Understanding Your golfity Dashboard
The golfity dashboard is a feed of your rounds, newest first. Here is how to read every card, from the stats row to the strokes gained chart, without opening a single round.
The golfity dashboard is the first thing you see when you open the app, and it does more than welcome you back. The home screen is a running feed of your rounds, newest at the top, designed so you can read the shape of a round without tapping into it. Learn what each piece means and the golfity dashboard becomes a thirty-second performance review every time you open the app.
What the golfity dashboard shows
At the top sits the golfity logo and, in the corner, a globe icon. Tap the globe and you jump to the social feed, where rounds from the golfers you follow appear. The rest of the home screen belongs to you: a scrollable stack of cards, one per round, with your latest round leading.
Pull down anywhere on the feed to refresh. New rounds, likes from friends, and any edits you made on a round sync in. If you have not logged anything yet, the screen shows a golf-course icon and a green Play button to start your first round, plus a link to see what other players are posting.
Reading a round card
Each card is a compact summary of one round, and it reads top to bottom.
The header carries your avatar, your name, and the date you played. A small lock icon appears when a round is private, which is a quick way to confirm a score is not visible to the people who follow you. Below that, the course name sits in bold, with any note you added to the round shown underneath in italics.
Next comes the stats row, the part most golfers check first. It shows up to four numbers, depending on what you tracked:
- Shots: your total for the round
- Putts: total putts, when you tracked them
- Fairways: percentage of fairways hit
- GIR: greens in regulation, as a percentage
A round tracked only by total score shows just the shot count. Add putts, fairways, and greens during entry and the row fills out. This is the fastest read on the home screen: a glance tells you whether your driving, putting, or approach play carried the day.
The mini scorecard
Rounds you logged hole by hole or shot by shot show a mini scorecard strip under the stats. Each hole is color-coded by result, so birdies, pars, bogeys, and blow-ups stand out as a pattern rather than a list of numbers. A run of red on the back nine tells its own story before you open anything.
The strokes gained chart
Shot-by-shot rounds get the part that sets golfity apart: a strokes gained chart right on the card. It splits your round into four categories built on Mark Broadie’s research:
- Off the tee: driving on par 4s and par 5s
- Approach: shots into the green, including par 3 tee shots
- Around the green: chips and pitches inside 30 yards
- Putting: everything on the green
Bars stretching right mean you gained strokes on your benchmark; bars to the left mean you lost them. The card also labels which benchmark you are measured against, whether that is PGA Tour or a handicap level like “10 hcp.” If you have not picked a benchmark yet, it is worth reading why comparing to a 10-handicap often beats comparing to a pro.

To get strokes gained on the card, you have to track a round shot by shot. Total-score and hole-by-hole rounds still show their scorecard and stats, just without the four-category breakdown.
Tapping in and what comes next
Every card is a door. Tap one and golfity opens the full round, where the hole-by-hole breakdown, shot list, and detailed strokes gained live. The heart at the bottom of each card lets you and your friends like a round, and the count next to it shows how many have.
The home screen is built for the quick check, not the deep dive. For trends across your whole history rather than a single round, the stats tab pulls everything together. To compare your strokes gained against friends or browse what the app tracks, the features page covers the rest. If you are still setting things up, the complete getting started guide walks you from download to your first tracked round.
Log a few rounds and the golfity dashboard turns into a feed worth scrolling: a clear, honest record of where your shots are going, available the moment you open the app.
