Getting Started with GoCaddie: Complete Setup and First Round Guide

GoCaddie is designed to be useful from your very first hole. There's no long setup process, no extensive profiling, and no learning curve that takes rounds to overcome. Here's how to get started and what to expect in your first round.

Setup: What You Need

• An Apple Watch (Series 4 or later recommended)
• The GoCaddie app installed on your iPhone
• A couple of minutes to enter your club distances
• Your first tee box — that's it

Your First Round: What to Expect

Before each shot, simply ask GoCaddie what you should do. Give it the context — your position, the conditions, what you're thinking — and it responds with a clear, caddie-style recommendation. Club, target, and the rationale. No menus to navigate. No stats to interpret. Just the call.

“The best caddie is one you forget is there — because everything just feels clearer. That's what we built.”

Getting the Most Value

• Enter your real club distances, not aspirational ones — this is what GoCaddie uses to select clubs
• Use GoCaddie on every shot, not just the hard ones — building the habit is half the value
• After your round, reflect on the decisions that helped and those you overrode — the caddie learns from the pattern
• Trust the conservative call — GoCaddie will often suggest the safer play, and it's usually right

From Day One to Better Golf

GoCaddie doesn't need months to improve your game. The first round often produces lower scores simply because you stop making the decisions that cost you the most — hero shots, wrong targets, uncommitted swings. Tour caddies have always known that good decisions beat good swings. Now, so can you.
