Built an app to help me get to scratch (Feedback?)
Hi lads,
I'm a 4.8 handicap and never been great at tracking rounds, etc. A goal in the next two years is to get to scratch. Spent quite some time (more than I care to admit!) digging through scratch players data to understand what targets constitute to playing as a scratch golfer.
I took the data and built the app with a set of targets that your round is scored against. It outputs an overall Scratch Score which can be used to track how close/far you are from playing scratch golf in general. Then within that, being able to dive deeper into each target and understand the data.
The 5 targets that rounds are scored against:
- GIR's hit (12/18)
- 3-putts (None)
- Doubles or worse (None)
- Scrambling % (50%)
- Birdies (3 per round)
The idea is more geared towards the single figure handicap looking to understand how their rounds are positioned against scratch level, and whether you are trending in the right direction or focusing on the right things.
I'm going to be using it this season (along with some mates) to test the concept.
Not fishing for sign ups here, just honest feedback on the idea. Just a web app currently (Not native IOS, etc)
