I like this chart because it also shows the statistical relationship between each category and the strength of the relationship to scoring.
It tells me that I need to putt better as I'm already hitting 13+ GIR. It's not news, putting has been my weakness for decades.
Below is a table which summarizes some of the statistics that Riccio investigated. Where do you fit in with your game?
The last column indicates the strength of the statistical relationship between score and the statistic. A "Strong" relationship is one that predicts quite well one statisitic given the other (i.e. the SCORE given the GIR). A "Weak" relationship does not predict as well.
