The BEST GOLF APP For Phone and Smart Watch!
could this be the best app for your smartwatch and iPhone hello Brett how are you
i’m all right are you
i’m all right thank you brett you’ve been using this for ages now and we’ve even got a little Apple watch to use it on so we’ve got the 18 Birdies app you’ve been using it on the phone for your stats and everything else but just using the watch now it’s been quite interesting hasn’t it because a lot of advancements that can really really help
it changes it a little bit it makes it a little bit quicker yeah so I think that’s like massive that we can now rather than opening the phone and locking the phone entering your score we can just do it on here you get your front middle and back measurements all the time
uh you can track your shot on it which is really good before you were getting your phone out your pocket and stuff so it just makes it a little bit quicker really
but then if ever you do want to kind of jump on the app you can do that as well so you can have the full map of the course you can do everything you can put your stats in you can then get your stats app but today we’re in Turkey we’re at Cello curello can never pronounce it but the pines cost it’s fantastic we have a scramble on the last few holes see how we can do we’re also going to talk about boss mode because boss mode is a new mode on the 18 birdies that that’s just come out have you seen it
i have it’s awesome
so you can actually hide it say if your wife played or even your boss plays yeah you can hide everything y fantastic um I’ll let you go first what have we got i’ve got a sixiron 177 to the middle flag looks quite central so we’re hoping wind off right
we want to hit under par we do want under par don’t we we’ve played well all morning perfect
good start Brett
yeah wonderful that’s a great start
great start that’s how we usually start is it slow that’s um
I’m glad we’re playing scramble and not a match
that’s got to hurt in front of two generations of Cooper in the boogie
yeah they they both laughed a little bit
right pressure’s on gorgeous if it’s the number it should be good i think it is
we look good we look good we’ve got a chance
we’ve got a I’m just looking here because So map view on the watch is coming i don’t know where to put that
it’s going to be a bit of a game chang
yeah it could be absolutely fantastic couldn’t it so you can put your score in you can do everything with it and I honestly think potentially you’ve got your ball by the way
yes
this potentially I’ve said it again potentially
i never noticed you said that that until now but I don’t think I say it in the real world as I say in videos but I do feel like this could be the best app for your phone because not only you getting the GPS you’re getting the smart tracker so like this is how we know how much you’ve improved with golfer not because your handicaps come down but because of all the stats because we can actually look at where you were struggling so we knew
I think in periods as well when there’s been certain aspects that are struggling it stands out with the stats yeah
and then it’s been something we’ve worked on closer rather than something else that’s maybe not affecting score as much
yeah definitely so for people that don’t know Brett’s handicap’s come down from 14 to six which is a phenomenal drop and I almost think it’s dropped too soon like I almost think potentially you’re not used to that new handicap level yet so you do still throw in a couple of bad scores but that just shows you to keep practicing keep working hard keep using the stats
and going with it right
come on go on
oh you know I thought I’d hit that plenty greens are slow uphill aren’t they
yeah a little bit slow
so I think I had the good line there
yeah you think we know Bobby by the way tell where Bobby is
bobb’s at home actually this time we’re on holiday
he’s dogg sitting isn’t he
yeah he’s dogsitting yeah
he’s not enjoying it either apparently
he’s dog sitting or can’t say that
can’t say that come on i dare say we’ve got the par
your your ball yeah
yeah that’s soft as well
yeah I’ve left it at yours
that’s soft as one thing an app can’t help you with
no
pace of greens come on
come on then we’ll take it out there’s a three amongst us here no danger well done
we don’t miss them we don’t miss them ones that’s three that’s par
right Brett that’s a par on the opening hole um so this boss mode obviously it’s designed so you can kind of be a bit more subtle with it there’s actually a live feed isn’t there if you have a look on the website and on the app so you and your mates watch each other don’t you yeah we’ve made a bit of like a group if you like and on the on the on the app it notifies us when one of us is out playing or if a couple of them have gone out playing and you’re at work one at lads
so do they have to allow for the notification or does it just notify you when they’re playing when they log into the app
it’s when you actually put your round on so when I’ve set a round up I can hide it
so the guys will know that we’re playing in circuit so every time I put that score in they get a little little notification with a sound of a ball hitting the bottom of the hole that we’ve put inputed a score and it flashes up what we’ve scored on that hole which
So they’ll know we’ve only made a pass
yeah jordy got in trouble at work one day for having his phone did he
yeah that’s why Bosmo’s coming in then
jordy that’s naughty that right come on two fairly difficult holes to finish on but I’ll tell you what what a golf course this has been really really enjoyed it here
very scenic
bell very scenic with the pines
and orange shorts do you like my orange shots
yeah they’re
right 17th hole what we saying very straight
let’s see in the shadows it’s a bit dark isn’t it
right what do we have
nice straight hole big bunker down the left it’s already clubbing me sort of what to use cuz you’ve used this for quite some time now
i have yeah so it’s sort of saying threewood we could squeeze driver
um I think basically it’s sort of telling us this tree here you can’t see cuz of the line it’s trying to lay us back far enough so we can then clear that tree rather than hitting driver and going up which is quite clever
do you want to Yeah do you want to play back and then I’ll just hit driver and see if we can do it proper teamwork i’m going to hit I brought me three wood this week i brought the mini driver so I’m going the mini driver right let’s do that i’m going to smash driver as hard as I can
so Brett you actually got the um Apple Watch just for this app didn’t you you’ve not played in a How do you find Cuz obviously that’s the big one as well isn’t it so it’s more visible
i tried it on both hands a little bit and tried where kind of
Do you wear a watch every day or
Yes
yeah but I never played in a watch until I got this and um I never had the older ones when they came out the GPS watches but
I wear the Apple Watch now most days and it’s I think because it’s there as a natural it’s there’s no issue to it but I do really like it i think it makes it a little bit quicker than in drain the battery at all
no battery is good on it doesn’t really feel like it ever kills your battery so yeah right
very good let’s hope it doesn’t kill this t-shirt i was just going to say if got if my golf could be as good as the app we’d be all right right that’s about where we wanted it isn’t it right side
yeah it said straight down at it didn’t it it
might be blocked out but we just blocked out a little bit
i’ll have a go
a little bit high flight
funny actually cuz if you go to the left side of the tree that tree is in the way isn’t it i’m going to go that side if you want to i’m going to move bird here par the last we can be aggressive now we just don’t want that left one that is what we needed
great shot
what about a left one
that’s why I said I were getting it out your head
have you ever seen I’ve never seen a left one
oh you’ve never seen a left one right that’s all right
how’s little Brett yeah oh he’s here look
mini Brett
easy mini Brett
just fell over that didn’t he
just forgot that stump three generations let’s see if one of them can tear it up yeah good lad
good shot Joseph right so Brett has actually done what we wanted it to do hasn’t it so it’s in the fairway it’s far enough back from this tree how far has it set in the watch that you’ve got
so we’ve got Oh let me just change setting i’m on camera duty and everything here
so we’ve got 276 to the middle which is what it said back there said two three woods didn’t it yeah and we didn’t hit mini driver to be going for it cuz you wouldn’t go for it would you i think mine’s about
We have laid back we’ve got a shot haven’t we but I think with your monster that you’ve just hit
yeah big enough isn’t it right what do we have
have a look we’ve got 205 to the middle 219 220 to the back 192 to the front and I’ve just had a message from James sound do you find that that’s a bit Would you put it on like
Yeah I think you can put You can turn them notifications off but it doesn’t uh really bother me
we’re going in with any
again it works for me that though because a lot of time I’m I’m doing what I’m doing with work and I can just quickly have a little check what’s going
like six businesses so if anyone needs a suntan or something um but also it’s autoshot detection so when you strike it it
counts them but then it counts it on the GPS which is frightening then anyway
and when you go to enter your score then it just gets you to confirm that it’s right
yeah it’s no good for us in this format but no just a draw a draw four i’d reckon that’s too much
what you got four
yeah i think it’s a little bit the middle
212 from me 212 so two 207 from you come on front right
front right
didn’t strike it that well wasn’t very committed but
No it a full four
full four yeah you got four
i’ve got four as well yeah oh yeah
i like that
oh be the club come on be the club a
yes there we go
what a great shot there we go he tops the first one
still going
still there
she stayed on
yeah it’s a great shot oh
yes
well done
love it
and I must say I do feel like stuff like that is only as good as if you know your distances like if you know it’s got the AI caddy in there isn’t it so it can kind of tell you
it is sort of saying players like a three would oh I’ve just caught it but to be honest we did take the four iron out of the bag when the handicap was higher yeah
and I’ve kind of left it a little
you’ve not got three in the bag
i’ve not got threewood in because I ate me for four iron a little so you should be updating that really shouldn’t you
should do yeah
i’ve done a uh Alex etches on that one
no you’ve charged it
i’ve charged it and got it going right so that is an eagle put all be a long eagle put but an eagle put nevertheless on this final hole and also we’ve got the kind of the map green of the green of the map map of the green aren’t we as well
so like if you’re thinking
use that now aren’t we oh he’s going to eat us look Joseph there we go
oh he’s waving
but so if you are thinking about potentially where you want to leave yourself on the green if you are that good and you’re thinking of a portion of the green rather than just a green the AI map mode or the kind of green reading mode is fantastic for that as well right so great shot in there we have this for an eagle he’s got a good chance
i knew we’d take one of your shots eventually eventually just took me a bit of time to get loose right
how much would you put your handicap reduction down to obviously I know you’ve done the big PXG stuff and the fitting and lessons and how much would you put it down to knowing the stats though
massively i think I think it’s changed the way that you I’ve thought about each hole and and along with what what you’ve taught me to think about but
the way that like we showed you on that hole not necessarily hitting driver because it’s a par five let’s go back where it’s safe where you can then hit a shot in
and then your mate smash one down there will use that anyway but we wouldn’t have done that in a scramble i would have had a shot
yeah exactly
so it is the right thing to do and it has helped it has helped especially when you go to course like this you’ve not seen it before
we’ve played in view is an absolute winner when you’ve not seen a course before as well but for me as well I I don’t coach that often anymore but I do coach Brett for the series that we’ve been running and for me being able to know the stats behind how he plays and why he has the horror scores he has but also why he has the good scores he has makes me know that we don’t only need to make the weaknesses strengths but keep the strengths of strengths which is a very important thing in any sport when you’re coaching as with under nines football
all right get at him
come on let’s have this in
what do we reckon hold this and I’ll buy you a beer it’s got to go right to left ain’t it yeah
i’ve not got one to the hole all day
no downhill this one though it went left to right james that didn’t move so you must have pushed yours
you think
yeah but it’s a bird we’re under par and we have the 18th hole to come
right i reckon we’re too under
right show us this final hole what we got
looks like a tough hole doesn’t it a lot of water left
bunkers are in an awful position aren’t they
bunkers are in perfect position then we’ve got water up and around the green
why is it carry the bunkers
oh sorry
275
it’s driver
i think it’s driver is it
unless you want to lay up of them we do the same again bad cop good cop
let’s do it
let’s do that
let’s do it now
let’s do it now we haven’t said that for a long time
no oh he’s just going past working hard come on straight down that fairway at that little gazebo with a bit of fade
is that what you think
i think so cuz then you’re in play you can see where those bunkers are those bunkers are literally just
there so I’m going to try and play a bit of a fade round the corner maybe even over the corner
so you want me at the at the hut where a bit
just right at the hut is perfect
just right at the hut is good i’m going to say that’s perfect
i think it’s good
yeah i was airing on the side of caution saying right at the hook but I think that’s
I think that’s dangerous as long as it’s not in one of them two bunkers that we said
i think it’s in middle of them
i think it was high enough and spinny enough to be short of him what
there was a negative there from him isn’t there
just a So it’s not mate it’s It’s just called being real
come on then i see a bad cop oh she’s a monster
that’s frightening yeah that’s a monster we love it and I think that puts to bed you saying this goes left i’m still not convinced
i don’t give a what you’re convinced about
so these bunkers 250
this is That is perfect isn’t it um do you reckon I might be too far
i don’t know let’s have a little walk you’ve cleared these definitely i’ll I’ll drive could it be in the left hand one maybe i don’t know if I’ve maybe just hit it a bit too yeah it is it’s in the bunker is it really
yeah so that shows that the game plans work doesn’t it pitched in it as well
yeah cuz stood off te thinking that’s
in fact though it’s a good job cuz we never even looked at the big lake after them
well I did i did say there were water up there as well sorry a tough all a lot of water left
bunkers are in an awful position aren’t they bunkers are in perfect position then we’ve got water up and around the green you just didn’t listen as normal so uh you take your mine nothing will hit this james didn’t consider water just come back
dad look a bit of fairway look
right what’s she saying what’s she telling us
let’s just get in line 154 to the middle 163 to the back and 146
plays like eight iron it says
plays like eight iron
and you’re 200 that’s I mean that’s good as well so if you have a look it tells you how far away you are from your last shot so like if you want to know how far your drive’s gone it’s cute isn’t it that your mid driver’s gone 223 yeah right what we got stuck a bit off it what do you reckon eight iron
or seven
i think it’s seven for you
do you what do you think it is really
a seven
right i’ll eat seven then
why would you think it is
what is it one
154 at middle
yeah where’s not a seven iron that is it seven iron is in hotel what are you hitting well if you’re in if you’re in an eight I need a nine
you hit nine then if that’s how you want to be
james’ clubs I’d probably have to go
but if you hit nine you better hope to God you flag eye cuz otherwise you’re getting it i think it’s a nine
all right eight nine then he’s absolutely gone after that one as well
i’ve left it right i think distance is good i’ve just
It wants to be the way you’ve just hit that left it miles right isn’t it amazing how the app tells you it plays like eight iron but you’re still at nine iron shall I go middle of the green then cuz you’ve missed it right on you
yeah let’s uh let’s save par great shot sit it looks big now
oh no flag eye mate don’t worry
perfect perfect well done sir what did you hit
eight just for anyone wondering Brett is short right he’s gone after a nine iron absolutely pummeled it with his Sunday best and he’s still short of the level of where the green is
he’s not
100% sure oh it’s short for context of video it’s short cuz it was telling me an eight iron for the There’s no context of the video it is short how’s he the green the flag’s there and you’re here
right so were you saying if we went straight across we’re walking at that rubber dingy well it’s not cuz there’s green there you hit front edge
all right you’re going for front edge where you
Yeah I’m just playing front edge nice and safe
oh look where that’s pitched there
flag eye flag eye mate come on we’re team
we are no I’m just trying to help you with listen to what the the
the app says you know this is what the device is telling you
you’re right cuz this is where so many golfers will make that mistake of it was never a n iron it was an 8 iron
yeah you’re right are we leaving it in
uh yeah we’ve got an outside chance at this aren’t we
yeah she’s a little longer but I’m just going to go firm left edge
all right oh it’s just at it
is it at it
at it yeah amazing though how the kind of plotting our way around the golf course makes more sense than cuz I thought I’d hit like a really really good drive there i didn’t want it back at all
but it goes to show we’re probably not hitting it this close from where my drive finished out the bunker are we
no and I think that’s one of the less big lessons I’ve learned from using the app and that’s why we’re trying to say is just sometimes you’ve got to think about it a little bit different you stand up and look at a hole and think you can smash driver it and if you actually follow what it’s saying I’ve scored better
and that’s the difference between being like an 11 handicap and a six handicap isn’t it
definitely definitely it’s all fine margins now go in go in go in
oh it’s gone
i ate it straight at it as well well Brett we’ve managed under par i think we could have done better there to be honest
i think we probably could actually i think we wasted one on par three for sure didn’t we
but go on I’ll let you finish off
you let me finish you’ll not miss that you never miss one of them have you
no not today anyway fantastic guys if you’ve enjoyed that smash that subscribe button below if you want to check out the 18 birdies app I will link it in the description below but for me certainly one of the best if not the best app for your iPhone and your eyewatch and it’s only getting better with some of the updates so as soon as they come we’ll do some more content on it
thank you very much thank you
nice to see you
you going to say something then go on
i was just going to say I agree with you i think people need to have a look at it

I beg the differ. I love my Pinned Caddie. It's awesome😮😊😮😊
I would agree if you ride in a cart. If you are walking the Garmin S70 with the CT10 sensors is absolutely the best. I have tried everything. Walking you don't have time to mess around with your phone. Garmin's phone app needs some work but their watches are unreal!
Any watch involving a phone is a money scheme and grab plus all this app connection stuff is getting out of hand .put the app in the watch not the phone haha
Do these gadgets not detract from the pure pleasure of just hitting a golf ball and playing naturally 😮
Hovering the driver, nice.
Love 18birdies. The only thing I've got an issue with is the price. I'm fortune enough to be able to pay the yearly fee, but the weekly price is 3x the amount of a one of yearly payment. Even monthly it's 2x the amount.
Good except if have an andriod. BTW Android dominates the smartphone market with roughly 70% market share, while iOS (iPhones) accounts for around 30%. So if us Android users I think Shot Scope is the best.
You need to be using the app on strokes gained mode. Easier interface, better data
I have the Garmin S60 with 3 CT10 sensors on my driver, 52 and putter.
Too expensive for most casual players. Penalised heavily if you don’t pay for the full year. Shame as I am sure many more would use if they weren’t so greedy.
I use my Garmin Fenix 8 for golf and The Grint.
Great app
When walking I use an Izzo Swami (Model 6000). Relatively inexpensive, gives yardages to front/middle/back of green. BTW – seems like wearing a watch would be a nuisance while swinging the club (?), hence a glove is all I have on.
Disagree. Golf pad has all the same features, is cheaper(guaranteed same renewal price) and already has map view on any android watch(not an ios user so not sure about that)
I use 19 Hole on my I phone and Apple Watch. It will track my stats too if I put all the data in after each hole. When I finish a round they send an email with data. And reminder to post to your GHIN handicap.
I use something similar, Golf Pad. Ties to my watch, has stats, $30 a year. I really dig all the technology available.
Not sure about the sound quality on this one 👂
I am not commenting on the app (I use shot scope) I am commenting on the video EXCELLENT, a pro and a low handicap amateur. LEARN !!!!!!!!!
The free version is good enough imo. No need for the expensive premium subscription.
Full GPS yardages (and quick yardages to front, middle and back of green) and round scoring…
GolfPad is cheaper and is the one I settled on. Keeps my stats, plays as, and club suggestions on the watch. Not a fan of the tags system they use. I don’t keep a phone on me when i swing a club.
I’ve been using 18Birdies for this season. It’s free, and it’s all I’ve needed
I use golf pad and find it much better and cheaper than 18 birdies
Love watching the pro v improving amateur. Love a lot of the content but….. complaint is fear its becoming a channel of product adverts, pushing a sponsor seems to be becoming more important. Understand it is a commercial decision and we all need to pay our bills but spoiling it a bit for me, not that that matters of course.
great vid, when is the rematch with midhandycap Dave?
Using the Apple Watch Ultra on your left wrist with a glove it’s a pain, as the edge of the gloves hits the function button constantly, I need to fold the glove about to stop it doing it. Ah here’s an idea a glove that fits with the Apple Watch.
