What you can expect — plus way more

Theory · Your biggest leak

Your wedges are bleeding strokes. The biggest gap between you and your level right now is 100–125 yards — you're hitting 63% of those greens but losing ground on nearly every single one, and it's your highest-volume scoring range. The over-draw is the culprit.

Around your game
Most common miss off the tee Over draw — 48% of your misses The over draw is your #1 miss off the tee — 48% of your shape misses, usually finishing left, rough.
Most common miss into greens Over draw — 19% of measured approaches The over draw is your #1 miss into greens — 19% of measured approaches, −0.35 a shot.
Up and down 31% of 48 chances A chip that finishes 10+ ft away sits on 39% of your bogey-or-worse holes but only 8% of your pars — and your conversion collapses from 58% inside 10 feet to 12% beyond it. Pick the landing spot that gets the ball inside 10 feet — not the one that chases the pin.
The putting drain 6–10 ft: 26% made, −0.31 a putt 6–10 ft is your biggest putting drain: 26% made across 27 putts, −0.31 a putt. That range is where putting practice actually pays you.
The bogey maker A penalty — on 26% of bogeys vs 0% of pars The single biggest difference between your pars and your bogeys: a penalty — it shows up almost never on a par hole.

Each area opens into a full breakdown in the app — this is just the front page. Theory finds the why behind your score, and the practice that fixes it.

Meet Theory

The coach the app is named after.

Theory is your own AI golf coach — one named voice across your entire game. It reads your real shot data, finds exactly what's costing you strokes, proves whether you're improving, and never hands you a generic tip.

Asking Theory what's costing the most strokes — a grounded, numbers-backed answer

One coach, everywhere

Round chat, multi-round chat, debriefs, insights, practice, mid-round briefings, the Theory tab — one name, one voice. Ask about a round, open Theory, and it picks up the thread.

Grounded in your data

Theory speaks only from a verified analytics engine — no made-up advice, no fake flattery. Just your numbers, read like a coach who studied every round.

Finds your real leaks

Ranks what's actually costing you strokes, each with an honest confidence level — and traces cause → effect → score: "overcooked shape → short-sided → bogey."

Adapts to you

Draw, fade, straight, or a two-way miss; scratch or 25-handicap — Theory grades you against your level and your shape, and never blames you for wind or a hard course.

Proves you're improving

Tracks trends over time and only calls a change real when the data backs it up — no horoscopes. Shows where you stand and spots the new bottleneck you just earned.

Connects practice to results

Log what you work on and Theory shows whether it moved your game on the course — "since you started on putting, your 6-footers are up."

A journal that compounds

Note what you learned or felt; Theory reads it, ties it to your data, and remembers. Notes trace back to the round and date they came from.

Fair to every golfer

Gender-aware benchmarks (LPGA vs PGA), yards or meters, and reachability scaled to your bag — built for short hitters, women, and seniors too.

On-course strategy

Your shot pattern, mapped onto the hole.

Not a generic yardage book. The overlay is built 100% from your own dispersions — no other player's shots touch the map. It's your game, on this hole, right now.

  • The score-optimal line for the hole, personalized to you — factoring wind, elevation, and rollout
  • Distance markers every 20 yards, each with a wind- and elevation-adjusted "plays-like" number
  • Tap any club to preview its dispersion ellipse — your real shot pattern, not an average
  • Green zones are the smart misses; cooler colors mean tougher recoveries

The why behind your game

Your leaks — found, explained, and proven fixed.

Theory runs a loop on your game: find what's leaking strokes, prescribe the practice that targets it, then prove whether it actually worked — across every round you log.

  • Every leak ranked and traced cause → effect → score: "over-drawn approach → short-sided → bogey"
  • Putting split by distance and break — down to the exact comebacker that turns bogey into double
  • Declare a practice focus and Theory splits your results before vs. after — proof, not vibes
  • Ask Theory anything about your game, grounded in every shot you've hit
What is your most common miss off the tee — ranked with SG per shot and the why
Which putts cost you the most — make rates and SG by distance, with the why
Landing your chips on the spot — hit vs missed leaves, and the why

AI practice

A practice plan built around your weaknesses.

Tell it how long you've got. It builds a session around your stats and your equipment — grouped by location so you're not walking back and forth.

  • AI practice plans built from your actual weaknesses

  • Every drill is built to bring your game out to the course
  • Full drill library across 7 skill categories — save routines, track streaks

Scored practice games

Practice that keeps score like the course does.

Games and simulators put a real number on every session — so practice stops being "hit balls until it feels good" and starts being measurable.

  • A putting simulator that scores every putt with real strokes gained
  • Up & down and short-game games built from realistic on-course scenarios
  • Scenario decks keep sessions varied — no two games play the same
  • Every game trains a skill, so range scores connect back to your rounds
Up & Down Sim — find this shot: rough lie, tight, short-sided, downhill — then log where the chip finished
