The coaching playlist

Videos matched to the three issues costing you the most.

AVA Golf reads your rounds and sessions, finds the three issues costing you the most strokes, and recommends the coaching videos for each one. You do not have to browse. The playlist arrives already in order, and it changes as your data does.

A coaching video frame from the AVA Golf library

Personalized progression

The playlist follows the data

Four steps between a synced round and the first video, none of them a search box.

  1. 01

    Your data comes in

    Rounds from a watch or app, sessions from a launch monitor or sim. One scale for both: strokes gained against a scratch baseline.

  2. 02

    AVA finds your three issues

    Not the ugliest stat, the most expensive one. Every shot is priced, and the three patterns costing the most strokes become your issues.

  3. 03

    The issues are ranked

    Ordered by the strokes each one gives back, so the top of the list is the one thing to work on this week and the other two are already waiting.

  4. 04

    Videos are matched to each issue

    Coaching videos from the roster are recommended against each of the three, in order. The next sync re-prices the issues, and the playlist moves with them.

This week

Then someone shows you how to fix it

Finding the leak is half of it. Here is the other half against one real round: four videos, in the order that gives back the most strokes.

This week Off the tee — 2 of 7 fairways, and the approach bill behind it −2.6

Finding the short grass off the tee

Matched because you hit 2 of 7 fairways. Everything the approach numbers below cost you started here, on a lie you did not choose.

The long approach from a bad lie

Matched because ten of your sixteen approaches were played from rough, and the 225+ yard band cost −2.7 on its own.

Playing the number, not the yardage

Two approaches this round flew roughly fifty yards past the distance you were playing to. Your watch measures total distance, ball to ball — this is the session that reconciles it with the card.

A range session with a scorecard

The drill that closes the loop: a structured block you can log, so next week AVA can tell you whether it worked.

Matched, not browsed

The playlist follows the data

Videos are selected against the issues your own data exposed. You do not have to search a library and guess which one applies to you.

It moves

Next week is a different plan

When the most expensive thing in your game stops being the most expensive thing, the playlist changes to whatever is.

Included

Part of the one price

Videos from the coaches are part of the $25 a month, not an add-on.

What it is not

The coaching playlist + AVA Golf

How a video library becomes a plan

Three issues, not thirty stats

A dashboard hands you every number and leaves the priority to you. Thirty stats, each of them true, none of them saying which one to act on first. Most golfers pick the one that looked worst on the last hole they remember.

AVA Golf prices every shot in strokes gained and hands you the three patterns costing the most. Everything else is still there, but it is not in the way. The three issues are the plan, and the rest of the data is the evidence behind it.

Matched, not browsed

A search box asks you to diagnose yourself. Most golfers diagnose the fault that annoys them, not the one that costs them, and the video they find is aimed at the wrong thing from the first minute.

Strokes gained settles the argument, and the playlist is built from the answer. Each of the three issues gets the videos that address it, in the order that gives back the most strokes. The library stays open; the playlist is where to start.

A progression, not a feed

When the most expensive thing in your game stops being the most expensive thing, the plan has to change. A static list of videos cannot do that, and a feed that keeps serving more of the same is not a plan either.

Each sync re-prices the issues and rebuilds the playlist, so what you watch is aimed at the current leak. The next round or session then tells you whether the fix held, in the same strokes gained that found the issue in the first place.

Questions

Can I watch any video I want?

Yes. The full library is open to every member. The playlist is where to start, not a wall.

How often does my playlist change?

Every time new rounds or sessions sync. If an issue moves, the playlist moves. If it does not, the plan holds and the next video in the sequence comes up.

What are "three issues"?

The three patterns in your data costing you the most strokes right now, priced in strokes gained across rounds and sessions. Videos are recommended against each of them.

How long is a video?

Three to five minutes. Each covers one fault and the drill for it.

Are these the same videos as your YouTube channel?

No. The coaching videos were created specifically for AVA Golf and are only inside the app.

Do I need a device?

One connected source: a Garmin or Arccos round, a Golf Pad round, a launch-monitor CSV, or a Handicap Index. Without data there is nothing to match against.

Do the coaches cost extra?

No. Coaching videos are included in the $25 a month, no per-video charges.

Who are the coaches?

Instructors on the AVA Golf roster, most recognized on the Golf Digest, Golf Magazine Top 100 or LPGA Top 50 lists. Each has a verified credential on the coaches page.
