What's included

Two tools. One price. Everything you need.

Who it's built for

Is the Golf IQ Logbook right for you?

Built for golfers who believe improvement isn't random — it's a pattern waiting to be found in the data.

📉
The serious improver
You're not just playing for fun — you're working to drop your handicap. You need data that shows you exactly what's holding you back, not just your score.
📊
The data-minded golfer
You already know your GIR % and putts-per-round matter. You want a system that tracks those numbers over time and surfaces the patterns — not just records them.
🏌️
The competitive player
You play tournaments, club events, and group competitions. You want your competitive rounds tracked separately so you can see how your game holds up under pressure.
🤖
The AI-assisted practicer
You use AI tools for coaching feedback. The built-in AI prompts tab lets you paste your own round data and get personalized, data-specific improvement suggestions instantly.

And Looker Studio gives you professional-grade visualization for free, not buried behind a subscription.
