Better questions. More useful practice.

What we build

We connect golf scorekeeping, performance review, swing video and purposeful practice. Golfers can begin with a simple record and explore deeper tools when they have a question those tools can answer.

How to read our guidance

Our pages are published by the STROKES GPD editorial team. Educational examples are labelled as illustrative. They are not customer results or promises of a particular score reduction. Where a page explains formal rules or technical definitions, it links to relevant primary sources.

Three kinds of evidence

• Recorded outcomes: scores, penalties and other events entered by the golfer describe what happened.
• Performance estimates: Estimated Shots Lost and strokes gained provide different ways to interpret recorded golf. A benchmark comparison depends on the input detail and the benchmark; it is not a direct measurement of swing mechanics.
• Video observations: a phone view can show visible movement. It does not directly measure ground forces, three-dimensional joint motion or every aspect of club delivery.

What an answer can establish

A slice, heavy strike or recurring score pattern can suggest what to investigate. It cannot establish a unique technical cause without enough evidence. Our practical checks are starting points, and advice should be adjusted to the golfer and conditions.
