Roster (Golf Coaching)
In golf coaching, a roster is the full list of active students a coach manages together in a shared system, enabling individual progress tracking and group pattern analysis across all players simultaneously.
A data-driven roster goes beyond a simple list: each student’s strokes gained categories accumulate from their logged rounds, giving the coach a live view of who has the biggest current leak, which category is a shared weakness across the group, and whose progress has stalled. This triage replaces the mental overhead of reconstructing each player’s situation from lesson notes.
PinFlag for coaches is built around the roster model. See how to track multiple golf students at once for the full workflow.
