Answers to common questions about TurfCaddie — and a straight line to a human when you need one.
support@turfcaddie.app — we read everything and reply as fast as we can. Include your account email and, if it's a bug, what you tapped right before it happened.
Download TurfCaddie on iPhone or open the web app and tap Sign up. During the beta every account gets full Pro access, free — no card required.
Weather needs your course location. Go to Settings, enter your address (or use GPS in the iPhone app), and tap Update Weather Location. You'll see "Weather locked to…" when it's set.
Yes — one account, same data everywhere. Log a moisture walk in the field and it's on your office screen when you get back. Camera diagnosis, the GPS scouting map, and push alerts live in the iPhone app; everything else works in both places.
Every result shows a confidence score, the reasoning behind it, and the look-alikes it ruled out. Detailed mode also cites university and USGA sources. Treat it as a very well-read second opinion: confirm or correct each result — that feedback makes future answers on your course sharper.
Fill the frame with the symptom, shoot in even light (avoid harsh shadows), and include the edge where damaged turf meets healthy turf. Adding a note — "started in low spots after 3 days of rain" — helps a lot. Picking the hole also feeds that green's soil-moisture readings into the reasoning.
They're a starting point, not a prescription. Always read and follow the product label — the label is the law. Verify rates, re-entry intervals, and local regulations before any application.
Any TDR-style moisture meter that reads volumetric water content (VWC %) works — the Spectrum TDR-350 is the common one. Type readings into the Moisture Walk keypad, or import the probe's CSV on the website or in the app.
After 14+ readings on a green, tap Calibrate with AI. It studies that green's dry-down pattern and history, then suggests thresholds with plain-language reasoning and citations. You review and apply — you always have the final say.
That's the point: every green is colored against its own targets, not a course average. A push-up green and a sand-based green shouldn't be judged by the same number.
