Tried to cut the corner on the dogleg, pulled driver into the trees.
Punched out sideways, chunked the third. Down the left side next time.

Three-putted from 8 feet. Mental collapse after the drive caught the rough.

Lost two balls in the hazard. Should have laid up off the tee.Use yips notes <id> to pull notes for a single round.
Add --json to get structured output — each note includes hole number, par, yardage, hole index, score, and score vs par. Enough context for an AI to find patterns across months of rounds:
yips notes --json | claude "what patterns do you see in my double bogeys or worse? what should I focus on?"Flags & options
| Flag | Commands | Description |
|---|---|---|
--profile <slug> | round, stats, clubs | SG benchmark profile. Valid slugs: tour_pro, scratch, hcp_5, hcp_10, hcp_15, hcp_20, hcp_25. Default: tour_pro. |
--estimate | round, stats | Fill GPS-missing distances from hole yardage and club averages so partial holes still show a split. Estimated cells are marked with ~. |
--json | notes, clubs, holes | Emit raw JSON for piping into other tools. |
--course <name> | notes | Filter by partial, case-insensitive course name. |
Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
YIPS_TOKEN | — | Google ID token; bypasses stored credentials. |
YIPS_API_URL | https://api.theyips.app | Override the API base URL. |
Pipe it anywhere
Every command that accepts --json outputs clean JSON you can pipe into anything — a spreadsheet, a script, or an AI.
