It's a coaches only feature. But you can back it out if you track scoring differential for long enough.

Yes it's in a coaches subscription. That said you can back out a lot of what you need for your child if you know their scoring average, their scoring differential, and the tournaments they've played in. In general, you want to get the scoring average between 72-74, if they're shooting in that range but they don't have scoring differential around -3 or -4 then the tournaments need to get harder. Otherwise you need to put 99% of the effort into lowering the scoring average. Hope that all makes sense!

@@connorspeterson Thank you, that illuminates things and it does make sense. Want to add that I look forward to your videos here. By "tournaments need to get harder" I understand you to mean that, (1) the courses (tees) need to be longer (length is the main factor in course ratings, it's my understanding that JGS doesn't use slope in determining differential, unlike your GHIN) ; and/or, (2) you need to play in stronger strength of field tournaments since that constitutes 25% of the ranking. Did I get that right?

You're pretty close. Course rating is the metric you'd look at for "difficulty of tournament", slope is only applicable for bogey/higher handicap golfers - it reflects things like forced carry's that aren't relevant for better players. Like you said though, course rating is highly correlated with longer golf courses. An example would be the par 3s are all 200+ yards and there's water around the green - that's just hard for everyone so it'll be reflected in both course rating AND slope. JGS is using course rating when it creates the scoring differential (technically it's the top 75% of scores rather than 100% but it's also not 20% like GHIN - which is why I don't like handicap as an evaluation of performance for elite golf). All that said, you don't really want to start doing calculus on which tournaments to play in around that, priority one is get the scores down, once the scores are around 72-74 then you shouldn't have any problem getting into AJGA events and other elite stuff like the Junior PGA, US Junior, Junior Worlds, etc. and at that point you don't really need to worry about course rating anyway since they're all hard courses. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

I only work with junior golfers but the principles are the same. If you're a 14 handicap you're probably best spending your time reducing your penalty rate off the tee by developing one exclusive shot shape, reducing 3 putts per round by making sure you're solid inside 5 feet and lag putting from 20, 30, and 40 feet, and then making sure you hit the green on your next shot if you miss the green (so no 2 chips). If you do those 3 things you're going to shoot lower scores. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! That is good advice

So my typical student is 10-16 years old with the goal of playing D1 golf so to be totally honest I don’t work with that age group much at all. All the principles I talk about in terms of scoring will still work for them, but typically the challenge at that age is the maturity of the player being able to do what they know and they need to do. 10-16 the problem is more often they’re already playing in tournaments, trying to improve but they don’t know how or what they are doing isn’t working so there’s where I can be really helpful. So for the 7-10 age group, it’s pretty simple, encourage them to play the game if they like it, don’t have crazy expectations of them, maturity is going to be all over the map so don’t compare them to other kids. Spend the time making there fundamentals solid and consistent and then once they’re older you can start to dial in practice & stat tracking. Hope that all makes sense!

@@GR3-i1g I’ll do my best to slow it down haha. I don’t oppose it but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to do it either. It’s good for them to have a social media just to pass the sniff check if they’re being recruited. See some swings, results, stuff like that. But I wouldn’t be stressing over creating a profile and those slide show things. I would primarily focus on ranking and lowering their scoring differential over time. It’s going to be really hard to not get recruited with a scoring differential of -3 or so.

@ Thanks so much! Really appreciate your content. I’ve used your “golf formula” to predict expected score over/under par to help my own game as an adult. I’ve limited my penalties off the tee and 3 putts to shoot my PR recently!

@ hell yeah! 💪🏻

@@Noelle-o4w so here’s the unpopular answer. If the goal is D1 golf, if you’re not comfortable qualifying for Open events, there’s not much value in playing in them. It’ll be expensive and you won’t be very competitive in the actual event. My advice would be to focus on bringing your scoring average down and getting comfortable with the distances the Ajga events will be played at. You’ll want to have a tournament scoring average around 77 or better to have a high probability of qualifying for an open event (if you have roughly 3 attempts). In the meantime, play in other ranked tournaments, focus on lowering your scoring average and then make the jump when you’re ready. It’s all about prioritizing what’s best for where you’re at rather than something as simple as just play in AJGA events. Hope that makes sense!

@@woosmiley1 yes, technically the way I’m measuring this is through scoring differential so that adjusts for the length of course. At lot of the time younger kids will shoot in the 70s pretty early but the courses are shorter. The majority of their scores lowering will come from long courses after that rather than lower scores.

@@eddielee1307 no doubt!

@@eddielee1307 it’s not a public access feature, you can back it out though if you know where your scoring differential was a year ago vs today since that’s all public.

@connorspeterson thank you. I am a subscriber but still not available for access?

@@eddielee1307 I believe the specific feature is limited to coaches. What data are you trying to pull out?

@@connorspeterson trend view from the last year for our son? Lakota lee hawaii class of 2028

@@eddielee1307 4.15 shots over the last year, well done! Looks like his scoring average is about 75.52, so he’s got about ~3 shots he can gain before he’ll hit diminishing returns (it’s hard to get below 72 as a scoring average) and y’all will want to look at making tournaments more difficult assuming his goal is D1. Also make sure yall have a plan and know which levers to pull to keep seeing his scores come down, 80-75 is way different from 75-72.

@@ChasinAcesGolf-rt8do TUGR looks like a cool tool, it also looks like it ranks everyone who’s ranked on JGS so I would look at JGS primarily and if you’re fishing for more data like maybe you’re ranked but don’t know your scoring average then look at TUGR. I’ll have to do a little more research to see how accurate it is. At the end of the day you just want to be able to evaluate how good you need to be to play at the college you want to. Hope that makes sense!

@@mrbzliteyear yeah mean there’s always going to be some overlap in where players ultimately choose to go. In general though those top D3 players could’ve likely gone to mid tier D1 programs but choose not to for different reasons, usually academic. 100% agree on the amateur tournaments, definitely breaks some belief barriers regarding what it takes to shoot lower scores.

@@ancoiglesias good to connect! And no worries, I have decent ability this week except for my wedding anniversary which is Wednesday. If you want to grab a time on my calendar to chat you can do that here: connorspeterson/evaluation-call Let me know if you have any trouble grabbing a spot!

Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼

Glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely! 👊🏼

Yeah absolutely!

It’s proprietary, but the short answer is a lot of math and personal testing 🙂

Thanks. I could tell it was a form of predictive modeling but wasn’t sure if it was based on someone’s published paper or something draw more circles was doing. The personal testing is definitely important for refining.

@@StevenFoster-ko8dk yeah it’s my own modeling. It comes down to getting something that’s predictive enough to get you close but also tells you what to work on, not just tons of data. Took me a while to build.

We use predictive modeling at my job so I know how hard it is to increase accuracy without having too many variables. Great job putting that together.

They are very similar haha

No doubt!

glad you enjoyed it! definitely have more coming down the pipeline 👊
