Yaps on TheGrint: Record an Audio or Video Round Recap

Yaps on TheGrint let you share how your round went in your own voice. After you finish playing, you can record an audio or video Yap up to 2 minutes long, and your Yap appears directly on your scorecard. Yaps are free for everyone.

This post covers what a Yap is, how to record one, what to talk about and how it fits with the rest of your scorecard. TheGrint already keeps your scores, stats and handicap; Yaps add the story behind the numbers.

What is a Yap on TheGrint?

A Yap is a short audio or video message you record after a round to say how it went. It lives on the scorecard for that round, so the numbers and your take on them stay together.

• Audio or video: talk into your phone, or record yourself on camera.
• Up to 2 minutes: long enough for the full story of a round, short enough to keep it moving.
• On your scorecard: your Yap appears directly on the scorecard for that round.
• After you play: Yaps are recorded once your round is finished, while it is still fresh.
• Free for everyone: no Pro Membership needed.

Why did we build Yaps?

We built Yaps because a scorecard tells you what you shot, but not what it felt like to shoot it. An 88 can be the best round of your season or the one where you were two over through 15.

Every golfer has the story after the round: the drive that finally found the fairway, the chip that rolled in, the lip-out that still stings. Until now that story stayed in the parking lot or the group chat. Yaps keep it on the scorecard, next to the round it belongs to.

Whether you played your best or your worst golf, we want to hear about it.

How do you record a Yap?

You record a Yap from the Customize Your Post screen right after you finish your round, and it is added to that round's scorecard.

1. Finish your round and post your score as usual.
2. Tap Start Yapping on the Yaps card in Customize Your Post. The app's prompt says it best: "Talk about your round!"
3. Pick Video or Audio. Video uses your phone's front camera; Audio records just your voice.
4. Tap to Record and talk for up to 2 minutes. A progress bar shows how much time you have left.
5. Tap stop, then Preview Yap to watch or listen back. Your Yap appears directly on your scorecard.

What should you talk about in a Yap?

Talk about whatever made the round memorable, good or bad. The best Yaps are specific: one shot, one hole, one feeling.

• The shot you will remember: the hybrid to six feet, the putt that dropped on the last roll.
• The hole that got away: the triple you are still thinking about. A Yap is the perfect way to vent about a frustrating round.
• The number: broke 100, 90 or 80 for the first time? Say it out loud. Those milestones also earn TheGrint Collectibles.
• What you will work on: the part of your game that cost you strokes today.
• The group: a shout-out to the playing partner who holed out from the bunker.

Record it before you leave the course, while the details are still sharp. If you are recording an audio Yap, a quiet spot makes it easier to hear later.

How do Yaps fit with your scorecard?

Yaps add your own account of a round to the scorecard that already holds the numbers. Your hole-by-hole scores, putts and other stats still come from what you enter while you play, and they feed your golf stats and handicap tracking on TheGrint.

The Yap sits alongside those numbers. When you look back at a round months later, you will see what you shot and hear how it felt.

Is Yaps free on TheGrint?

Yes. Yaps are free for everyone, so every member can record an audio or video Yap after a round. TheGrint is free, always: score tracking on your phone, GPS, games and live leaderboards are all included for every golfer.

A Pro Membership on TheGrint adds features such as advanced stats, Insights and watch scoring. See what Free and Pro include. For more advanced features, try TheGrint Pro free for 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a Yap be on TheGrint?

A Yap can be up to 2 minutes long, whether you record it as audio or as video. That is enough time to walk through the shot you will remember, the hole that got away and how you felt about the round, without turning it into a full podcast.

Can I record a Yap after a bad round?

Yes. Yaps are for every kind of round, your best and your worst. If a three-putt on 18 cost you your number, a Yap is a place to vent about it. If you finally broke 90, it is a place to show it off. Either way, it stays with that round on your scorecard.

Where do Yaps appear on TheGrint?

Your Yap appears directly on your scorecard for the round you recorded it about. The scorecard keeps the numbers, such as your hole-by-hole scores and stats, and the Yap adds your own account of how the round went, in your own voice or on video.

Do I need a Pro Membership to record a Yap?

No. Yaps are free for everyone on TheGrint, so every member can record an audio or video Yap after a round without a Pro Membership. Pro adds other features, such as advanced stats and watch scoring, but sharing how your round went is part of the Free experience.
