Fall 2026 pilot program

Aftershot for
college golf.

Voice-first stats and mental-game instrumentation for your student-athletes — and a roster view for you.

There is no field on a scorecard for “never committed to it.”

Your short game saved the round.

The gap

You see it every day. Now you can prove it.

The player whose short game is technically sound but whose decision-making collapses when they're trying to make a number. The one who stood over it stuck between two clubs. The one whose legs were gone by fourteen. You sense these patterns. Until now, you couldn't show them — and “No I'm not, coach” ended the conversation.

Aftershot doesn't replace you or a sports psychologist. It's instrumentation.

From the athlete's own words
  • stuck between two clubs, went with the 7 instead of the 6Indecision
  • legs were gone by 14, just trying to get inFatigue
  • rushed it, didn't even pick a targetCommitment
For the student-athlete

Twenty seconds a hole. That's the whole app.

01

Tee it up.

Pick the course, hit start, put the phone away. No GPS dance, no tapping between shots.

02

Talk after the hole.

“Driver right rough, 7-iron to 18 feet, two putts.” Aftershot extracts every shot, club and outcome — and hears the second-guess, the rush, the tight grip.

03

Walk off knowing more.

A hole-by-hole story, strokes-gained against players at their level, and one honest answer to “what should I work on?”

No manual entry. No sensors on the clubs. Works offline. Any hole can be recapped later — at the turn, in the van, the next morning.

Aftershot round recap on iPhone — score, stats, and AI takeaways
What it captures

The shot and the head, in one breath.

The shot
  • Strokes-gained versus players at their level, not the Tour
  • Fairways, greens, putts, proximity, scrambling, lag
  • Trends across practice, qualifying and competition
  • Course and condition patterns players never notice
The head
  • Indecision — the club they didn't commit to
  • Fatigue — when the legs go and scores follow
  • Tension and tempo — tight over the ball, rushed swing
  • Frustration and commitment — from what they said

Scrambling is carrying you.Lag putting is leaking strokes.

Losing 1.8 strokes a round from putts beyond 30 feet. Distance control is the unlock.

Pick the club, commit, then step in.

For the coach

Every athlete on the roster, legible.

Coach note · Hole 3 · [Athlete]

Tight over it, quit on the tee shot. Second time this week.

Roster view

Every athlete's recent rounds, focus and trend before practice starts — not after twenty minutes of “so how's it going?”

Athlete profile

Patterns across practice, qualifying and competition, with the athlete's own words as the evidence.

Coach voice notes

Walk with a player, say what you see — “tight over it on 3.” Transcribed and tied to their profile: your observation next to their self-report.

Team patterns

What's showing up across the roster this month, and who needs a conversation.

The mental game module

A mental curriculum, built for players at your level.

A structured mental-performance program for top-level competitors, included in your program's platform. Sports-psychology staff is being cut across departments; this gives every athlete structured mental work, and gives you visibility into it.

  • Sessions on their own time

    “Everybody do your thirty minutes” — no one-on-ones required.

  • Surfaced when it matters

    A pattern shows up in their rounds; the right session shows up next.

  • Reflections tracked

    Athletes talk through how a session landed; you see the effect.

Felt really calm after that one. I need to do this the night before qualifying.

Your rules, your protocol

You decide when they talk.

01

After each hole

Ten seconds, then move on. “Dumped the chip, I'm pissed.” Logged. Next tee.

02

At the turn, or a slow tee

Catch up four holes at once while the group ahead clears.

03

After the round

Ten minutes in the van. They remember every shot — and it's a good mental review anyway.

Competition rounds

Phones stay away. Competitive rounds are logged after the round, consistent with NCAA and USGA rules. Compliance review is underway with a former Division I compliance director.

A low-risk way to start

Give it to the players fighting for the fifth and sixth spot — the ones qualifying every week. Leave your number one alone until you've seen what it does.

Your data

Athletes own it. You see it. Nobody else does.

The athlete owns their data

Every round, every note. They can export it or delete it at any time.

Coach access is program-scoped

You see the athletes on your roster. When an athlete leaves the program, your access to their data ends.

Never shared across programs

No other school, coach or player sees your athletes' data. Ever.

Anonymized in aggregate only

We use de-identified, aggregated data to improve the product. Never named, never sold, never used to compare programs.

Who we are

Built by a player, for players who want the edge.

Common questions

The stuff coaches ask first.

Do my players have to use their phones during a round?

No. You choose the protocol — per hole, at the turn, or after the round. Competition rounds are always logged afterward.

Does it replace our sports psychologist?

No. It's instrumentation. It gives you and your support staff the athlete's own words as evidence, and a structured mental curriculum athletes can work through on their own time.

Is it NCAA compliant?

Post-round logging is consistent with NCAA and USGA rules on devices during competition. Compliance review is underway; we'll share the findings with every pilot program.

What does the pilot cost?

Nothing through fall 2026. If it helps and you want to continue, a program licence for spring — expected at $5,000 per season.

Who sees my athletes' data?

You and the athlete. No other program, ever. Aftershot uses de-identified aggregate data to improve the product.

Android?

iPhone today; Android is on the roadmap.
