Reading your trends

Trends opens once you have logged five rounds, and fills out as you go. Below that it says so plainly rather than drawing a chart from too little.

You choose which rounds it reads. The tile at the top opens the filters: a date window; your last 5, 10 or any number of rounds, or all of them; practice, qualifying or tournament; and 9 or 18 holes if you play both. It remembers what you picked.

Two numbers, side by side, across the rounds you chose: your Mindset Index — your average — and your Growth Index.

Tap the Mindset Index to see Flow and Recovery beside it, each set against what your Mindset would be expected to give — above, in line with, or below expected across the block, and round by round. Tap any round to open it.

The Growth Index is a score out of 100 for the direction you are heading, with a band name attached — from Searching at the bottom through Slipping, Steady and Developing to Surging.

It counts only what clearly moved across your rounds — more than 3 points for your Mindset, or 2 strokes for your score, is a clear change — and your Flow or Recovery when they clearly moved against expected. Beneath it, Your progress says so in plain words: “Over 5 rounds: your score is coming down clearly; your Mindset has no clear change yet.”

What stood out across these rounds: one part of your game either side of your Mindset — the one where the gap is worth the most shots — and, for What you control and What you don’t, the condition that went with your best and your worst rounds. Each is measured by how present you were.

How evenly you play around your Mindset — each shot type and each part of the course, in shots and in points from your Mindset. Anything well above it is working; anything well below it is an opportunity.

Below that, your rounds taken apart by shot type, hole type, the two nines and more, following the same format as the round report — each with a chart you can switch between the round-by-round history and the underlying trend.

Then What you control and What you don’t — the conditions you logged, lined up against how present you were — and your Personal Bests: your best Mindset Index, Flow, Recovery, longest mindful run and more, most of them opening the round that set it.

Nothing in Trends claims that one thing caused another. It shows you what went together across your rounds, and says how many rounds it read. Rounds differ in more ways than one, and the app is careful to say so rather than hand you a conclusion it cannot support.

Trends gives visibility into a player’s actual on-course mindset, in practice and under pressure. That shows the player what’s working and what isn’t — the foundation for lower scores and more enjoyment of the game.
