About

Your watch picks the distance. You chip, putt it out, enter your score. 9 holes. 15 minutes. Real practice. Two modes: • Up + Down — Chips and putts from 5-60 feet (1.5-18m) • Pitch Perfect — Approach shots from 40-270 feet (12-82m) One ball per hole. No mulligans. Like the course. $4.99. One time. No Ads. No subscription. No tracking. My short game practice was aimless. "Practice" was hitting ball after ball from the same spot until I got bored. No structure, no pressure, no point. Sound familiar? So I built Up + Down Golf. One ball. Real pressure. Real practice. Done. Why it works: Structure - Every session is 9 holes. You're playing, not aimlessly hitting balls. Real scenarios - Random distances. Different shots. Like you'll face on Saturday. Accountability - Practice streaks reset if you skip 3+ days. Consistency wins. Adaptive - Struggle with a shot? You'll see it more. Simple - Pace distance with your feet, count strokes with your fingers, use one actual ball. Like golf. Full guide and documentation: upanddowngame.com
