What's Inside

Three pillars, every week

Original analysis from tour-level strokes-gained data, in the same three sections every week.

Every issue

Tournament Intelligence

Course breakdown, field strength analysis, key stats to watch, and which players' games fit the week. Weekend recap with strokes gained leaders and the numbers behind the result. Deep dives and stat of the week included.

Every issue

Practice Lab

One drill, one stat, one focus area. Structured practice based on strokes gained data — calibrated to your handicap range (0-10, 10-20, 20+). 15-minute and 45-minute sessions. Plus gear and tech spotlights when warranted.

Every issue

Course Fit

Which skills this week’s course rewards more than golf generally does, and how the field ranks on them. The same model the Lab runs, with the weights shown and the courses where it does not hold named.

Inside an Issue

You know exactly
what you're getting.

Every issue follows the same structure. Scan it in 5 minutes or go deep for 20.

  • Tournament preview with course-fit model scores
  • 3 players to watch (and the specific stat to track)
  • One practice drill mapped to your handicap range
  • Weekend recap with strokes gained leader breakdown
  • Stat of the week, with the context behind it
  • Gear spotlight only when something is worth covering

Three published research studies behind the methodology — a six-year calibration audit across 36,656 player-event records, a market-efficiency test against Pinnacle's closing line, and an eight-book vig comparison. Read them before you subscribe.

The research · read the studies →

The model enters Fantasy and Survivor every week on the same leaderboards as readers, and its card is published when entries lock. You can check its record against yours.

The model plays too · play against it →

Every claim comes with the number behind it. When the model misses, the recap says so and explains why. That standard doesn't change on bad weeks.

The method · how it works →

FAQ

Common questions

The whole newsletter. Every Tuesday: the tournament preview with course-fit scores, the strokes-gained recap of last week, players to watch, a practice drill for your handicap, and the Stat of the Week. There is no paid edition.
Lab Pro ($9.99/mo) is a set of tools inside the Lab: outrights and matchups priced against the model, DFS projections and a lineup builder, and player detail. It has nothing to do with the newsletter. The rest of the Lab, including Fantasy and Survivor, is free with an account, and every new account gets 14 days of Pro without a card.
Lab Notes lands every Tuesday morning, ahead of the week’s tournament.
Round-level strokes-gained data, PGA Tour ShotLink data, and our own course-fit model, which is built on seven seasons of rounds. The model page shows how it works and where it does not.
No. The newsletter needs only your email, and so does a Lab account. A card is only needed if you subscribe to Lab Pro.
Yes, from the link at the bottom of every email. If you have Lab Pro, you can cancel it from Account & billing in the Lab and keep access to the end of your term.
Every drill includes modifications for three ranges: 0-10, 10-20, and 20+. The strokes gained data behind each drill is calibrated to your level — what matters for a 5 handicap is different than what matters for a 20.
