Most golfers spend their putting practice inside six feet because those misses hurt the most. The strokes gained math says the money is somewhere else entirely, and it is not close.

You tapped 4 feet instead of 40, or you forgot the penalty on the 12th. Every field in a golfity shot row is editable, during the round and after you save it. Here is the fastest way to fix each kind of tracking mistake.

Most golfers check their stats too often and change their practice too fast. The fix is not tracking less, it is matching what you look at to how much data you actually have.

Before 2003, nobody knew where tour players actually hit the ball. ShotLink turned every shot on the PGA Tour into a coordinate, and within a decade it had overturned most of the received wisdom about what separates good golfers from great ones.

You do not need a sports psychologist to spot your mental patterns. First-tee nerves, tentative putting, and post-disaster spirals all leave a signature in your shot data.

Golf advice tells you two opposite things about laying up: get as close as you can, and leave yourself a full wedge. Both are right, and the tracked data tells you which one applies to you.
