Attack

Driving Home

An opponent must putt using only a driver this hole.

How it works

Same course. Way more fun.

You still play real golf. The app just adds a deck of cards that keeps every hole interesting, whether you shoot 75 or 125.

  1. Set up on the first tee

    Tick the clubs you've actually got, start a round, and send the invite link to the group chat.

  2. Get dealt in

    Everyone starts with 5 cards and gets offered a new one every hole. Keep it, or pass and gamble.

  3. Unleash chaos

    Play a card whenever you like. It flips up on everyone's phone, and the app tracks who's cursed and for how long.

The cards

Pick your weapon.

54 cards, six families. Tap one to see another.

  • AttackRuin someone else's hole.Example 1/11 · tap for anotherBye Bye ByeThrow an opponent's ball in any direction.
  • CurseHandicap yourself. Literally. It frees up room in your hand.Example 1/6 · tap for anotherPutter OnlyPlay the entire hole - tee to green - with only your putter.

The hole draw

Every hole, a choice. Greedy or gracious?

As each new hole starts, you’re offered a card. What you do next costs somebody something.

  1. First card

    Keep it

    Free. Straight into your hand.

  2. Second card

    Pass

    See a different card. Keep that one and it costs you 2 strokes.

  3. No card

    Pass again

    No card for you, and everyone else takes +1 stroke.

The draw stops once you’re holding seven, so you can’t just hoard your way round.

Your bag

Whatever’s in your bag. Maybe less by the 18th.

Full set, half set, borrowed from your dad: tick what you actually carry. From then on the app is the group’s memory of which clubs you’re still allowed to swing.

  • Driver
  • 3 Wood
  • Hybrid
  • 6 Iron
  • 7 Iron
  • 8 Iron
  • 9 Iron
  • Pitching Wedge
  • Sand Wedge

Here’s a weekend bag. Deal yourself a card and see what you’re left holding.

Is this for us?

Golf, minus the stuffiness.

It’s for you if…

  • You lose more balls than you find.
  • You've never been totally sure what a gimme is.
  • Your group cares more about the 19th hole than the 18th.
  • One of you is much better than the rest. The cards will sort that out.

Made for friendly rounds, not medal days. Keep up the pace, let faster groups through, and save the kicking for your mates’ balls.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.

Do we need to download anything?

No. It runs in your phone's browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.

How many people can play?

Two or more, each on their own phone. Everyone signs in with Google, which takes a couple of taps.

Will it slow our round down?

Playing a card is a couple of taps, and the round moves on to the next hole by itself once everyone has scored. Most of it happens while you walk.

Do I need to be any good at golf?

No. You're only playing against your group, and cards like Pressure Putt and Sharing Is Caring are made for dragging the leader back.

What do gimme, mulligan and OB mean?

A gimme is a putt so short everyone agrees it counts as holed. A mulligan is a free do-over. OB is out of bounds: a ball that's left the course. A hazard is water or a bunker. Some cards hand out gimmes and mulligans; others turn on hazards and OB.

Is this allowed on my course?

It's for friendly rounds, not competitions or medal days. Keep up the pace, let faster groups through, and check your course's local rules.

Who keeps score?

You do, on the honour system, same as always. The group sets par for each hole, everyone taps in their own strokes, and the app works out what the cards did.

Can we play 9 holes?

Yes. Pick 9 or 18 when you start a round.
