## What MyCaddie does

- Captures quick hole-by-hole notes and keeps every inferred value editable before confirmation.
- Turns confirmed rounds into deterministic debriefs and useful patterns for the next round.
- Keeps bag, golfer settings, drafts, and the private publishing key in browser storage.
- Publishes confirmed round journals for read-only browsing by golfer, course, round, hole, and recorded shot.
- Builds a clear loft ladder, flags large gaps and overlaps, and suggests categories for open slots.
- Provides source-labeled research panels for a starter set of public golf courses.

The recommendation path is deterministic, rule-based TypeScript. The same inputs produce the same output. It is not a language-model-generated club fitting, GPS guarantee, score promise, or substitute for current course conditions and a golfer's own judgment.

## How bag gapping works

Bag Builder sorts the club lofts a golfer enters, treats clubs within one degree as a loft overlap, and highlights large wedge or top-end gaps. Loft gapping is a starting proxy. A golfer should validate real carry distances on a range or launch monitor before changing a bag.

## How course data is handled

The West Seattle package comes from a dated, checked-in OpenStreetMap snapshot with source element ids, version history, attribution, and license metadata. It remains review-required: tee choice, exact pin and green points, hazards, carry distances, scorecard yardages, and local rules need course-owner, field, or other trusted validation before launch-grade use. MyCaddie does not trace or republish proprietary competitor maps.

## How MyCaddie differs

Current MyCaddie centers golfer-confirmed notes, editable round facts, and deterministic summaries. It is not automatic shot tracking or AI golf chat. Bag analysis does not require club sensors. Course panels clearly separate source research, sample geometry, and launch-ready facts.

## How to use MyCaddie

- Open the canonical app to use the free Bag Builder or Quick Log.
- Confirm inferred round details before saving them.
- Choose whether a signed-in journal is public or private; public sharing is opt-in.

## Current course research

The source-labeled starter catalog covers:

- West Seattle Golf Course
- Bill Wright Golf Complex at Jefferson Park
- Maplewood Golf Course
- Foster Golf Links
- Riverbend Golf Complex

Research readiness is shown separately from launch-ready hole strategy. Course-prep panels are planning aids; they do not guarantee GPS accuracy or shot outcomes.

- Public name: MyCaddie. Bag Builder is the free acquisition tool inside MyCaddie.
- Category: golf memory and round journal with deterministic bag analysis.
- Current price: free to use.
- Hardware: no club sensors are required for bag analysis.
- Account: golfers use passwordless email or phone accounts; public journals remain readable without signing in.
- Decision path: deterministic rules, not an LLM in the recommendation path.
