Know exactly how far it plays in the wind. The right club, every shot.
You've got the yardage — your golf watch, GPS app, or rangefinder already told you how far it is. ForeWind tells you how that distance actually plays in today's wind, so your club choice is backed by numbers, not gut feeling.
Just type in the distance to the pin and ForeWind instantly calculates your wind-adjusted "plays-like" distance. It pulls live weather from your GPS location using a professional meteorological source, then applies golf-specific formulas that account for headwind, tailwind, and crosswind angle — far more than a generic weather widget can tell you.
Use the built-in compass to align your phone with the target line. ForeWind visualises wind direction relative to your shot, so you can see at a glance whether you're hitting into, with, or across the wind — and pick the right club with confidence.
THE PERFECT PARTNER FOR YOUR GOLF WATCH
ForeWind doesn't replace your GPS watch or rangefinder — it completes them. They tell you the raw distance; ForeWind tells you what it really plays in the wind. One quick number, one confident swing.
