Strokes gained

Good course management is not about playing safe. It is about making the highest expected-value decision on every shot — and your own data tells you what that decision is.

One shot to the green sounds simple, but par 3 scoring is consistently worse than golfers expect. The data explains why these holes quietly cost you strokes and how to stop the bleeding.

Your index fell two strokes this month but your strokes gained barely moved. That gap isn't a bug — it's the two numbers measuring different things. Here is how to reconcile them.

Breaking into the single digits is less about one heroic skill and more about a specific statistical shape. Here is what that profile actually looks like across the bag.

Two golfers can both hit 10 greens in regulation and lose three shots to each other on approach. GIR cannot see that gap. Strokes gained approach can.

Bombing it 290 looks great on the tee box, but does distance actually lower your scores? The strokes gained data on amateur driving is more nuanced than either side of the argument admits.
