My personal best is a 74 (+2) that I shot at my home course in October last year
Since we have been allowed back to play again in the UK, I have shot between 79-85 at my home course with the length being anything from around 6,200 - 6,500 yards depending on where the tees are
I have also shot level par for 9 holes, so I know I have the ability to go low, I just need to pull it all together on the same day
Although I have never been one for stats, I have gone back to the spreadsheet with my scores on and pulled out the numbers from my Garmin watch for the rounds on my home course where I have recorded my score, and my averages from the rounds I have from 2019 to date are
Number of rounds recorded on my watch - 26
FIR - 52%
GIR - 46%
Putts - 33
At other courses where I have the stats recorded, the averages are
Number of rounds - 12
FIR - 51%
GIR - 37%
Putts - 31
The above stats are only for full 18 hole rounds where I have the information recorded on my watch, so there are rounds not counted in the above figures (including my PB from October annoyingly) so the numbers aren't a complete picture of my game from the last 18 months
I am fairly strict on myself when it comes to recording the fairways hit figure, as even if I am only slightly in the first cut, I will not count it as a fairway, and there have been times when I have ran through a fairway due to it being firmer than expected
My biggest issue at the moment for this year up to now is hitting greens - but a big part of that is I am not quite 100% confident in my swing yet, so I am tending to miss either short/long due to not being confident in my yardages yet, or missing left when the fade I have been hitting recently has not appeared and the ball has stayed straight on the line I started it on
Hopefully I will be able to get to the range near to me soon so that I can put the work in on my swing to get that bit of confidence back in my swing for the rest of the summer
