Decision practice

The decisions that cost you, on demand.

You need a plan that fits the swing you already have.

The same few calls decide your card every time you play, and out there they arrive two or three a round while you are busy playing. Here they come one at a time, as often as you want, with nothing riding on them. You commit to your choice first, then find out what it cost.

$99 a year, or $15 a month.

Twelve months for about what six and a half cost monthly — a saving of 45%.

It renews at the end of each term until you cancel.

The problem

You can know the yardage and still have no idea what to do.

The situations that cost you shots come up a few times a round, and never when you are ready for them.

A range session builds the swing. It never once asks you to choose between two lines with a number on the outcome.

Your playing partner's advice is calibrated to their swing and their miss. Not yours.

Try one hole

Pick your line, then find out what it cost.

This is the whole thing, on one hole. Nothing tells you the answer until you have committed to yours — that is the part that makes it stick.

The decision

Hole 7 · Par 4 · 385 yards

The water starts about 210 off the tee and runs to 260, all down the left. Miss right and the bunker is in play where the fairway pinches.

What actually costs you shots

The gap between a 15 and a 10 isn't more birdies.

It is fewer blow-up holes. The doubles and worse that almost always start with one decision, made before the swing that gets blamed for it.

Blow-ups, not birdies: What separates skill levels is the count of holes that get away, not the count of holes holed out early.
Pin-hunting loses: Firing at the flag costs strokes at every level, tour players included. Which is why the safer play defaults to the middle of the green.
66%: of recreational golfers say they try to forget about their phone during a round. So this happens before you tee off, not while you play.

How it works

One hole, one decision, one read.

01
Pick a shot
Holes filtered to your level. A real distance, real trouble and a real pin — the shot you face on a Saturday morning.
02
Make the call
What you're hitting, where you're aiming, and where you could live with a miss. Three questions, then you commit.
03
Get the read
Whether it was a good call, what it actually did, and one thing to remember. No score, no bars, no grade.
04
Your carry numbers
How far you actually hit each club. That is what makes it your club being recommended and your cost being counted, instead of a figure modelled on somebody else's bag.

The holes

Made up, and wider than any one course can be.

None of these holes exist, which is the point — they can ask questions your own eighteen never gets round to. That is the trade: no course of yours, and more of the situations that actually catch you out.

False-front greens: The pin looks reachable and the front third feeds back forty yards. Learning to take the number to the middle costs you nothing here, and a stroke a round out there.
Island fairways: A landing area with trouble on every side and a lay-up that leaves an awkward number. The call is which mistake you would rather make.
Doglegs with OB both sides: The corner is worth thirty yards and missing it means a reload. Practising the shot you would not risk in a medal is how you find out whether you have it.

This is the paid version. What a partner course gives its golfers stays free, permanently — this is for golfers we can't reach that way.

The boundaries

What it is, and what it isn't.

What it is

Holes chosen because the decision on them is worth something, not because they photograph well
The safer line and the aggressive one side by side, with what the wrong pick actually costs
A private edge — practice alone, and nobody at the course has to know
As many as you want, whenever you want

What it isn't

Not a GPS app, not a rangefinder, not a scorekeeper, not a shot tracker, not a swing analyser
Nothing to check during a round. This happens before you play
Not a swing lesson. Nothing here will touch how you hit it — only what you choose to hit
