How It Works

A walkthrough of BogeyHunter — The Tracker

1. Start a Round

From Rounds, choose New round and pick your course. Then set up your group:

• You — the primary player, whose stats drive your dashboard.
• Up to 3 partners — add playing partners by name. Each one becomes a friend in The Tracker.
• Tees for each player — everyone in the group can play their own tees.

2. Enter Your Scores

The scorecard walks hole by hole, showing par and your score to par. Enter strokes and putts for each player. For yourself, tap in the rest of the stat line: fairway hit or missed left or right, green in regulation, up and down, sand save, penalties, and club off the tee. Every tap saves on its own. Finish the round to add it to your history.

3. Watch Your Numbers Trend

The Dashboard rolls your finished rounds into:

• Rounds played, average score, and putts per round
• GIR percentage, fairway accuracy with left/right misses, scrambling, and sand saves
• Putts per GIR and penalties per round
• Tee-shot results by club — fairways hit and average score to par
• Rolling 5-round averages for score and putts, charted over time

Every stat is computed with plain math from the scores you entered. The Courses page adds your history at each course: rounds played, average, best, and worst.

4. Get an Insight

Tap Generate insight on the dashboard and the built-in AI writes a short summary of how your game is trending. The AI runs right on your computer’s processor and works from the stats on your dashboard.

5. Friends and Head-to-Head

Open Friends to see everyone you’ve played with. For each friend:

• Average score and their last five rounds
• Scoring trend over time
• Head-to-head record against you — your wins, their wins, and ties

Friend stats are your own record of the people you play with, kept on your computer like a scorecard in your bag.

6. Find Courses That Fit

Open Courses for a ranked Recommended for you list. Each course gets a fit score based on its difficulty, your handicap, and how your recent rounds there went.

7. Tee Time Hunter (Beta)

Open Tee times, set your area, and pick the courses you play.

• Courses with live availability show their open tee times for the date you choose, with price and open spots. Tap Book to go straight to that tee time on the course’s own site.
• Every other course shows Book directly, which opens its own booking page.

The Hunter checks one course at a time at a polite pace and honors each booking site’s robots.txt. You always complete the booking yourself.

8. Your Data

Rounds, stats, and friend records live in an encrypted database on your computer. Scoring, the dashboard, and AI insights all work offline. From Settings → Your data:

• Export every round and scorecard as JSON or CSV, saved wherever you choose.
• Delete all of your rounds, friends, and course setups in one step. Individual rounds and friends can be deleted from their own pages.

Pair Your iPhone

Open the iPhone companion, tap Pair with Mac/PC, and scan the QR code on your desktop. From then on, rounds sync between the two over your home Wi-Fi — signed and verified, and kept on your own network. The iPhone works on its own too, so you can score on the course and sync when you get home.

Score on the Course, or Snap the Paper Card

The iPhone scorecard is built for quick entry mid-round: your full stat line — fairways with miss direction, greens in regulation, sand saves, up-and-downs, and club off the tee — plus strokes and putts for your partners. Played on a paper card? Snap a photo and Apple’s on-device text recognition pre-fills the scorecard for you to review.

Tee Time Hunter on Your iPhone

New openings from the desktop’s Hunter will show as a Live Activity on your iPhone’s lock screen. Tap through to the course’s booking site to book it yourself.
