A More Engaging Home Experience on TheGrint

‍

‍

When your friends aren’t playing, TheGrint is about you. Your progress. Your journey. Your game.

‍

When your friends are playing, TheGrint shifts. It becomes about them. Their rounds. The moments unfolding in real time.

‍

Home now adapts to what matters most in that moment, balancing personal progress with live, social golf.

‍

Your progress, visualized over time

‍

‍

When no one you’re connected with is playing live, Home focuses on your journey in the game.

‍

You’ll see a set of progress bubbles, each representing a different milestone in your golf life on TheGrint. Every bubble includes a progress indicator that wraps around it, showing how close you are to reaching the next stage of that milestone.

‍

Some bubbles may appear inactive or grayed out at first. That simply means you haven’t started making progress toward that milestone yet.

As you play more golf and log more rounds, those bubbles come to life and begin filling in.

Two types of progress

Journey-based milestones

These track your time, consistency, and dedication to the game.

‍

• Rounds
  Tracks the total number of rounds you’ve posted on TheGrint.
• Trophies
  Shows the percentage of trophies you’ve earned out of all trophies available.
• Courses
  Tracks the number of unique courses you’ve played.
• Since
  Displays the year you joined TheGrint. A quiet badge of honor for how long you’ve been part of the game.

These milestones reward showing up and sticking with it.

Skill-based milestones

These reflect improvement in your actual play.

‍

• Scoring
  Based on your scoring average across 18-hole rounds.
• Index
  Based on your handicap index.

Each milestone progresses through rarity tiers:

‍
Bronze → Silver → Gold → Pink

‍

A newer golfer shooting in the 100s will typically see these wrapped in bronze. As scores come down, those wraps advance toward silver, gold, and eventually pink.

‍

Golfers consistently playing in the 70s will see these in pink, reflecting a level of play that’s genuinely rare. Each tier is based on defined thresholds tied to the difficulty of achieving that level.

Live scores, redesigned around real play

‍

‍

When golfers you’re connected with are playing, Home shifts automatically.

‍

Live rounds move into focus:

• Player avatars appear at the top of Home
• A progress ring shows how far into the round they are
• If someone is on hole 13, you’ll see roughly three-quarters complete

Tap into any live round to:

• See a quick score summary
• Jump straight into the scorecard

For iOS users, Live Activities are now easier to access than ever. You’ll see a clear “Pin to lock screen” option so you can track a round in real time as friends come down the stretch.

‍

It’s a simple way to stay connected without constantly opening the app.

The bottom line

This update:

‍

• Puts your progress front and center when you’re playing your own game
• Makes live rounds more visible and engaging
• Keeps the experience balanced between personal improvement and social play
• Reflects how golfers naturally interact with the game
  ‍

You play golf your way.

‍

Now TheGrint meets you there.
