I’m atypical? I’m shocked 😜

I just checked 5 rounds (one was two 9s combined) and my predicted (using this formula) versus actual was within a stroke except for one round for which the formula predicted an 83 versus the 89 that

In Lowest Score Wins we cited a commonly used formula that illustrates the importance of GIR. We've found it to generally be pretty accurate if you're a fairly "average" golfer who can shoot anywhere

10 GIR today with 2 double bogies with 3 three-putt bogeys: 83

Maybe the formula would work for me if I could putt (39 putts)

I’ll trade my putting for your GIR!

I think the formula is flawed. Oversimplified, maybe.

I’m averaging 7.5 GIR over my last 10 rounds and I haven’t broken 80 once. Only once in those ten did the formula work for me - an 85 with 5 GIR and 33 putts.

I don't know that it's flawed… I think you're putting stinks. 😄 

It's a really, really simple formula, so it's going to have some holes. It's very generalized. Maybe we'll find a better one.

I just entered my round from August 16. I shot an 89 with one lost ball penalty (resulted in a triple bogie) and 27 putts. Although I only hit two greens (predicting a 91), I just missed three others and holed a chip (using a putter) from just off the green all of which reduced my putt count below what it would have typically been. It was raining for most of the round.

Lucius Riccio later revised his original formula to account for putting, and it ties pretty closely to my own experience. In an article he stated this tracked within  1 shot for 80% of the rounds on the PGA Tour. I have no idea if that’s true but it is much closer for me than the original.

58-(4/3 * GIR) + Putts

I just checked 5 rounds (one was two 9s combined) and my predicted (using this formula) versus actual was within a stroke except for one round for which the formula predicted an 83 versus the 89 that I actually shot.  Results for the outlier round were likely skewed by a lost ball penalty on a Par-3 and a blowup hole, both of which resulted in triples, several situations where I just missed the green resulting in first "putts" which did not count as putts and a "chip in" so my putt count was several strokes less than usual.  Otherwise, this formula seems to be very predictive.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.

      That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
