Problem
On-course information has to be useful at a glance. Players need course context and shot tracking without the interface becoming another distraction during a round.
Solution
I designed the mobile UI and branding in Figma, then built a progressive web app that combines GPS yardages, hole layouts, shot tracking, and club recommendations, backed by a serverless AWS API.

Decisions
- Design for the course, not the desk
- The product is mobile-first because it is meant to be used during a round. Core information is organized around immediate golf decisions rather than a dense desktop-style dashboard.
- Design before code
- I worked from planning and mood boards through mid and high-fidelity Figma designs, including the logo, before building the interface in React.
- Combine context and tracking
- GPS yardages and map context help with the next shot, while round and shot tracking build a useful record of what happened across the course.
