The Club Sequencer is a powerful tool that can be added to various trackers for a topic or task in your practice sessions. When there is a need to randomly select a club or hit specific clubs in a particular order then the Club Sequencer is what you should use.
The Accomplishment Tracker is one of the trackers that supports the Club Sequencer. If you are a Premium subscriber and can create your own custom practice topics, you can add the Club Sequencer to a tracker that supports it by first navigating into it from the tracker's configuration screen. The image below shows where this is with the Accomplishment tracker. It is the cell labeled "Club Sequencing" shown below.
After tapping on that cell, you are navigated into a blank screen with an "Add Phase" button. Tapping the "Add Phase" button will present a menu of possible phases to add, as shown below.
The choices are as follows:
- Random -- The sequencer will select a random club (excluding any Putters) from whatever your active bag is at the time you run the practice topic in a session.
- Random: Iron -- The sequencer will select a random Iron from whatever your active bag is at the time you run the practice topic in a session.
- Random: Wedge -- The sequencer will select a random Wedge from whatever your active bag is at the time you run the practice topic in a session.
- Bag -- The sequencer will select a random club (excluding any Putters) from a specific bag (that is not necessarily your active bag) at the time you run the practice topic in a session.
- Placeholder Club -- The sequencer will select a club from your active bag that is of the specified type if one of that type exists in the active bag.
- Specific Club -- The sequencer will select a very specific club in your list of clubs, even if it is not within any bag.
After selecting a phase, that phase is added to the sequence and defaults to repeat infinitely. In other words, for each ball that you hit with a tracker, it will simply select a random club from the bag for the next ball to hit and do this for each ball for the duration of the practice topic.
This example image shows what the sequencer looks like when the "Random" phase is chosen. From here you can delete the phase with the Trash button, add another phase with the "Add Phase" button, or change the repetition from infinity to a fixed value using the "Repeat" button.
In the next image, another phase was added of the type "Placeholder Club", specifying a 7-iron. At the moment, this new phase is not reachable because the previous phase is configured to repeat infinitely. If the intent is to select a random club from the active bag (1 or more times, but not forever) and then hit a 7-iron, then change the Repeat phase of the first phase.
The next image shows how the sequencer appears when the first phase is modified to repeat 3 times. Notice how now the 7 Iron phase (phase 2) is reachable. With this configuration, a random club will be selected from the active bag for the first 3 balls hit and then, for all ball afterwards, only the 7 Iron will be chosen.
You can add any number of phases to the sequencer. No limit is imposed. The next image shows a sequencer configured with 5 phases. During a practice session, this sequencer will select the following clubs in this order for you:
- Random club from active bag 3 times,
- "7 Iron" 2 times,
- Random wedge from active bag 1 time,
- "Driver" 1 time,
- Random iron from active bag for all balls for the rest of the session.
Finally, if you configure the last phase in the sequencer to not repeat infinitely, during the practice session the sequencer will loop back to the beginning and start the sequence over for you. In this final image, the 5th phase was modified to only select a random Iron 2 times. After that, it will loop back to the beginning and start again by selecting 3 random clubs from the active bag.
You can use the Club Sequencer to empowers yourself to create very sophisticated practice structures. Common use cases include complete randomization of what club is used, walk up and/or down your bag, or even "play" holes on the range using your clubs in the same order that you'd expect to use them on the course.
