Your Stats 📊
Every number here comes from your actual Shot Scope data. Each stat is compared to what a scratch (0 handicap) golfer looks like. Green = you're there. Yellow = close. Red = biggest opportunity to improve.
Off the Tee
Out of every 10 tee shots, how many land in the fairway (the short grass in the middle)? Your number: you hit the fairway 5 out of every 10 tee shots.
When you start a hole from the fairway, you get a clean shot at the green. From the rough, the grass grabs your club and makes it much harder to control the ball. More fairways = more chances at pars and birdies.
You're hitting 50% of fairways — about 5 out of 10. The good news: your misses are perfectly balanced (23% left, 23% right), which means there's no consistent swing flaw causing it. You just need to find more fairways. A slightly shorter, more controlled swing often does the trick.
Distance is not your problem — 311 yards when you catch it clean is plenty to compete at any level. Focus on accuracy over distance.
Iron Shots (Approaches)
— hitting the green from the fairway"Greens in Regulation" means you hit the green in the number of shots you're supposed to — 1 shot on a par 3, 2 shots on a par 4, 3 shots on a par 5. Your rate: you do this on 43 out of every 100 holes (43%).
When you're on the green in regulation, you have a real chance at birdie. When you miss, you have to chip or pitch first, which makes par harder and bogey more likely. The more greens you hit, the more birdie chances you create.
This is actually one of your strengths vs. other 5-handicap players — you hit 5% more greens than them. But a scratch golfer hits 65%. That's the next level to chase.
When you do hit the green, how far away from the hole does your ball stop? Your average: 100 feet away. That's about 33 big steps from the hole.
The closer you land to the hole, the easier the putt. At 100 feet away, making a birdie putt is very hard — that's a long lag putt. At 55 feet (scratch level), you still have a real chance. Getting closer = more birdies.
You're hitting greens, but you're leaving yourself a long way from the hole — 100 feet on average is about 33 steps. Part of this is because 31% of your iron shots land short of the green. Try taking one more club than you normally would.
When you don't hit the green, where does the ball go? This shows you your miss patterns — and the biggest one is a clear fix.
Most common miss — try one more club!
Rare — distance control is decent
Small miss to the left
Small miss to the right
Of all your approach shots that do hit the green, here's how far they land from the hole. Green bars are makeable birdie territory. Red bars are very long putts.
⚠️ 42% of your approaches land more than 60 feet away — that's over 20 steps. From there, 3-putts happen a lot. Getting that number below 25% would transform your scoring.
Short Game
— chips, pitches, and bunker shots"Up and Down" means your ball is off the green, and you chip it up onto the green and then make the putt in one — so you still make par (or better). Your rate: you do this 40% of the time — 4 out of every 10 tries.
Missing greens happens to everyone, even pros. The difference between good golfers and great golfers is what happens next. Getting up and down saves bogeys and turns what could be a double into a par.
You're converting 40% of up-and-downs. Scratch golfers convert 58%. On a typical round with 9 missed greens, that's roughly 2 more bogeys per round than a scratch player. Improving your chipping proximity — getting the ball closer to the hole — is the key.
When your ball lands in a sand bunker, how often do you get it out AND make the next putt (saving par or better)? Your number: you do this 11% of the time — barely 1 out of every 9 tries.
Bunkers are supposed to be a penalty, but good golfers treat them like just another shot. When you can't escape bunkers reliably, a single wayward shot turns into a double bogey almost every time. This is your biggest weakness by a wide margin.
11% from bunkers is well below scratch (40%) and even below most 10-handicap golfers. The fix isn't mysterious — it's technique. The bunker drill in your practice plan will make a huge difference here quickly.
When you're off the green and chip or pitch, how far from the hole does the ball land on average? Your average: 18 feet away. That's about 6 steps.
The closer you chip it, the easier the putt. An 18-foot putt is hard to make consistently. A 6-foot putt (scratch goal) is much more manageable. Better chipping = easier putting = fewer bogeys.
At 18 feet average, you're leaving yourself tough putts after every chip. Scratch golfers chip it to within 8 feet on average. The drill this week — the Clock Drill and Bump & Run — specifically targets getting that number down.
Putting
— actually a strength!Good news:Putting is your strongest area. You average 28.8 putts per round — that's 1.5 fewer putts than a typical 5-handicap player. Keep it up.
How many total putts do you use in a round? Every time you hit a putt on the green counts. Your average: 28.8 putts per full 18-hole round.
Fewer putts = lower scores. Every putt you eliminate is a stroke saved. Tour pros average around 28–29 putts per round. You're right there.
At 28.8 putts per round, you're actually putting as well as or better than scratch golfers. This is not where you're losing shots. Keep your routine, don't overthink it.
When you hit the green in regulation, how many putts does it take to finish the hole? Your average: 1.8 putts. That means you're almost always 2-putting (or better) when you're on the green.
When you hit a green, you want to 2-putt or 1-putt. A 3-putt is a disaster. At 1.8 per green, you're doing really well here — you rarely 3-putt.
1.8 putts per green is better than the scratch benchmark of 1.72. You're not losing strokes on the green when you're already on it. The putting problem shows up elsewhere — see below.
This shows how often you make the putt depending on how far away you are. The closer you are, the higher your percentage should be.
Scoring Breakdown
Out of the last 115 holes tracked, here's how each hole ended up. Think of this as your hole-by-hole report card.
Bounce Back: 73% — After a bogey, you respond with a par or birdie 73% of the time. That's great mental toughness. You don't let one bad hole snowball.
Double Bogeys (10%):On an 18-hole round, that's about 1–2 holes where things go badly wrong. Each double bogey costs you 2 shots vs par and 1 extra vs a bogey. Cutting these in half — from 10% to 5% — would be worth roughly 1–2 shots per round.
Par 5s are your best scoring holes (averaging exactly par) — good sign. Par 4s at 4.3 avg (+0.3) means you're just barely over par on them. Get those to 4.1 and your handicap drops fast.
Your Club Distances
These are your actual carry distances tracked by Shot Scope — not what you think you hit, but what you actually hit. Use these numbers to pick the right club on every approach shot.
Club selection tip: Your 3i is your most-used club (28 shots) and goes 256 yards. Notice how your 8i (154 yds) and 9i (165 yds) are close together — be aware of that gap when choosing between them. And remember: 31% of your iron shots miss short — trust the longer club.
