Pocket Golf Tournament

Pocket Golf is a club-and-dice golf game for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Pick a club, set your power, shape the shot, and read one skill die off a shuffled, colour-coded bar to finish every hole under par.

Version 2.0 is a ground-up native rewrite, and it now plays on Mac. Six courses plus a tutorial, a new hole every day, a handicap of your own, and live head-to-head golf. No ads, no in-app purchases, and nothing ever locked.

THE SHOT
• Six clubs, Driver through Putter. You choose the power, anywhere from 20% to 100%, so laying up short of the water is a decision, not a lucky roll.
• One skill die, 1 to 10, is dealt fresh on a shuffled, colour-coded bar every shot: green for a flush strike, red for a duff. Read it each time.
• Pull back and let go to aim and set the power together, or work the aim ruler and power slider by hand.
• Call for a draw or a fade to bend the ball round the trees. The ground you land on decides the run-out: a fairway runs the ball on, rough and sand hold it up.
• The camera opens on the whole hole, closes in as the gap does, and pulls right down onto the green for your putt.

SIX COURSES, TWO OF THEM NEW
• Beginner's Links, Rocky Hills, Sand Dunes and Water Worlds, plus two new nine-hole courses built for the new engine: Windy Hills, played in wind over real hills lit so you can read them from the tee, and Foxwood Highlands, with lakes to carry, cliffs and two long par 5s in a light breeze. Both have greens that break and two or three pin positions, so the cup moves between rounds.
• Import your own .pocketgolf courses, or build one in the web editor at pocketgolf.app.

HOLE OF THE DAY
• One hole, the same for everyone, changing at midnight UTC. It is scored on points — two for a day under par, one for level — so a bad day costs you nothing and turning up is what counts. Keep a streak, climb the leaderboard.
• On an iPhone you can play it straight from a pocketgolf.app/daily link with an App Clip: the real game, same shot engine, same board, …
