PDI, the Player Development Index, is your personal roadmap to lower scores. PDI is NOT just another ranking or stats program. It's a comprehensive measurement system that empowers golfers to take control of their development, quantify golf improvement beyond scoring average, and achieve peak performance. The DNA of PDI is a 45-minute assessment of your golf skills, physical skills, mental skills, and scoring skills for a complete picture. This assessment should be repeated regularly to measure progress. Whether you have a Coach guiding your assessment, or you are leveraging the Self-guided method, the PDI app provides access to a results report. The report is chock full of insights on the leading indicators of what’s enabling your golf game strengths, and the root causes of your weaknesses.

Read full description

Stop hitting balls without a plan. Most golfers show up to the range, grab a bucket, and swing until it's empty — with no real idea whether any of it made them better. NextRep Coach replaces that with structure. HOW IT WORKS • Take a quick assessment across every part of your game — driving, irons, short game, and putting • Get a custom drill plan built around where you actually need work • Work through structured reps at the range instead of guessing what to hit next • Track your score in each area — from Weakness to Average to Strong — so progress is something you can see, not just something you hope for • Build a practice streak and watch your 8-week projection as you stick with your plan Whether you're trying to break 100 for the first time, chasing 90, or just tired of guessing at the range, NextRep gives every session a purpose. No tour-level data, no jargon — just structure that meets your game where it is. Download NextRep Coach and turn practice into progress.
