Dispersion shows where your shots tend to go relative to your target—left, right, or center—and how those misses affect your score.

It helps you understand both your accuracy and your miss patterns.

🔍 Overview

The overview highlights:

• Most common miss → the direction you miss most often
• Most costly miss → the direction that loses the most strokes
• Overall pattern → whether your shots are consistent or spread out
• Total SG impact → how much these misses affect your score

👉 A miss that happens less often can still be your biggest problem if it leads to penalties or difficult recovery shots.

📊 Direction Breakdown

This section shows how your shots are distributed:

• Left / Center / Right % → how often you hit each direction
• SG per shot → how costly each miss is
• Total SG → overall impact on your score
• Play % → how often the ball remains playable
• Penalties → how often misses lead to penalty strokes

👉 This helps separate frequency from severity.

⚠️ Risk & Penalty Analysis

Not all misses are equal. This section highlights:

• Which direction leads to the most penalties
• How many strokes those mistakes cost

👉 Avoiding high-risk misses often improves scores faster than improving accuracy alone.

🧠 Pattern Detection

Dispersion patterns describe your shot tendencies:

• One-way miss → mostly missing on one side
• Two-way miss → missing both left and right
• Center rate → how often you hit your intended line
• Dispersion width → how tight or wide your shot pattern is

👉 A tighter pattern is generally more predictable and easier to manage.

🔗 Connection to Performance

• Wider dispersion usually leads to more missed fairways/greens
• Certain miss directions may lead to more difficult lies or penalties
• SG values show how each direction contributes to your total score

🎒 Club Breakdown

See how dispersion changes by club:

• Some clubs may have wider patterns
• Others may show a consistent miss direction

👉 This helps identify which clubs need the most attention or adjustment.

⛳ Course Strategy

Use dispersion to make smarter decisions:

• Aim away from your most costly miss
• Favor the side where misses are safer or more playable
• Adjust targets based on your typical shot pattern

👉 Good strategy can reduce lost strokes without changing your swing.

📈 Trend Over Time

Track how your dispersion evolves:

• Changes in miss direction frequency
• Improvements in accuracy (center rate)
• Trends in scoring impact (SG)

👉 This helps you see if practice and adjustments are working.

💡 Key takeaway
Dispersion is about more than accuracy—
it shows where you miss, how often, and how much it costs.

Improving dispersion—or managing it better—can significantly lower your scores.
