Daily Post: Scoring Gains: Hit More Greens
According to Mark Broadie (who created the "strokes gained" metric and book ‘Every Shot Counts’)...
Approach shots account for the biggest scoring advantage between golfers of every skill level.
Check out the data...
From 150 yards;
PGA Tour pros hit half of these shots within 23 feet of the hole (and hit the green 77% of the time)
While 80-golfers average 40 feet (hitting 50% of greens)
And 90-golfers to around 55 feet (hitting just over 30% of greens).
Anything surprise you about the data above? Let me know in comments below,
And to help you hit more greens from 150 yards and in? Follow the points below
- Know your distances (Carry distances, NOT total)
- Play forgiving equipment
- Club up (most trouble is short)
- Have a consisent pre-shot routine
- Work on your low point control in practice
- Pick better targets, the middle of the green will help with your shot dispersion
There may be some obvious points above, but we golfers are quite good missing the obvious at times!
And if you need help with your approach play, technically or mentally, pop me a message so we can talk about it!
