College Golf Lineup Optimization.
Who gives your program the best chance to post a winning team score this week? We model the answer — using strokes-gained profiles, course fit, recent form, and simulation — so you can make the call with the numbers behind you.
The problem with gut-feel lineups
Lineup decisions in college golf still get made mostly on qualifying rounds and feel. That works when your top five are obvious. It doesn't when you're choosing between three players for the last spot, a course punishes a particular shot shape, or a hot freshman is suddenly pushing a senior. The cost of a wrong call — one spot in the team score — often decides tournaments.
How lineup optimization works
For each player on your roster we build a strokes-gained profile from available rounds (Clippd, Scoreboard, Golfstat, Arccos). Then for each tournament venue we model which skills the course rewards and simulate thousands of lineups to find the five most likely to beat your rivals in head-to-head team scoring — not just the five with the lowest season average.
- Strokes-gained profiles for every player on the roster
- Course-fit scoring against the venue's demands
- Head-to-head team simulation vs. your key competitors
- Recent-form weighting so a hot player isn't buried by a slow start
- Clear output your staff can read in 60 seconds on a Monday morning
Who this is for
Head coaches and assistants at Division I, II, III, NAIA, and JUCO programs who are tired of second-guessing their five on Sunday night. Works as a one-off postseason study or as part of a season retainer with course prep and recruiting.
Email me with your program and we'll scope a pilot — often a single tournament — so you can see the output before committing further.
