What to practice
60% of this week's practice: 135–165 yard approaches
Your process goal
Pick a committed target before pulling the club.
Your next-round focus
Commit to the target and accept the middle of the green when the situation calls for it.

The problem

You know what you shot.
But do you know why?

Your scorecard tells you the score. Traditional stats tell you where strokes were lost. Coach by ATX helps uncover the patterns and context behind them.

1

What is actually costing me shots?

2

What should I practice this week?

3

Why does the same mistake keep happening?

4

Is this technical, strategic or mental?

5

Why can't I take my range game to the course?

6

Where did the round really go wrong?

So you practice what feels wrong instead of what actually costs you strokes.

Your voice contains information a scorecard never could.

Thirty years of golf analytics taught us that some of the most valuable information isn’t on the scorecard.

“156 yards. Seven iron. Wind slightly off the right. The group ahead had just cleared, so I probably tried to hit mine too hard. I got quick and blocked it right.”

From one natural conversation, Coach understands:

Voice isn’t just easier data entry. It gives Coach by ATX the context traditional statistics miss.

Your round, decoded

Stats tell you what happened. A coach asks why.

A stats app tells you that you lost 1.4 strokes off the tee. Coach by ATX uncovers the context behind it — and the decisions creating the swing.

What happened

Your biggest losses came from approach shots between 140–170 yards.

Strokes gained

Driving+0.4
Approach-2.7
Short Game-0.4
Putting+0.6
Overall-1.2
Why it happened

You changed strategy when playing with a longer hitter, and your biggest mistakes followed aggressive decisions after a poor hole.

1

Missed green left you chasing the pin on the next hole

2

Target got smaller, tension increased, tempo rushed

3

Result: another miss right, more strokes lost

What to do next

Your practice plan prioritizes mid-iron distance control and a simple target-selection routine you can use on the course.

Martin's story

I built this because I was tired of watching golfers practice blind.

For 30 years I have coached golfers who were working hard but not getting better. I watched them leave range sessions with no idea what was actually costing them strokes.

I built Coach by ATX to answer the question I kept hearing: “What should I work on?” It started with handwritten stats, became golf-analysis software, then mobile performance technology, and now AI that listens to your round the way I listen to a player on the lesson tee.

The tools changed. The mission never did: understand why you score the way you do, and give you one clear thing to fix before your next round.

Real golfers. Real diagnoses.

I thought my irons were the problem.
Coach found
Your biggest losses came from approach shots between 140–170 yards (−2.7 strokes), but the misses followed aggressive decisions after a poor hole — not the irons themselves.
What changed
After a missed green, picked a specific target and rehearsed the exact shot instead of chasing the pin.
Result
Approach strokes gained moved from −2.7 to +0.3 over the following month.
I thought my driving was costing me.
Coach found
Driving was actually a strength (+0.4). The leak was short game and the rushed shots that followed a bad hole.
What changed
Committed to a wider target off the tee and slowed tempo after mistakes.
Result
Overall strokes lost dropped from −1.2 to −0.3 across the next five rounds.
I couldn't work out why I kept missing right.
Coach found
A seven-iron from 156 yards was repeatedly blocked right after the group ahead cleared — you got quick and over-committed.
What changed
Set a specific target, rehearsed the shot, and stayed within your normal tempo.
Result
Greens in regulation up by 3 per round within two weeks.

FAQ

Short answers to the questions you actually have.

Do I have to enter every shot manually?+

No. You talk. Describe a shot in a sentence while you walk — Coach by ATX pulls out the club, distance, lie, result and context automatically. No tapping through menus, no sensors, no launch monitor.

How much time does it take after a round?+

A few minutes. Most golfers talk through shots as they play, then have a short conversation after the round. You get your strokes-gained breakdown and your practice priority straight away.

Is Coach by ATX only for low-handicap golfers?+

No. It's built for anyone who wants to stop guessing what to practice. A 20-handicap usually gets the biggest jump, because the leaks are larger and easier to fix once you can see them.

Do I need a launch monitor or any hardware?+

No hardware at all. Just your iPhone. Recording works offline too, so a dead zone on the back nine costs you nothing.

How is this different from a traditional golf stats app?+

Stats apps tell you what happened. Coach by ATX asks why. It combines strokes-gained analysis with the context behind your shots — target, intention, decisions, pressure — and turns that into what you should actually work on.

Do I need to know what strokes gained means?+

No. Coach by ATX does the math and explains it in plain language: where you lost shots, why, and what to do next.

What happens after I talk through my round?+

Your shots are organized, your performance is calculated, and patterns across rounds are surfaced. You get one clear priority — plus a practice action you can take to the range and a reminder before you play again.
