A note from Toothpick

Created after noticing how often beginners are expected to just know things no one explains.

Golf has a long list of unwritten rules that shape how the game is played, especially on public courses. Most are simple, but they are rarely compiled into a single place in a way that feels easy to learn. This app brings those expectations together into short, practical lessons, organized by where you are on the course and designed to be read quickly between shots.

What's inside

Sorted by where you stand.

Four chapters follow a round of golf from arrival to finish. Each lesson is placed where it occurs on the course.

Tagged etiquette.

Lessons are tagged so you can see whether it's an old club tradition, a modern courtesy, or an actual rule.

A glossary at the back.

A simple reference of common golf terms, explained clearly so you can understand them as you play.

A myriad of manners.

Over eighty lessons, each with a helpful illustration. Save the ones worth a second look.

No tracking or nudges.

Nothing to sign up for. Nothing tracked. Nothing buzzing in your pocket while you're putting.

Made by one person.

It means every reply to feedback comes from the same hands that wrote the lessons.
