Inspiration

As a tech-savvy, non-technical person, I’ve been diving into AI. After an AI/ML course at the University of Texas and some “vibe-coding” experiments, the Bolt Hackathon felt like the perfect chance to pair that curiosity with another passion—golf. I’m heading to Scotland next week (the home of golf), which inspired the Scottish voices you’ll hear via ElevenLabs.

What It Does

Golf Ace AI helps players connect thoughtful practice and coaching sessions to better on-course results. It lets users:

Focus on key skills: off the tee, approach, short game, putting
Track feels, drills, and games across modules
Enjoy AI-driven coaching and conversational round recaps
Get a fun podcast-style breakdown and a personalized pre-round pump-up

How We Built It

Prompt engineering – Crafted a comprehensive prompt in Manus + ChatGPT, inspired by my favorite coaches, podcasts, and books (The Sweet Spot, Hack It Out Golf, Putting Out of Your Mind, No Laying Up).
Early prototype – Tested workflows in Google Sheets/Forms, then migrated to Airtable to learn relational-database concepts.
Full stack – Ported the prompt to Bolt.new, connected directly to Supabase (enums, FKs, SQL queries), handled version control with GitHub, and deployed on Netlify.
Debugging – Used Claude and Cursor to iron out integration issues, especially around ElevenLabs and OpenAI.

Challenges

Integrating ElevenLabs Conversational AI (embed vs. SDK, JWT tokens, API keys, .env, edge functions, OpenAI hand-offs)
Accidentally wiping my Supabase project with <24 hrs to go—backup lessons learned!
Bolt “loops” that kept fixing the same thing until I stepped back to debug in Claude/Cursor
Nailing foreign keys and enums in Supabase and displaying them cleanly in the UI

Accomplishments

All the integrations—especially the voice component:
- Post-round recaps for the car ride home
- Pre-round prep podcasts
- Cheeky round summaries
