Most golfers practice the same way regardless of what their game actually needs. They go to the driving range and hit drivers. They putt a few balls before a round. They occasionally chip into a practice net.
This isn't a training plan. It's habit. And for most golfers, it produces very little improvement.
The problem with generic practice
Golf instruction is full of generic advice. Practice your short game. Work on your tempo. Hit more fairways. These things aren't wrong — but they're not specific to your game. They don't account for the fact that your short game might already be your strongest area, or that your iron play has been consistently weak for the past three months.
Generic practice produces generic results.
What a data-driven training plan looks like
A training plan that's built on your actual game data looks different. Instead of spending an hour at the range hitting every club in the bag, you spend twenty minutes working on the specific weakness your last ten rounds have identified.
If your short game is consistently your weakest area, your training plan focuses on short game. If your putting has been getting worse over the past month, your plan addresses putting — with specific drills, not general advice.
How PostRound builds your training plan
PostRound tracks your performance across four areas — tee shots, irons, short game and putting — every time you log a round. Over time, it identifies which areas are consistently weak and builds a personalised training plan focused on exactly those areas.
The drills in your plan are connected to your actual data. They change as your game changes. If your short game improves, your plan shifts focus to the next weakest area.
The compound effect of targeted practice
When practice is directed at the right things, improvement compounds. Small gains in your weakest area have a bigger impact on your handicap than marginal gains in your strongest area.
