The coach reads every round you log, names the leaks your data is sure of, ranks the fixes by strokes per round, and answers your questions with your own numbers.

Your gap, split by where it goes.

The coach takes the gap between your game and your benchmark and splits it by category, then down to the distance band or putt length that causes it.

Specific enough to practice.

It gets specific: “approaches from 150–174 yards cost you 0.6 a round.” Tap a wedge of the donut to filter the fixes, or switch the yardstick from your benchmark to the better half of your own rounds.

Proven leaks and probable ones.

Priority Fixes adds up the leaks the data is sure of (here, 1.2 strokes a round), each with how often you face it, what it costs and the shots behind it, so you can check the math yourself.

Probable leaks wait on the Watch List, out of the total until enough shots prove them.

Coach · fixes & watch list
Priority Fixes: 1.2 strokes per round recoverable against a +2 handicap: approaches from 150–174 yards (55 ft average proximity, 115 shots) and from 225+ (6 shots cost a penalty). Below, a Watch List with 200–224-yard approaches, 6–9 ft putts and 175–199-yard approaches.

Illustration. Each leak’s estimate comes with an 80% range. If the whole range sits below zero, it’s a priority fix; if it crosses zero, it waits on the watch list; with too few shots, there’s no verdict at all.

Ask it anything and it answers with your numbers.

“Why is my approach costing me 1.2 strokes a round?” gets an answer built from your rounds, distances and misses. Suggested questions start from your biggest leak.

The engine does the math

Strokes gained, leaks and fixes are computed by the stats engine. The AI only puts them into words.

Every number is checked

Numbers on coach cards and recaps are checked against your computed stats, and Ask the Coach checks every claim, before you see them.

Off until you allow it

AI features are opt-in, and the consent screen says exactly what each one sends: your stats as text for the coach. Your name and email are never sent.
