Know the rule. Keep playing.
An AI rules official in your pocket — describe the situation or snap a photo and get a ruling grounded in the real Rules of Golf, in seconds.
- Find the nearest point of complete relief
- Drop within one club-length, no nearer the hole
Nobody actually knows the rule.
The Rules of Golf run 200+ pages. When your ball is wedged in a tree root and your group is waiting, you guess, ask a buddy who's also guessing, or just play it however feels fair. PaceClub gives you an authoritative answer before you're ready to hit.
How it works
- 01
Describe it or snap a photo
Free-form text, or a photo of the lie, stakes, or boundary — add a one-line caption if you like.
- 02
AI checks the Rules of Golf
Your scenario is matched against the official rules corpus, not the open internet.
- 03
Get your ruling
Penalty (or no penalty), the rule numbers cited, and your ranked relief options — in plain language.
It refuses rather than guess.
Every rule PaceClub cites is verified against the actual Rules of Golf. If the situation is genuinely ambiguous or unsupported, it declines with a clear reason instead of inventing a ruling.
📜 Official Ruling
When the rules cover the procedure — cites specific Rule numbers, every citation grounded.
