6. Approach Shots

  • If aiming at the pin → no need to set a target, default is the flag.

  • If laying up or playing away → set an intended target for proximity analysis.

  • Fill in the same required and optional metrics as tee shots.

Green Result Options:

  • Green → On the putting surface

  • Easy → Chip likely inside 6 ft

7. On the Green: Putting Entry

When reaching the green, a putting window appears.

Data to Enter:

  • Distance → Adjust with +/– buttons for accuracy

  • Speed Result:

    • Past → Rolled beyond hole

    • SZ Past → Past but within Save Zone (2 ft radius, or 10% of distance if >20 ft)

    • Holed → Putt made

    • SZ Short → Short but within Save Zone

    • Short → Left short outside Save Zone

Optional Putting Metrics

  • Speed Ratio → Distance remaining ÷ putt length (inches short/long)

  • Break → Track by break type for drill-based improvement

  • Line → Missed Left, Right, or On Line

  • Slope → Categorize severity of break

  • Mental State → Very Poor → Excellent

  • If the result is anything other than Holed, the next putt entry will automatically appear.

8. Finish the Hole

Once all shots and putts are logged, select “Finish Hole” to move forward. Continue this process until the round is complete.

✅ Tip: Pro round entry takes longer but provides deep insights into dispersion patterns, mental performance, and situational stats — making it the most powerful way to use Upgame.
