One shot.
Fifty things
you didn't see.

The band is not uniformly weak: the severe-curve tail appears on about one in six shots and costs roughly a stroke a round. Without that tail, your 150–200-yard approaches play nearly a stroke a round better, making curve control the clearest layer beneath the headline gap; the especially wide right-curving misses show where the largest individual damage sits.

Worth knowing: Curve size alone does not show whether the worst shots started off line or double-crossed, so the practice target is shrinking the severe tail—not forcing every shot into one shape.

What to do with it: Prioritize the severe-curve tail within this distance band before treating every 150–200-yard approach as equally broken.

Hooks and snap-hooks made up 10.81% of your approaches and cost 1.05 strokes per round. Removing that tail would recover 0.61 strokes per round. Slice and big-slice approaches cost 0.71 strokes per round, with 0.48 strokes per round available by removing that tail. So the priority is the damaging curve misses—especially the hook-family tail—not every shot that curves left.

Worth knowing: Curve alone does not show where the ball started—a pull-hook and a shot that starts right then hooks left need different fixes.

What to do with it: Prioritize reducing severe curve misses, starting with hooks and snap-hooks; use both start line and curve to diagnose them rather than treating every left-curving shot as the same problem.

A pop-up here means a skied strike — launched much higher than your normal tee ball with energy lost. It appears on about one in seven tee shots, and those holes play roughly a quarter-stroke worse than holes with your other strikes. If those swings performed like the rest of your tee-strike mix, about a quarter of a stroke per round comes back. It ranks behind the slice family because the total prize is smaller, but it is a distinct strike-quality target rather than another curve problem.

Worth knowing: Hole scores include everything after the tee shot, so some of the quarter-stroke gap may come from the holes or recovery shots rather than the pop-up alone.

What to do with it: Keep this behind the slice family in priority, but ahead of low-cost cosmetic misses.

The signal is smaller than the severe-curve story, but approaches in your key 150–200-yard band are worse when the wind is in your face. They make up only a small slice of the sample and appear to cost around a sixth of a stroke per round beyond the rest of that band, so this is a lead to watch rather than a planning anchor. Crosswind and downwind were checked separately; neither produced the same broad headwind pattern, and the miss direction is not yet stable enough to call under- or over-compensation.

Worth knowing: The score cost does not yet show whether headwinds are sending you short, long, left, or right, so it cannot tell you which adjustment to make.

What to do with it: Track more headwind approaches before moving this above the severe-curve approach priority.

This is not a course-only breakdown: round dispersion is only slightly different from the same distance band in practice, and the severe right-curve shape appears in both places. That makes the practice pattern useful evidence of the on-course miss, while the unreliable club mix means the distance band—not a named club—is the sound level to track.

What settles it: Round 150–200-yard approaches averaged 8.30 yards offline versus 7.62 yards in targeted practice, a 1.09× ratio.

How sure we are: Found by comparing situations your dashboard averages together. Real enough to track, not enough to call yet — the report will say when it firms up or fades.
