Enter a par 4, your handicap, and your drives. The model scores the hole for you: what you can expect to shoot, how that compares with a typical golfer at your handicap, the shortest drive that keeps you even, and whether driver or your backup club is the play.
The benchmark line is modeled: the model's own expected score at your tier's average drive, calibrated to published Shot Scope aggregates.
Set your hole and your numbers
Every value below updates live as you move the sliders or change handicap.
The driver's own carry plus roll.
36 yd is the published Stagner anchor; other widths are modeled geometry.
5-wood and 7-wood use the hybrid dispersion rung, the closest published anchor.
That club's own distance, not your driver's.
Every distance here is the named club's own. The model never rescales what you type.

The curves already price the lie mix above into every expected score. OB odds enter only through the break-even line: how much more often the driver would have to find OB, over the backup club's own OB risk, before the driver stops being the play.
