Strokes Gained Putting

A putting tracker for golfers. Log the distance of every putt as you play, and Strokes Gained Putting tells you how many shots you gained or lost on the green compared with the standard you pick — scratch, or a 5, 10, 15 or 20 handicap — hole by hole, and across every round you have played.

What the app does

Log putts as you play
One tap per putt on a big number pad built for a phone in one hand, mid-round. Enter the distance you putted from and the app does the rest.
See strokes gained per hole
Every hole is scored against the handicap level you are measuring yourself against, from scratch down to a 20 handicap, so you find out whether a two-putt from 40 feet actually gained you strokes.
Track rounds over time
Each round is saved with its date, course and notes, and totalled so you can see whether your putting is trending up.
Share the story of a round
Turn a saved round into a polished recap for a golf friend or coach, or share how your most recent five rounds compare with the five before them once enough history is available. Preview, send, save or copy the image without uploading private notes or hole-by-hole details.
Find the distances costing you shots
Once a few rounds are in, the analysis page shows where you gain and lose strokes, how often you hole out compared with your benchmark, and how often first putts from 10 feet or farther finish within 10% of their starting distance. Five-round trends, three-putt rate and make percentage help separate a bad day from a real change in your putting.
Measure against the golfer you want to be
Pick the standard you are chasing: scratch, or a 5, 10, 15 or 20 handicap. It is one setting rather than a label stuck on each round, so switching it re-scores every round you have ever logged and shows the gap to that standard straight away. Move it down as you improve, and your whole history follows.
Works without signal
Rounds save on your device the moment you enter them, so the app keeps working in the middle of a course with no reception, then backs up when you are online again.
Your data stays yours
No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Export every round to CSV or JSON whenever you want, and delete any of it.

The benchmarks are published, so you can check them

Every figure in the app is your putting minus a benchmark golfer’s, so the benchmark is worth seeing. How many putts a scratch, 5, 10, 15 or 20 handicap takes from any distance, how often each holes a 6-footer, and where the data comes from: it is all on one page, generated from the same tables the app calculates with.

What your putting looks like after a few rounds

A putting average tells you almost nothing on its own: two-putting from 40 feet is good, and from 6 feet it is not. So the analysis page splits every first putt into distance bands and scores each one against your chosen benchmark. That turns a vague sense of putting badly into a specific answer, band by band.

Distance control gets its own measure too. For every first putt from 10 feet or farther, the app checks whether the ball finished within 10% of where it started: a 30-footer succeeds inside 3 feet, and a holed putt always succeeds. You see the successful and eligible counts, the rate and median leave overall and by distance, plus the same rate as a five-round trend.

The example below is a golfer who putts well from close in and holes about as many mid-range putts as a 10 handicap should, but gives most of it back from beyond 20 feet, nearly all of it to three-putts. That is a lag-putting problem, not a stroke problem, and it points at a completely different practice session than “work on putting” would.

The benchmark is yours to move. It is one setting for the whole app, not a label stuck on each round, so switching it from a 10 handicap to a 5 re-scores every round you have logged against that higher standard and shows you the gap. Your history stays comparable to itself either way, because it is always measured against one baseline rather than whichever one you happened to pick that month.

Sample rounds, shown to illustrate the charts. Not anyone’s real results. Strokes gained here is measured against a 10 handicap; in the app that is a setting you choose.

How it works

  1. 1. Start a round. Give it a date and, if you like, a course name. Pick the standard you want to be measured against once — scratch, or a 5, 10, 15 or 20 handicap — and every round uses it.
  2. 2. Enter each putt. On every green, tap in the distance you putted from. Two putts from 18 feet is two taps.
  3. 3. Read your strokes gained. The hole is scored immediately, the round total updates as you go, and it all lands in your history when you finish.
  4. 4. Look at the trends. After about five rounds the analysis page has enough to work with: the distance bands fill in and rolling averages appear for strokes gained, make rate, three-putts and 10% distance control, so you can tell a bad day from a real decline.

Accounts and signing in

If you use Google, the app receives your name, email address and profile picture, and uses them only to identify your account. Nothing else: no access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar or Contacts, and never your password. See the privacy policy for details.
