Disc golf that knows your throws.

Score on your iPhone. Wear an Apple Watch and it feels every throw and puts it on the hole, no phone out. Then the round as it really went, what to practise, and your friends on the map.

Behind this, hole 1 at Peninsula Park from above: the real trees from the air, the line off the red tee with the drive the Watch heard marked on it, and 77 feet left to the basket.

5:12 PM

Private, until you share.

Your map starts private. Share it with friends and you see who’s out: Priya’s on 14 at Sugar Bottom, and Wes and Dani are free tonight. Or open it to your disc golf community and find a card wherever you are.

Friends, on the Rounds tab: Right now, Priya, Theo, Kofi, Maya and Jonah on a course with a Live button each, then Wes, Sam, Dani and Tasha open to play, each with Ask.
5:40 PM

Dani tees first.

The hole comes up in 3D, trees and all. PDGA numbers on the card, and on every tee, who throws when: lowest number first, then honors. Wes puts $2 a skin on it, ties carry. Everyone scores the same card from their own phone.

5:46 PM

Which way to 2?

Holed out, the hole turns to the next tee: which way and how far, with the walk drawn on the map. Save, and the map walks you there and flies the next hole. A course you’ve never played, and nobody wanders off looking for the pad.

6:31 PM

Four skins ride into 7.

Three ties in a row carry four skins to the par-five seventh, $16 to win. Wes birdies it. The card says so before anyone has to.

Hole 7, a par 5: Wes takes 4 skins with a 4, you and Dani with 5s.
7:48 PM

A rating before the car.

Six under on a par 60: a 993 round, your best at Peninsula. Your Blackbird rating moves up to 951 the moment you finish, and settles in a week.

7:49 PM

Got all your discs?

A nudge to count your bag before you leave. Lost one? It goes on the course’s lost list, so whoever finds it can get it back to you.

Before you go: Got all your discs? Count your bag before you leave Peninsula, with I lost one and All here.
7:50 PM

Settle up.

Skins hole by hole, split where the last one tied, and who owes whom. Blackbird keeps the count. The money stays between you.

The round summary's skins: you on holes 2, 3, 10, 12, 17 and 18; Dani owes you $10 and Wes owes you $10.
Apple Watch · New: Blackbird Auto

On your wrist, it keeps the shots.

Your Watch feels each throw, buzzes, and puts the spot on your round. The next throw says where the last one landed. Everything else is there too: how far to the basket, the disc for it, and the card, scored with the crown.

Apple Watch Ultra on hole 7, par 5, from the long tee: 212 feet to the basket, a Teebird thrown hyzer at 80%, and Auto, one throw heard.
