You want to break 100.
One or two holes wreck the card every time.
A target on every hole tells you which ones you can afford.
Everybody has a number. Almost nobody has a plan.
A 508-yard par 5, the hardest hole on the card. Played two ways.
Without a plan
Driver, because it's a par 5.
Into the trees. Try the hero shot out of them. Spend the next three holes chasing it — and make it worse.
Made 8 · round gone
With a plan
Your number here is 6.
The hardest hole is where you're allowed to give one back. Take your 6 and walk — the rest of your card is still at target.

Your plan
Eighteen targets, not one.
You pick 89. Every hole gets the number that adds up to it — bogey where the course is hard, par where it isn't.

Total89
1Your number
89 at a par-72 course. You chose it; nothing here was decided for you.
2A target on every hole
Six on the hardest par 5, three on the short par 3. The number you are playing to, hole by hole.
3Three-hole chapters
Smaller goals inside the round, so one bad hole is a chapter to recover rather than the whole card.
4Front, back and total
The nine you are standing on, the one to come, and the number they add up to.
When it goes wrong
Blow up on 3? The plan rebuilds itself.
Most plans die on the first bad hole. This one redistributes what is left across the holes still to come, so the number stays real — and when it genuinely is not, it says so instead of pretending.
That number is out of reach
14 holes left. Played to the plan they now add up to 91.
Front nine · Through 4+2 on plan
Two shots went on hole 3. The holes still to come carry tighter numbers now — the round did not end, it changed shape.

Questions.
Do I need a handicap?
No. You pick the score you want to shoot and the plan works from that. Nothing is calculated off a handicap you have to look up first.
Is my course in there?
Any course is. You type in the card yourself — pars, yardages and stroke index — and it's there waiting the next time you open the app.
Does it track me with GPS?
No. There's no location tracking and nothing follows you around the course. Everything stays on your phone.
What does it cost?
Nothing while we're in beta. There's no account to make and nothing to cancel.
What if I blow up early?
The plan rebuilds itself. The strokes get redistributed across the holes you have left, and if your number is genuinely out of reach it tells you so instead of pretending.
Does it work on Android?
ShootFor is an iPhone app. There is no Android version.
Can I use it in a tournament?
That depends on your committee's rules about devices. Check with them before you rely on it in competition.
Pick a number. We'll turn it into eighteen.
