Every Stat That Matters, In One Free App
Short Grass tracks the stats that actually predict scoring improvement — the same metrics used by tour caddies and teaching pros.
How Many Fairways Are You Actually Hitting?
Track fairways hit in regulation on every round. Short Grass shows your FIR percentage over time so you can see whether your driver is improving or costing you strokes.

- Greens in regulation % per round
- GIR trend over time
- Approach shot distance tracking
- Proximity-to-pin averages
