Club distance tracker and gap chart
Enter the carry for at least two clubs to see the gaps.
In the app your bag fills in from the shots you mark, and ParPar can use it when you ask for a club.
How it works
Step 1
Enter your carries
Type the average carry in yards for each club you play. Leave the rest blank.
Step 2
Read the gap chart
Clubs are ordered longest to shortest with the gap to the next club. Wide and tight gaps are marked.
Step 3
Fix the gaps
Adjust your set or your wedges, or track real shots in the app to replace guesses with your own numbers.
The method
Clubs are sorted from longest to shortest carry and each gap is the difference to the next club. A gap of 20 yards or more is marked wide, and 6 yards or less is marked tight. These thresholds are common coaching rules of thumb, shown so you can judge your own bag; they are not rules of golf.
Use carry, not roll-out, and average the shots you actually hit rather than your best ones.
Questions
- Carry or total distance?
- Use carry, the distance the ball flies before it lands. Total distance depends on the ground, which changes every day.
- What counts as a wide gap?
- We mark gaps of 20 yards or more as wide and 6 yards or less as tight. These are common coaching rules of thumb, not rules.
- Where do my numbers go?
- Nowhere. The chart is built in your browser and nothing is saved or sent.
