Golf Analytics

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.

Two golfers hit the same number of greens and take the same number of putts, yet one shoots seven strokes better. The gap usually lives in a stat almost nobody tracks: how far away the first putt was.

Almost every golfer believes they fall apart on the back nine. The hole-by-hole data says most of them are wrong, and the ones who are right usually have a specific, fixable cause.

Two golfers with the same handicap can need opposite strategies. Your strokes gained breakdown tells you which parts of your game to lean on and which ones to route around.

Your scorecard total tells you how the round went. Splitting it into par 3s, par 4s and par 5s tells you why, and the answer surprises most golfers who assume the short holes are the problem.
