Finding the courses that suit a golfer

Built a golf analytics tool that shows my client a player’s real strengths and the courses where those strengths are most likely to matter.

At a glance

01 / The problem

Raw results hide what actually happened

A score reflects a player’s form, but also the course, the field, and how difficult that particular day was.

02 / What I delivered

A player and course intelligence tool

An interactive analysis notebook that adjusts results for difficulty, builds player and course profiles, and measures their fit.

03 / What it unlocks

Better preparation for the right courses

My client can see which courses fit a player’s game and where focused preparation is most likely to help.

A good score does not always mean the same thing

A golfer can play well on a punishing course or look ordinary on an easy one. A finish position alone does not explain whether they drove the ball well, saved shots around the green, or simply had a good putting week.

I built a fairer picture of each player and course

I built a model that accounts for the difficulty of each tournament round before measuring a player’s contribution. It looks at the four parts of the game: driving, approach shots, short game, and putting. Recent rounds can matter more, so the picture reflects current form instead of only distant results.

The tool then builds profiles for players and courses, making it possible to see which types of golf tend to succeed at each venue.

My client could explore the fit themselves

The interactive notebook lets my client compare players and courses, find golfers with similar profiles, and see the traits shared by golfers who tend to perform well at a particular venue.

Preparation can begin with the right question

Instead of asking only whether a player is good, my client can ask where that player’s particular game is likely to be an advantage. A season of results becomes a clearer basis for scheduling, preparation, and coaching conversations.
