Golf is a thinking game.
We built a tool for it.
Yards is a pre-round caddie. Built by golfers who got tired of guessing on the first tee.
Tour pros have caddies.
A touring pro doesn't step on the first tee without a strategy for every hole. Their caddie walked the course, measured the carries, checked the wind, and built a plan: this club off the tee, aim at that tree, miss to the right. That preparation is the difference between scoring and surviving.
Most golfers don't have a caddie. They stand on the tee, guess which club feels right, aim at the middle of the fairway, and hope for the best. Yards changes that.
A 5 and a 25 should play the same hole differently.
Your caddie uses your handicap and club distances to generate personalized strategy for every hole. Not generic advice. Advice calibrated to your game.
The model simulates hundreds of shots with each club you carry, scatters them according to your skill level, and checks every landing spot against the course. The club and target with the lowest expected score wins.
The course should be a place for quiet focus.
Golf is one of the last places you can truly disconnect. Four hours outdoors, no screens, no notifications. We don't want to ruin that.
Your caddie does its work before your round, not during it. Study the course at home. Build your strategy the night before. Print the PDF, pocket it, leave the phone in the cart. Walk to the first tee knowing the play on every hole.
