I built a golf app because my golf coach gave me a PDF and a pencil

Hey — I got into vibe coding about 6 weeks ago and I'm now way down the rabbit hole.

Started with Lovable, but for the last month I've been using Claude Code for pretty much everything.

I built a performance-based golf short game app called Scoring Zone (Was originally building it just to use myself — I wanted to track and score my putting and chipping practice and there was literally nothing out there that did it properly. Got some really positive feedback from a few teaching pros so thought right, let's actually launch this thing.

So long story short, i work a 9-5 in sales and have been staying up to 1-2am everynight building this project for the last month

Have come a long way. Built the full app including two complete redesigns, a database of over 20,000 teaching golf professionals with automated emails, automated newsletter, automated social posts (still a work in progress).

No engineering background — but i do have 15 years marketing experience, just found AI and here we are!!

In terms of the app — there's 50+ scored drills across putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play and wedges. All benchmarked to your handicap so you know if you're actually improving or just going through the motions. There's a pressure mode that simulates on-course stakes, a Performance Hub that runs you through a full assessment and calculates your Short Game Handicap, round tracking with strokes gained data broken down by category, and a Practice Assistant that has a bunch of useful modes

The main reason for this post is just to get some general feedback. How does the app look and feel? Any advice on distribution? That's honestly the hardest part right now — getting it in front of the right people.

One thing I've done on the distrubution front is set up a teaching pro referral programme. Pros sign up, get their students to onboard, and they receive a percentage of the monthly revenue. Had 14 coach sign-ups in two weeks which feels like a decent start but keen to hear if anyone has experience scaling something like that. I have 200 automated emails going out per day in the US but think this needs to be increased.

It's completely free right now — early access, no credit card required. Would love to hear what you think.
