What is your fairway percentage?

[David7]

I average 50-57% pretty consistently with my driver. Much higher with my 5 wood. When I do miss, it’s first or second cut to the right.

How many do you hit typically?

Fairway? Never heard of it

 

[LLIB]

The last two rounds have between 75 and 85%

 

[MGoBlue]

Right around 60% right now. Strangely the longer the hole the more I tend to hit the fairway.

 

[MtlJeff]

I don't have my percentages but I'd guess around 60%

 

[gkeller813]

Last year I was around 40% overall. I did change to a more forgiving driver and I've been over 50% since the switch.

Fairway. Is that the really short grass in the middle?

According to Shot Scope:

Fairway 69%
Left Rough 12%
Right Rough 9%
Bunker 5%
Penalty 6%

 

[Ronnie D]

Last year I ended the year at 57% this year I am hoping to beat that number as I shortened my driver and got fitted which I think will both help.

Shotscope tells me 45% for 2023, with 18 and 25% for left and right rough respectively.....

 

[Roadrunner]

Grint tells me I’m at 61% FIR.

 

[JPR1959]

Depends on who’s looking!!

 

[MonroeBob1955]

77% in 2024. 73% in 2023.

[kiwichris]

There's a % chance I hit it and a % chance I don't, what those numbers are a mystery at the moment.

 

[WMac19]

69% fairways hit.

18% missed right, 11% missed left, 2% missed long.

 

[Daddio]

Typical old man game. Fairly straight but not very long. I think Garmin uses last 10 rounds?

 

[dAS0]

I am flying high at 43%. On a good day. At least the misses are mostly in the rough that does not try to wrestle the club from my hands. Trying to hit that 50% mark this year.

FIR is one of my strengths
2022 I averaged 11.57 fairways (82.6%)
2023 I averaged 11.44 fairways (81.7%)
2024 in 1 round I hit only 9 (64.3%) - got to get on the range & put in some work

 

[OldandStiff]

Last 20 rounds. It was falling for a while, but has been back on the rise this year.

 

[GolferDad66]

what's a fairway? does that answer your question?

[PiratePenguin]

Only two rounds into the Darkspeed so far. Don't really care about fairway percentage. Care more about SG, which is currently 0.17 per drive.

 

[lester2]

In the 39 rounds I’ve played so far in ‘24, 64%. Misleading statistic for me, 80% of those scores were posted on my home course that has very narrow fairways. Played across town today and hit 86% on a course with much wider fairways.

 

[BuffaloPlunger]

Probably less than 50%. I don’t miss the fairway by much but it’s definitely something I want to work on
