Welcome to Dog Shot Golf
Golf's obsessed with getting better. We're obsessed with celebrating the bad — together.
If you've ever three-putted in front of your mates and wished there was some way to make that moment count for something other than embarrassment — you're in the right place.
Dog Shot Golf is a scoring app for the round you actually play, not the one the pros play. Forget handicaps and swing analysis. This is about the shanks, the lost balls, the ball that somehow found the only tree on the entire fairway. We turn all of it into a game — the person who racks up the most howlers gets crowned The Muppet, the person who somehow survives it all becomes The Top Dog, and somebody's buying the first round at the 19th either way.
How It Works
Tap what happened, hole by hole. Off the tee, in the rough, around the green, or one of those genuinely brilliant moments (they happen occasionally, even to us) — log it and move on. The app handles your handicap-based allowance, keeps score, and tots it all up into a leaderboard by the time you reach the clubhouse. No spreadsheets, no arguing about who said what happened on the 14th.
Try It Free — No Strings Attached
Anyone can play a round completely free, right now — no card details, no obligation. Just sign in and start your first round.
The Full Clubhouse Experience
Fancy going further? Club Membership unlocks a proper home for your golfing life — your Player Profile, a permanent monument to your triumphs and your Muppet awards; the Badge Collection, proof of every glorious cock-up and rare moment of competence; Friends & Leaderboards to settle who's actually the Top Dog and who's buying the drinks, with receipts (Friends leaderboard live now; Club, National & Worldwide coming soon); and Awesome Memories, where your rounds live on long after the hangover's gone.
Set up in seconds, no faff — pre-populated player cards and one-tap invites get the round rolling before anyone's even off the first tee. And it's proper communal multiplayer: everyone marks on their own device, all feeding the same round — no passing one phone round the group like a dodgy scorecard.
AI Round Recaps write up your round like a proper sports journalist who happened to witness a disaster. Every month's membership comes with 2 recaps; go annual and you get 25 in one go. They stack up and never expire. Golf Trips & Stag Do's are coming soon — organise the whole shambolic weekend without losing a single fine to “I didn't agree to that.”
It's £3 a month, or £15 for the year — the equivalent of £1.25 a month if you buy the year up front. Guest Players get the game, free, forever. Club Members get the whole clubhouse.
