You practise what feels good
A bucket of drivers feels productive. But if your shots are going on penalties and second chips, the range session never touches them.
Golf Improvement Series
Stop practising what you're already good at.
The Game Development Playbook gives you a clear system to improve your game for good. It finds where your shots are really going, then gives you an 8 week plan aimed straight at your biggest leak, with a score on every task so you can see it working.

Why your scores stall
You've put in the hours. The card hasn't moved.
The effort is there. What's missing is a plan that aims it at the shots you're actually losing.
You judge shots against the wrong standard
Tour players hole about 4 in 10 putts from 10 feet. Miss one and you think your putting is broken. It usually isn't.
You don't know which shots you're losing
Your scorecard tells you what you shot. It doesn't tell you why. Without that, every fix is a guess.
Find your biggest leak
What a golfer at your level really averages.
This is one page from the Playbook. Pick your handicap and compare it with your last few rounds. The first line where you're worse is where your practice time goes first.
YOUR HANDICAP
PENALTY SHOTS
Out of bounds, water and unplayables.
3PER ROUND
DOUBLE BOGEYS OR WORSE
Most come from penalties, three-putts and a second chip.
6PER ROUND
GREENS HIT
On the green in regulation. Fewer than this and approach play is your leak.
3PER ROUND
The Playbook also covers shots inside 100 yards, three-putts and mental errors, with a round stats sheet you can fill in straight from your scorecard. No app needed.
Averages adapted from Shot Scope and Arccos data by handicap. Full sources are listed in the Playbook.
Inside the Playbook
Five sections. One clear order.
Each section does one job. Together they give you a complete system, in the order you use it.

How it works
Diagnose first. Then practise.
Four steps, in order. You always know what to work on next.
Track three rounds
Fill in the round stats sheet after each one. Fairways, greens, shots inside 100 yards, doubles, three-putts, penalties and mental errors.
Find your leak
Add them up, take the averages and compare them with golfers at your handicap. The first line where you're worse is your leak.
Follow the plan
Three sessions a week for 8 weeks, with extra time on your leak and a score on every task so you can see it working.
Retest in week 9
Redo the skill checklist and compare every number with where you started. Then choose what the next eight weeks are for.

Questions
Before you start.
Will it work for my level?
Yes. The leak test has averages for 10, 15, 20 and 25 handicaps, and the skill checklist shows levels from 20 handicap down to tour standard, so you always know your next step. No handicap yet? Use your average score over your last three rounds.
How much time does it take?
About three sessions a week of an hour each. Only have two? Keep the order and the tasks and let each session run to 75 minutes.
Do I need an app or a launch monitor?
No. Every stat can be counted straight off your scorecard, and every drill uses a range, a practice green and a few tees to mark targets.
Is it a printed book?
It's a 37-page PDF you can read on any device. The worksheets are designed to be printed and taken to the range and the course.
What if it's not for me?
You're covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the Playbook doesn't give your practice a clear plan, email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full. No questions, no hassle.
How do I get it?
