I was reading another site & found some interesting stats based upon handicap. Below is the avg distance to the pin from 150 yards & % of 3-putting.
The article then notes that to improve scoring a golfer needs to:
1) Know what your true carry distances are. The article that 99% of golfers overestimate there carry distance. I think it is easy to base your carry distance off optimal shot vs avg shot.
2) Understand conditions like how (1) wind, (2) elevation, (3) temperature, etc affect distance
3) Work/practice to hit the center of the club face
4) Understand face to path relationship
I think I am getting better at #s 1 & 2.....#3 & 4 are still a work in progress.
Any thoughts?
Let’s examine three-putting trends for 80, 90, and 100 shooters based on findings:

Let’s examine three-putting trends for 80, 90, and 100 shooters based on findings:
- 80 Shooters have about a 25 percent chance of three-putting when the ball is 43 feet from the hole.
- 90 Shooters have about a 25 percent chance of three-putting when the ball is 32 feet from the hole.
- 100 Shooters have about a 25 percent chance of three-putting when the ball is 26 feet from the hole.
