Check your yardages while you play. See where you lost strokes after the round.

On the course

Check the yardage. Hit the shot. Tap where it finished.

That’s it. Nicky knows where you started and where the shot ended, and she’s already guessed the club — confirm it, or swap in the one you actually hit. A quick review at the end of the round confirms the details, and your shot history is built.

Built-in coach

The round ends. Nicky gets to work.

Most golf apps give you a dashboard. Nicky gives you a diagnosis — she finds the part of your game costing you the most strokes, shows you the shots behind it, and tells you what deserves your attention first. Then she stays on it: what you’re working on, and whether it’s actually working.

“Your golf coach sees an hour a month. I see every shot.”

Step 2 · Understand

Nicky names the leak

After a handful of rounds, Nicky splits your game into driving, approach, short game, and putting — each with its own handicap, measured against your own game, not a tour average. You don’t get a wall of stats. You get a verdict.

“Your approach game plays like a 14 — the rest of your game plays like an 8. Let’s look at what’s going on in there.”

Your game, split four ways

Driving

ApproachThe leak

14.1

Short game

9.4

Putting

8.8

Nicky keeps your handicap index current automatically — this is that index, split four ways, priced against your own game.

See what’s behind it

Inside your approach game: where the misses go, what each one costs, and what you actually hit each club — evidence, not vibes.

Step 3 · Act — practice

Get a plan you can actually run

Drills paired with transfer tests — practice that has a chance of showing up on the course, not just on the range. A short plan like this lands every Sunday morning, built from what Nicky saw that week.

Nicky

Sample practice plan

Focus

7-iron and 6-iron approach work, 25 minutes. Then 15 minutes of lag putting from 25+ feet.

Why

Simulator carries are stable but on-course results from 145-165 have drifted short. Three-putts from 25+ feet cost you twice in your last two rounds.

Plan

10 normal-rhythm 7-irons, then 10 with your full pre-shot routine and a specific target. Lag putting: one target, full routine, make-or-miss consequence if you finish outside your zone.

What would change my mind

If the short misses show up on the range too, this isn’t an on-course transfer issue — it’s mechanical, and the plan changes.

Step 3 · Act — on the course

Know the course before it beats you

Once Nicky knows your game, the course stops being generic. She prices what each miss costs you in strokes, shows where your tee shots really land, and lets you scout a course you’ve never seen — with your distances, not a pro’s.

Step 4 · Verify

Nicky doesn’t forget after the debrief

Recommendations aren’t one-and-done. Nicky remembers what she suggested, watches what happens in your next rounds, and keeps the conversation going as your game changes — every suggestion carries “what would change my mind,” and she delivers the verdict either way.

Nicky

The verdict

Short approaches dropped from 61% to 35% over six rounds — that one’s done. Nice work. Next up: I want to see if the driver tempo holds on tight tee shots.

How a conversation actually goes

You ask, push back, dig into the numbers — and rounds later, she follows up on whether it worked.

You

What's my go-to club on a 150-yard shot?

Nicky

Your 7-iron — not the 8. On the course your 7-iron averages 158, and a quarter of them finish 150 or shorter, so it covers the number even when the strike isn't perfect. The 8 only gets there flushed, and 59% of your approach misses come up short. Wind, cold, or trouble long changes the call — but that's your default.

Two weeks later

You

Tried aiming a club-length right on approaches — best ball-striking day in a while.

Nicky

The numbers agree: you gained 3.4 strokes on approach today versus your average, and proximity dropped from 58 feet to 40. The target tweak works because it frees the swing instead of steering it. Keep it in the bag.

Nicky remembers the thread of your game

Each round and practice updates the picture: what’s improving, what’s repeating, and what deserves your attention next. The magic isn’t one debrief — it’s that Nicky remembers what you’re working on across sessions.

Connecting the dots, Friday evening

Your driver was the loose club for three rounds — coming off your line on 14 and 17 in particular. Tuesday’s width work showed up Friday: you held shape on 14 for the first time since April, and the short-side approach pattern dropped from four down to one. Worth carrying the width feel another two weeks before we test something new.

Confidence: high. Three-round window with a clear before/after, plus the practice session in between. If the next two rounds drift back, I’ll reopen it.
