Golf Pros & Coaches

Transformative, Asynchronous, Performance Tracking

The Challenge You Face

Your students practice putting between lessons, but you have no visibility into their work. Did they actually practice? Are they improving? Which drills are working? Traditional coaching relies on weekly check-ins and student self-reporting—neither of which gives you the real-time data needed to maximize improvement.

Monitor your students progress over time, and foster competitive engagement among your entire coaching roster.

What You Get:

  • Student Visibility: See every putt classification with tools to run analytics and track improvement

  • Asynchronous Coaching

  • Group Competitions: Create leagues that keep your students engaged between lessons

  • Community Building: Connect your students through friendly competition and shared goals

Questions Coaches Ask

chevron-rightCan I see all my students' practice sessions?hashtag

Yes. Your admin dashboard shows every session, with full statistics and performance trends. Students only see their own data plus their direct referrer.

chevron-rightWhat if students don't practice consistently?hashtag

You'll see exactly who's practicing and who isn't. Use competitive leagues to drive accountability—students practice more when competing against peers.

chevron-rightHow do I get students to sign up?hashtag

Share your unique referral code. Students sign up in 2 minutes, download the app, and start practicing. They'll appear in your dashboard automatically.

chevron-rightCan I charge students separately for this service?hashtag

Yes. Many coaches bundle Proof of Putt subscriptions into their monthly coaching packages or sell bulk packages at a markup.

Makes per minute (MPM), accuracy percentage, best streaks, and practice frequency. We're building more advanced analytics based on pro feedback—your input shapes what we build.

chevron-rightHow do I create competitions for my students?hashtag
