How it works
Hey Caddy is a voice-first golf companion. You talk, it tracks. Score, bets, stats, GPS, weather, club calls — all from a tap on the mic or the wake word. This guide walks you through the three real shapes of play, the bet engine, and the boring-but-important stuff (settling, stats, watch, troubleshooting).
30-second quickstart
- Open the app, sign up with email + handicap. (Or open the web app if you’re on Android.)
- Settings → Club distances. Enter your bag once. The AI caddy uses these to call clubs.
- Tap New round → search for your course → pick your tee box → add yourself (and friends, if you’re scoring for the group).
- You land on Glance — current hole, yardage to pin, conditions, caddy advice, scorecard. Bottom bar: Tap to talk, Scorecard, Bets.
- Score with voice (“Got a par on 1, two putts.”) or tap a chip on the scorecard. Glance auto-advances when your hole is done.
The default landing screen on a live round is Glanceby design — everything you need on one page, nothing you don’t. Tap into Scorecard / Bets / Tournaments only when you want detail.
What kind of round are you playing?
Just you and the bag
Walk the course alone with AirPods in. Voice does everything — score, junk claims, post-round recap.

Apple Watch glance
Three pages: glance, quick-score grid, standings. Phone is the source of truth; watch is a fast input.
Bet on your friends
Kalshi-style head-to-head contracts on friends’ live rounds. Cash out, peer-to-peer Venmo settlement.
When things misbehave
Auth, GPS permissions, voice not hearing you, the score didn’t save — fix paths and a kill-switch.
