Practise putting like it counts

Sixteen drills, scored the way Nick scores them in a lesson. Every session kept, so the only thing you are measured against is yourself last month.

What you are buying

Three pillars, sixteen drills

Nick's drill cards, in your pocket, keeping score for you.

Train & maintain

The grooving work. Start line, stroke path, the things that stop being reliable the moment you stop checking them.

Skill development

Speed control and green reading under a bit of pressure, with a score at the end you cannot argue with.

Performance

Challenges that behave like a round: one ball, consequences, and a number to beat next time.

Where it comes from

The same drills, at the sharp end

These are not drills invented for an app. They are what Nick uses on tour practice greens, in championship weeks, with players whose season turns on a six-footer.

The scoring is his. The order the app checks your game in — start line, then speed, then green reading — is the order he checks it in standing next to you.

Two plans

The difference is Nick's time. The tools are the same; the coaching tier is where he looks at your stroke and writes your week.

Your coach

Nick Soto

The drills, the scoring and the order they are worked through are Nick's, taken from the system he coaches with. This page is about the app that carries them.

Questions

Before you join

Why do I pay on the website instead of in the app?

App stores take a cut of anything bought inside an app. Taking the subscription here keeps that money in the academy instead, which is why the app never shows a price at all.

Does it work without a phone signal?

Yes. That was the first thing built. Sessions are written to the phone as you log them and pushed up when you next have a connection — practice greens are not known for their reception.

What happens to my history if I cancel?

It stays on your account. Nothing is deleted when a subscription ends, so if you come back a year later your old sessions are still there to compare against.

Can I use it on more than one device?

You can sign in on any device, but practise on one. Sessions are written to the phone you log them on and pushed up from there — they are safe, and Nick sees them, but they do not yet come back down to a second handset. Stick to one phone and nothing is lost.

What is the difference between the two plans?

Nick's time. Performance is the whole app — every drill, tournament rounds, Strokes Gained, your full history. Academy Coaching adds the practice plan he writes for you and two short video reviews a month, so the numbers get read by the person who designed the drills rather than only by you.

How do I cancel?

Email us and it stops at the end of the period you have paid for. There is no minimum term and nothing to argue about.
