Personalised golf improvement

Find the biggest leak in your game and fix it.

I cut my handicap from 34 to 9 by fixing one leak at a time. Trail Golf applies that system to your game.

The system

The one thing that changes everything

You have a number. A score you want to break, a handicap you want to hit. And you know it’s in you.

But with so many things you could work on, it’s hard to know where to start. So you spread your effort, skim the surface – and end up repeating the same results.

The truth is, there’s one leak that’s costing you more than anything else. Find it. Fix it. Move to the next.

That’s how you lower your scores. And it’s what Trail Golf will help you do.

01

Find your biggest leak

The area of your game that’s costing you the most, round after round.

02

Plug it

Focused, purposeful practice sessions that plug your biggest leak.

03

Move onto the next

When that area has improved, it’s onto the next. Always working on the right thing.

When you stop trying to fix everything and start fixing the one thing that matters most, something shifts.

Your practice has purpose. Your confidence grows. Your scores follow.

My story

34 to 9 in a year

After getting my first handicap of 34 in 2021, I set myself the goal of reaching single figures within a year.

But with so much to improve, I had no idea where to focus first. And I quickly realised that spreading my effort across everything wasn’t moving the needle.

So I fell back on what I knew. Before golf took over my life, I spent years building products at tech startups in London and San Francisco – always using data to find where things weren’t working and fix them one at a time.

I applied the same thinking to my game. Where was I losing the most shots? What would have the biggest impact if I fixed it first?

One by one, I found the leaks. Worked on them. Moved to the next.

A year later I was a 9. Now I’ve built it so you can do the same.

Trail Golf

Your game. Your leaks. Your plan.

Trail Golf is a personalised improvement platform built around one idea: the fastest way to lower your scores is to stop guessing and start working on what your data actually tells you.

Step 01

Log your rounds, hole by hole

After each round, you log your scores. For the holes where you dropped shots, Trail Golf asks a few simple questions to find the root cause – not just what went wrong but why.

Step 02

See your biggest leaks

From your rounds, it surfaces the patterns costing you the most – the areas that would have the biggest impact on your scores. The more rounds you log, the smarter it gets.

Step 03

Get a plan that adapts

It builds you a targeted practice plan based on your leaks. Session by session, drill by drill – you’re always working on your biggest opportunity. When your primary leak improves, your plan moves to the next priority.

It’s not a generic plan. It’s not telling you to change your swing. It shows you what will lower your scores – based on your data.

They stopped guessing. Their scores followed.
