and nothing changes.
Privacy
The app collects nothing about you. The privacy policy says so in full, including what happens when you look up a course or fetch its scorecard.
