Personal Baseline Analyzer
Enter a current value and a baseline value for each metric you want to track, along with how many rounds each is built from. This tool shows the delta and both sample counts.
| Metric | Current value | Current n | Baseline value | Baseline n | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metric | Current | Baseline | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Score | not entered | not entered | not comparable |
Your own baseline, your own choice
There is no fixed definition of "baseline" here; it is whatever earlier stretch of your own play you choose to compare against, a prior season, the months before a swing change, or simply your first ten tracked rounds. This tool does not supply a default baseline or substitute a tour or handicap benchmark for the one you pick.
Why sample counts travel with every value
A current average built from three rounds and a baseline average built from thirty rounds are not equally trustworthy, even though both are single numbers. Showing both sample counts alongside every delta keeps that difference visible instead of implying the two periods carry equal weight.
A literal zero, not a missing value
If you enter a baseline of zero penalty strokes, this tool treats that as a real recorded value and computes a real delta against it. It is different from leaving a field blank, which this tool treats as not entered and excludes from the comparison entirely.
What this is not
This is not strokes gained against a tour or scratch-golfer population; it is a personal, self-referential comparison only. It also does not adjust for confounds like a course or condition change between your baseline period and now; that context is yours to bring to the interpretation.
Where this connects
Build the current side of this comparison from Short-Game Recovery Analyzer evidence, or use Round Comparison first if you want to look at two specific rounds rather than two broader periods.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a "baseline" in this tool?
Whatever earlier stretch of your own play you choose to compare against — a prior season, the months before a swing change, or your first ten tracked rounds. This tool does not supply a default baseline or substitute a tour or handicap benchmark.
Why does the tool show sample counts alongside every delta?
A current average built from three rounds and a baseline built from thirty rounds are not equally trustworthy, even though both are single numbers. Showing both sample counts keeps that difference visible instead of implying equal weight.
Is entering zero the same as leaving a field blank?
No. A baseline of zero penalty strokes is treated as a real recorded value with a real delta computed against it. Leaving a field blank is treated as not entered and excluded from the comparison entirely.
