Study your game.

My niece plays competitive student golf and wanted a better way to track her rounds, shot by shot, and actually see how she was progressing without bro-talking through group chats, living in spreadsheets, or emailing every round to her coach. What began as a personal tracker for her morphed into something built for her and her coach together: same rounds, same data, two perspectives. Coach sees the roster, player sees the transcript, and “office hours” stops being a Google Sheet.

From there it grew. Anyone she trusts can claim a scorekeeper code for that round and log her shots in real time: dad on the cart, a buddy on the bag, a sibling at the clubhouse. Family, friends, or a remote coach who can't make it to the course get a live follow link: tap it, watch the scorecard update hole by hole, read the notes the scorekeeper drops along the way. No account, no install. It also handles tournaments end-to-end: leaderboards, attestations, and admin tooling. But the spine hasn't changed: one place where a player tracks her own game, and the people invested in her can see what's actually happening.

A logo wasn't enough. The product needed an identity. Working alongside Claude, the full brand came together from scratch: a heraldic shield that nods to old-world golf clubs without feeling stuffy, a tagline that reads as encouragement (“Study your game.”), and a palette built around a fairway-green that holds up against course photography, a cream that reads clean against UI chrome, and a single accent gold for moments of celebration on the leaderboard.

Coursework runs as a static SPA on CloudFront, talking to an AWS HTTP API Gateway in front of 30 Lambda routes (Node 20). State lives in a single DynamoDB table. Auth runs through Cognito. The whole stack scales to zero when nobody's using it, which makes the cost profile of a small-tournament- season service nearly free at idle.
