How scoring works

Tour expected — ten putts

−3.78 SG

From the 10 putt drill, tour expected is 18.22. To post a positive SG score you will need to hole 2 of the 10 putts and finish inside the speed window with all other 8 putts. Each time the window is missed −0.2 SG is deducted from your score. The interactive scorecard in the web app calculates your score automatically.
