Hello!

I'm Arnold, and I built VizGolf because I wanted a better way to track my own golf game. As an engineer and passionate golfer, I was frustrated with existing apps that were either too simple or overly complex.

VizGolf is my vision for the perfect middle ground: comprehensive tracking that you fill out after your round, giving you professional-level analytics without disrupting your game. I use it myself for every round I play, and I'm constantly adding features based on what I wish I had as a golfer.

This is a passion project built with a lot of love for the game. I hope VizGolf helps you understand your game better and, most importantly, enjoy golf even more.

How We Calculate

Handicap Index

USGA-compliant calculation using your best 8 of last 20 score differentials. We properly pair 9-hole rounds and apply course rating and slope to every score.

Greens in Regulation (GIR)

A hole is GIR if you reach the green in par minus 2 strokes or better. For example, reaching a par 4 in 2 shots or less (excluding putts).

Fairways in Regulation (FIR)

Percentage of driving holes (par 4s and 5s) where your tee shot lands on the fairway. Par 3s are excluded from this calculation.

Scrambling

Percentage of holes where you miss the green in regulation but still save par or better. A key measure of your short game prowess.
