Gross Scoring Trend

What does a gross scoring trend tell me?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Your gross scoring trend in golf shows how your actual scores (before handicap) are changing over time. It indicates:

  • Consistency: Are you regularly scoring around the same number?

  • Improvement or decline: A downward trend means you’re improving; upward means you’re slipping.

  • Form: It can reflect whether you’re currently playing well or struggling, regardless of your handicap.

It’s a good snapshot of your raw performance.

Scorecards are only used if they comply with your set filters. Please refer to this guide.

How its calculated

The gross scoring trend is calculated by taking the gross score from each scorecard within the selected lookback period and plotting them in order. We then apply a linear regression to show the overall direction of your scoring—whether it’s trending up, down, or remaining steady. This gives a clear, data-driven view of how your raw performance is evolving over time.

Lookback period

You can also customise the lookback period for your gross scoring trend, choosing to analyse your last 5-50 scorecards. This flexibility lets you focus on short-term form or take a broader view of your long-term consistency. A shorter range highlights recent improvements or slumps, while a longer period gives a more stable trend.
