Simulator export guide

Turn a Square session into one Divot Card.

Use a shot-level Square Golf export so DivotData can detect the pattern, show the evidence, assign one practice block, and tell you how to retest the same setup.

Current beta status

Square Golf

Needs validation

Best upload

Native export or GSPro CSV

File types

.CSV, .XLSX, .TXT

Confidence boost

Club, carry, offline, launch, spin

Mechanical proof

Needs impact data or coach review

DivotData reads shot rows, not summary screenshots. Missing optional metrics lower confidence instead of breaking the flow.

What to upload

Shot-level data works better than summary reports.

Use Square Golf Home Edition shot data exports where available, or export through GSPro when Square is the connected launch monitor.

Compatibility note: GSPro is currently the cleaner export path when available.

Who this is for

Home simulator golfers who want a practical answer to what changed today and what to practice next.

What improves confidence

Clear club labels, one row per shot, carry or total distance, offline/deviation, launch, spin, shot order, and a matched retest.

Export steps

Prepare the file before you upload.

Use the cleanest export path available. If the source only gives a table, copied rows can still be useful.

  1. 1Open the Square Golf Home Edition app or PC software.
  2. 2Open Driving Range, Practice, or the saved session area.
  3. 3Select the session with the shot data you want.
  4. 4Use Export CSV, Share, or Download if the option is available.
  5. 5If you were using Square through GSPro, use GSPro Practice Range > clipboard icon > Export CSV instead.
  6. 6Return to DivotData and use the upload box at the top of the page.
  7. 7Drop the exported file on the upload box or click Choose files. If your source only shows a table, paste the copied rows into Paste Table Text.

Click-by-click walkthrough

Use Square Golf software data, or export through GSPro.

Square Golf publishes official software screenshots for driving range and analysis views. I could not verify a stable official native CSV export walkthrough, and the older PDF manual URL currently returns 404, so GSPro is the cleaner documented CSV path when Square is connected there.

  1. 1Official software screenshot

    Open Square Golf range data

    Open the Square Golf Home Edition app or PC software and go to Driving Range, Practice, or the saved-session area.

    Note: Square's official software screenshots show practice and range data, but not a public native CSV export control.

  2. 2Official analysis screenshot

    Review analysis data

    Select the saved session or analysis view and confirm the shot metrics are visible.

    Note: Visible analysis is useful for checking quality. DivotData still needs exported rows or copied table text.

  3. 3Documented bridge: GSPro

    Export through GSPro if connected

    If Square is connected to GSPro, open GSPro Practice Range, click the clipboard, then Export CSV.

    Note: GSPro has the official CSV screenshots and is the safest documented Square-to-DivotData bridge today.

  4. 4Next click: DivotData upload box

    Upload to DivotData

    Return to DivotData, choose Square for Square-native rows or GSPro for GSPro-formatted CSV, then upload the file.

    Note: Keep Square-native and GSPro exports separate so source detection stays clear.

    No fixed screenshot

    This screen can vary by device, operating system, or account state. Follow the note and choose the option that produces a CSV or other shot-level table file.

Official sources: Square Golf software, GSPro Practice Range CSV. Labels and DivotData notes are written for the upload-to-card workflow.

Data quality tips

  • Use club markers when you need club path and attack angle.
  • Keep Square-native and GSPro exports separate so source detection stays clear.

What this cannot prove alone

  • Square's public user manual documents the measured shot data but does not publish a stable CSV click path.
  • GSPro is the safer export path when Square is used as a GSPro launch monitor.
  • Launch-monitor data can detect patterns, but exact swing mechanics still need richer context, strike data, or coach review.

Sample proof

The upload is only useful if it becomes a focused card.

A Divot Card should show pattern detected, evidence, confidence, likely focus, what not to chase, the practice block, and a matched retest protocol.

Coach-style note

The ball-flight pattern is clear enough to practice, but the exact mechanical cause should stay a hypothesis until a coach or impact evidence validates it.
