Concerning amateur golfers and approaches into greens. Wondering if anyone else put some time into analyzing their own trends and results and what might be some of the better comprehensive data studies available by professional sources? After reading quite a few assertations and reasons in here ('ams are 15 yards short all day' 'ams should hit more club' 'short misses are better than long' yada yada) I took it upon myself to see if that was really the case for me. Also kinda knew that the ams supposedly coming up short all day weren't the ones joining the skins games I play in, unfortunately, and we're just regular hacks ranging from 5ish-25ish.
After digging through my data (I'm an 11 or 12) my misses do tend to favor short, but just by a small amount, less if I account for shots that came up short because I caught a limb. But what did seem to prove out is the claim that short misses are less injurious to the score card than long misses are.
What have you all discovered if you've investigated your tendencies and results?
