Problem
Golfers often lack real-time, expert course‑management guidance during a round, relying on generic information that doesn’t account for their skill level, lie, wind, or hazards. This gap leads to suboptimal shot choices, higher scores, and slower improvement.
Solution
SwingWise delivers an AI‑powered virtual caddie, named Connor, that generates optimized shot strategies from tee to green for each individual player. The system continuously analyzes the course layout, environmental conditions, and the golfer’s current position to recommend aim points, club selection, and risk‑vs‑reward assessments. Recommendations are tailored to the user’s handicap and confidence level, helping them avoid hazards and make smarter decisions without altering their swing. Users can access the AI caddie in real‑time during play (Caddie Play mode) or use a Yardage Book mode to pre‑plan a complete round strategy. The platform presents concise, actionable advice on a mobile device, enabling golfers to execute the suggested plan immediately on the course.
