Golf Shot Distances Site

I used this mini project as a small explorative test into how far AI has developed inside Cursor so far, aiming to build the site I had in mind only writing prompts and avoiding writing any code myself.

The site is a simple visualisation of golf club distances including flat carry and roll, taking into consideration conditions and displaying them in a graph, with a CRUD functionality with the Google Sheets file behind it using their API. It is also a PWA to allow me to add it to my phone iOS home screen.

Firstly I learned just how powerful the integrated AI inside Cursor is and how impressively fast it can generate code. But as I got deeper into the project, the AI needed more and more specific prompts and often tried backtracking to re attempt fixes that were undesirable.

It also failed to cover many edge cases and tried to convince me it had them covered.

So overall it was a great experience but ultimately showed me that we still need people who understand coding to get good results out of prompting code.
