Plain-English glossary
What's a "provisional ball" — and when do you hit one?
Golf has its own language and nobody wants to ask. GolfReady's glossary explains every term in normal English, with a note on what to actually do when it happens to you.
- 100+ terms, all written for beginners
- Search by word or by situation
- Save terms you want to remember — they sync to all your devices
Glossary
Plain-English golf terms.
Provisional Ball
A second ball hit from the same spot when you think your first ball might be lost or out of bounds. Saves time — you don't have to walk back if the original is indeed lost.
Out of Bounds (OB)
Areas outside the course boundary where play is not allowed, usually marked by white stakes or lines. If your ball goes OB, you take a penalty.
Lost Ball
If you cannot find your ball within 3 minutes of searching, it is officially lost. You must return to where you last played from and hit again with a 1-stroke penalty.
Everything in the bag
Everything else a new golfer needs.
Beyond the two big questions, GolfReady packs every reference a new golfer reaches for mid-round. A Premium badge means that tool unlocks after a free taste, or with Premium.
Etiquette & situations
What to do when your ball lands in another fairway, when to repair a divot, how to keep pace. The whole guide stays free.
First-round checklist
50 things to know before your first round. The first 25 are free. Premium unlocks the rest.
AI Caddie
The quick-question wizard is free forever. Photo, describe-your-shot, and chat help: five free a month, unlimited with Premium.
AI rangefinder photo advice
Snap a course photo for estimated club guidance. Five free a month, shared with describe and chat. Unlimited with Premium.
AI Swing Analyzer
Three free analyses when you’re signed in. Then Premium. Frame-by-frame positional feedback — honest confidence, not fake numbers.
AI Coach
Ask a practice question in plain English. Ten a month are free. Premium removes the monthly cap.
Course search & maps
Search 30,000+ courses and save them free. Premium adds a satellite overview and scorecard yardages by tee.
Local tournaments
Majors stay free to browse. Three local searches when you’re signed in, then Premium.
Custom bag
The starter bag stays free. Three edits, then Premium for the clubs you carry and your distances.
Swing tips
Written fundamentals on grip, stance, tempo, and contact stay free. Three free looks at a diagram, then Premium.
Digital scorecard
Keep score hole by hole on your phone, free. Snapping a photo of the paper card is Premium.
Paper scorecard photo
Snap the paper card and keep the original with the round. The digital scorecard itself stays free.
Media library
Save up to 10 photos and clips free. Premium removes that cap. Course albums allow three adds, then Premium.
Follow a finished round
Free shows the latest round someone shared — course, date, and score. Premium lets you share a code and follow every completed round, including notes. Separate 18+ accounts.
Tee times
Find public courses and open each course’s verified booking page. GolfReady does not sell the tee time, and it is not a Premium gate.
Favorites
Save tips, terms, and etiquette with no cap. They stay on this device and sync when you’re signed in.
Practice drills
Foundational drills and form-tip drills stay free. Personalized swing analysis is the Swing Analyzer.
Customize your bottom nav

Rules & scoring basics
Par, penalties, and how a scorecard adds up — in plain English, free.
One minute on the course

A one-minute film of the club call, the glossary, and the first-round checklist — the same screens, on the course.

Women’s Golf for Beginners: Feel Ready Before the First Tee
You were invited, or you are curious. A handicap, new clubs, and a good swing can all wait. Knowing what the day actually looks like cannot.

Common questions.
Do I need to know anything about golf to use this?
No. GolfReady was built for people who don't. Every term, club recommendation, and tip is written in plain English. But experienced golfers get great value too.
Is the free tier actually useful?
Yes. The full etiquette guide, half the first-round checklist, the quick-question AI Caddie wizard, and 10 AI Coach questions per month are free forever. Free also includes five photo, describe, or chat uses per month, tee-time booking links, and nav customize. Premium unlocks unlimited photo, describe, and chat help, all 50 checklist items, and the rest of the Premium tools.
What works offline?
Some core reference screens and locally saved checklist or round data are designed to stay useful after they have loaded. AI Coach, Caddie chat and photo help, course search and maps, local tournaments, support, account sync, and purchases need an internet connection. Work saved offline syncs after you reconnect.
How do I cancel?
Bought in the iPhone or Android app? Cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions — Settings → Manage takes you there. Bought on the web? Settings → Manage opens your billing page, where you can cancel in a few taps. Either way, Premium stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern iPhone or Android phone. Open your browser, add it to your home screen, and it works like a native app — no app store download needed.
Is GolfReady for junior golfers and families?
Yes. Adult beginners remain at the center, and GolfReady also helps the parents or guardians of junior golfers and high school players. It is designed for golfers 18 and older, including parents supporting younger golfers. There is no separate Kids Mode or account for anyone under 18.
