SENIOR GOLF \u00b7 MY SYSTEM \u00b7 AS OF JUNE 2026<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
THE TRULY NEW<\/div>\n

With its own data, AI goes from hype to tool<\/h2>\n

Three years ago, I would have needed a coach for my lap analysis. Today, I get a stroke-by-stroke analysis in 20 minutes \u2014 for free, anytime, as often as I want.<\/p>\n

The crucial difference compared to \u201eAI asks me for golf tips\u201d: I bring my own data. Garmin R10 CSV, Bebrassie export, Excel spreadsheets from three years. This turns a standard answer into an analysis of my specific weaknesses.<\/p>\n

Prerequisite \u2014 and this is the uncomfortable truth:<\/strong> Without its own data, AI in golf is just small talk. With its own data, it becomes a tool you have in your hand every day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
SIX APPLICATIONS<\/div>\n

What I do with AI specifically<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
USE CASE 01<\/div>\n

Round analysis<\/h3>\n

I export my Bebrassie round as a PDF, upload it, and get a shot-by-shot Strokes Gained evaluation. Example 06\/12\/2026 Wendlohe C: SG -2.23, PW as the biggest score killer with \u03a3 -2.90. Without AI: 2 hours of Excel. With AI: 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
USE CASE 02<\/div>\n

Range Data Analysis<\/h3>\n

4.063 R10 shots in an Excel file. Question for AI: \u201eWhich club has the smallest dispersion between 80 and 120 meters?\u201d Answer in 30 seconds: I8 with \u03c3 7.53 m over the last 4 weeks. This is how you find club specialists in your own pocket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
USE CASE 03<\/div>\n

Training Plan Generation<\/h3>\n

KW25 Plan fully generated from AI: Three training focuses derived from the Course-C round \u2014 PW distance control, Lag putts 4-8m, Course management water. 8 PowerPoint slides, ready in 15 minutes. Beforehand: a weekend of work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
USE CASE 04<\/div>\n

Weakness diagnosis<\/h3>\n

For three rounds in a row, the AI showed me: Pitching wedge is your biggest score killer (confirmed 3 times). I wouldn't have seen this with a coach \u2014 the AI objectively compares strokes gained across all clubs, without gut feelings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
USE CASE 05<\/div>\n

Pre-Round Strategy<\/h3>\n

Before the Wendlohe C+B on June 16: KI received my yardage book and my club distances and created a hole-by-hole cheat sheet with recommendations for each shot. Result: Fairway-in-regulation improved from 25 (%) to 57 (%). That\u2019s how data-driven course management works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
USE CASE 06<\/div>\n

Study research<\/h3>\n

USGA Distance Insights, TrackMan Reports, BJSM Sports Medicine: The AI reads the PDFs and filters out what is relevant for 75-90 mph swing speeds. This is how the magazine articles are created, without me having to sift through 200-page studies myself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
MY WORKFLOW<\/div>\n

In five steps to a robust analysis<\/h2>\n

For \u201enice output\u201d to become real improvement, discipline in the process is needed. This is how I proceed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n
01<\/div>\n
\n

Clean up data<\/h3>\n

CSV from R10, PDF from Bebrassie, Excel spreadsheet from three years. Before uploading: German decimal separators, meaningful column names, irrelevant rows removed. Garbage in, garbage out<\/strong> \u2014 this also applies to AI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
02<\/div>\n
\n

Ask specifically, not openly<\/h3>\n

\u201eAnalyze my round\u201d is garbage. \u201eCalculate Strokes Gained per shot against scratch, show the five weakest shots, derive three training focuses\u201d is an analysis. The prompt determines the quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
03<\/div>\n
\n

Review the answer critically<\/h3>\n

AI hallucinates. I double-check calculations with sample checks. For recommendations, I ask, \u201eWhat studies are you basing this on?\u201d\u2014and I check the sources. Trust is good, but sampling is better.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
04<\/div>\n
\n

Translate in training task<\/h3>\n

\u201ePW is too short\u201d isn't enough. \u201ePW distance control 80m: 30 shots in the 8m circle around 80m\u201d is an assignment. The AI helps with translation \u2014 but the assignment needs to become measurable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
05<\/div>\n
\n

Retest after 2\u20134 weeks<\/h3>\n

Pre-test, train, post-test. Has the \u03c3-variation decreased? Are the Strokes Gained better? Without re-testing, AI is just entertainment \u2014 with re-testing, it becomes an improvement tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
FOUR PROVEN PROMPTS<\/div>\n

What you can really copy<\/h2>\n

I've been using these four prompts for months. They aren't marketing; they provide real analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n
PROMPT 01 \u2014 ROUND ANALYSIS<\/div>\n

Stroke-by-stroke analysis with Strokes Gained<\/h3>\n
I am uploading the Bebrassie export of my 9-hole round. Please calculate the Strokes Gained against the Scratch baseline (Mark Broadie) for each shot. Show a table: Hole \u00b7 Shot \u00b7 Club \u00b7 Distance \u00b7 SG Value. Mark the five weakest shots. Derive three concrete training focus areas, sorted by score impact per 9 holes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PROMPT 02 \u2014 RANGE DATA<\/div>\n

Regret comparison by dispersion<\/h3>\n
Attached are my R10 range data (CSV, approx. 4,000 shots). Filter the shots with a carry distance between 80 and 120 meters. For each club, calculate: n, median carry, \u03c3 carry, \u03c3 side-to-side dispersion. Sort by smallest \u03c3 carry. Ranking: Which club is my specialist for this distance class?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
TRAINING PLAN<\/div>\n

Derive weekly plan from weaknesses<\/h3>\n
My three current weaknesses: 1. PW distance control 80m (\u03c3 14m), 2. Lag putt 4\u20138m (3-putt rate 40%), 3. Course management around water hazards (3 penalties last round). Create a weekly plan for Week 25 with 5 sessions of 60 minutes each. For each session: focus, drills, measurement, success criteria. Incorporate interleaved practice (no block training).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Study Research<\/div>\n

Sports Medicine for Senior Golfers Filter<\/h3>\n
I am uploading the USGA Distance Insights 2024 (PDF, 87 pages). Filter all statements relevant to players with a 75-90 mph driver swing speed. Ignore all tour pro data. Show: Statement \u00b7 Page \u00b7 Resilient or Correlation. Maximum 10 hits, sorted by score impact.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
