Know the shot
before you hit it.

A yardage book for iPhone and Apple Watch. It gives you the distance from where you’re standing and the club for it, from your own bag and the day’s wind. Plan the round at home, and the plan is in the book on the first tee.

Mid-round on the first at The Metropolitan: you on the fairway, 148 metres to the centre of the green, and the caddie's note open, suggesting a 6 iron

On every shot

148 centre

Know the number

Front, centre and back of the green from where you stand, and how far to reach and to carry every hazard on the way.

6 Iron · 149 m carry

Know the club

The caddie picks it from the distances you hit your own clubs, the wind that hour and the lie of the green.

Know the plan

Mark where each shot should finish before you leave home. It’s written in your book when you reach the tee.

The yardage book

A page for every hole

Drawn like the books the pros carry, with a page for the green behind each hole. You can tell at a glance who’s speaking.

Ink is the book’s. Type is the caddie’s advice. Red is what you write in.

  • Each hazard has two numbers: how far to reach it and how far to carry it.
  • Markers sit at the bunkers and corners that matter, and you can move them.
  • On greens with open LiDAR, an arrow every 2 metres shows the slope.

The course planner

Plan the round the night before

Open a course and mark where each shot should finish, and the app gives you the club that gets it there. Plan on your phone or at numberandline.com, and the plan is in your book on the first tee.

  • In general: still air, no weather.
  • For a day in the coming week: with that day’s forecast wind and weather.

The caddie

Advice from your own clubs

The caddie plans each shot from the carry and total you enter for every club. It allows for the wind, reads the green wherever we have its slopes, and tells you where the trouble is.

Hole 1 · par 4 · from the fairway

Next shot: 6 Iron · 149 m carry

Bunker from 66, 83 to carry. 148 to the middle: your 6 iron. Green falls back to front overall: long is the hard miss. The bunkers on the left from 99 to 119.

Your bag: carry and total for every club

Your bag

Carry and total

Enter both for every club. Shots over trouble are planned on carry, lay-ups on total.

The landing zone: the ball bouncing on the green, its tracer behind it

The flight

See it land before you swing

The shot view flies the ball in the day’s wind, with a tracer, to where your club carries. Where we have the green’s slopes, the caddie picks a landing spot the ball will run out from and stop.

The green

Slope arrows every 2 metres

Measured from open 1 m LiDAR, in the countries and states that publish it. The caddie uses them to work out how the ball runs.

The wind

The club for today’s wind

The same 143 metres takes a different club with the wind behind or against. The caddie works it out from that hour’s forecast along the line of the shot, and mentions gusts in its note.

In tournament mode you see distances only. The note, the heights and the club advice the Rules don’t allow stay hidden.

On the course

Distances from you, on phone and watch

The book measures from you and turns to the next hole as you walk onto its tee. The Apple Watch shows the hole at a glance, and carries on with the phone in the bag.

  • Front, middle and back of the green, readable at arm’s length in sunlight.
  • The club for your next shot, and the wind across it.
  • Shot tracking: the watch notices each swing and asks which club you hit.
  • Mark where the pin is, and the players behind you see it.
