100 yards out...what % do you hit the green?

[Garthmo]

a 56 degree or PW. and hit the green about 80% of the time i would bet

[ERC7.5]

I hit the green from 100 out probably 80% of the time and am usually using PW or GW...depending on the lie and type of approach.

[allin]

I probably average 70%+, but rarely have that distance, since I am a very short hitter. Maybe once or twice a round on par 5s. Most of the misses are out of the rough, extreme slope, etc.

[GaijinGolfer]

I hit the green about 75% of the time from that distance. For me, thats a 52* wedge shot, which is a pretty easy shot to hit the green with.

[CosmosMpower]

3/4 swing 56 degree or full swing 53*. Hit the green 3/4 times.

[pshizz]

at 100 yards out, i probly hit the green 90-95% of the time. At one of my home courses the greens are very small, so its alot harder to stick it on, but anywhere else my GRI is the above percentage.

[Smhockey]

Probly around 75%. I fear those shots I always try and leave a longer shot into the green. I always like taken full swings on my aproach shots. So I try and keep it back to around 135 cause it's perfect for my 52 wedge if it's closer than that I just hope I get it close.

[mirv]

i don't actually know my percentage from 100 yards out, but just the other evening, the course was pretty much empty, and i put down 35 balls 70 yards out from the hole and was hitting them up with a light pitching wedge swing.

out of the 35...

21 were on the green. (so 60% to answer the actual thread topic)

of those 21, 7 were inside of 10 feet.

5 were short of the green.

1 was pin-high left of the green.

6 were behind the pin on the right side of the green.

2 were behind the green (i'd topped both of those).

[Power_fade]

3/4 swing 56 degree or full swing 53*. Hit the green 3/4 times.

??? typo?

I usually hit it about 90-98% with either a stinger with the PW or a full swing with the 53.

[thedoxology]

85+%, this is the 'scoring' zone, an area left untouched by too many golfers. Go to the short game area as much as you go to the range and you'll have a lot more fun playing golf. Big drives are cool, but sticking it close from 100 yards is so much more rewarding, and after you get good at it even short game practice becomes fun.

I use a 52 degree gap wedge at about an 80% swing. It's one of my favorite shots in golf.

[bunkerputt]

3/4 gap wedge or full lob wedge depending on the wind/elevation and the trajectory I want. I don't know what the exact stat is. If the green is big and not tricky, I'd guess a little over 90%. Maybe 80% if it's narrow, or sloped strangely. I'm assuming you're talking about where the ball stops and not where it first hits. I could probably hit 90% of most greens on the fly.

Those numbers are a little ambitious. I actually did some testing on about 50 shots between 90-120 yards on a local par-3 and it's around 83%. Most greens were big and soft. Slight to moderate wind on each shot. My average miss distance was around 15 feet, worst was a 135 yard skull, best was within a foot.

[mcfc_nick]

i probably hit the greens around 65-70% of the time. the only problem is i rarely get them close to the pin and im not the best putter!

[Canuck]

I would say 95% of the time the 5% would be if you go and really attack the pins in tight spots. But i would say 100yds and in is an area that is crushal to get it tight or in scoring position.

[billm408]

From 100 yards, I'm putting probably 90% of the time. Sometimes I'll get greedy and go for sticks that I shouldn't or get cute with a front pin placement- either spin the ball off the front or come up a touch short.

I'm a believer in the Rotella theory that you should aim at the hole from this distance. The smaller and more focused the target the better your misses turn out.

[wannabe]

Schneidikies!!

I just realized with my old, terrible swing, I used to be able to reliably push my 8I exactly 100 yards. It was my favorite yardage.

Now, with my new, great swing, I'm totally lost! I think I'm gonna be using PW now, but just not sure -- #@%!#$%!!!

Lotta good this new swing's gonna do me...

[9 ft golfer]

I suck from everywhere so I wouldn't know... I like never have a 100-yard shot... In fact I played 9 holes today and didn't have one... I'm not long and have a bad back... and I'm only 21 so that's sad... I'm also between 6'4"-6'9" depending on which gas station I walk out of...

[MiniMoe]

Over the course of a year, I know I'm not 100% because I know I hit one a little fat, or suck one off the front, but I'm real close to 99%. Today I missed the green from 105 because I hit the front, then sucked it way down the hill. I had a 30 yrd pitch.....made par

[McGolf-Doggie]

If I've got room behind the green, maybe a parallel-to-the-ground backswing PW or a little choked down PW. I generally have a short backswing, so parallel is taking a little bit off.

If it's tight behind, probably a relaxed swing/full swing very worn SW (Daiwa Hi-Trac 11-iron); maybe risk coming up short or maybe rolling a little closer to the hole.

100 used to be full swing SW for me, but I'm a bit off (or swinging less maniacally) and these days think of that as a 75 yd club.

(I have no GW)
