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

[Prairie Golfer]

50/50 shot, most often with my gap wedge

well it depends on the lie of the ball.. if it's on the fairway (which doens't really happen that often) i ama say 65% with a full SW or a 3/4 PW.

but if the lie is crappy.. the percentage ranges from 20% - 0%.

[Cooker]

I'd say out of the rough, 40%
From fairway, 55%
Sand 20%

[Three Putt]

Gap Wedge...very comfortable with it from 50 to 120 yards.

Not sure exactly, but from 100 yards out I'll hit it almost every time, may not be next to the pin, but it will be on there somewhere. My problem is getting myself off the tee well enough to get in position to hit the greens.

Roughly 50% of the time, maybe a little less.

I easily hit 85% from 75-125 because those are wedge distances, but it is not always close to the hole. I usually average probably 15-20 feet from those distances. Those distances are automatic two putts, so I am making par and I will take 18 pars everytime.

If I were you I would go to the range and instead of hitting the driver, I would grab my wedges and short irons and hit 95% ball with them. Then go and chip and putt for 30-45 minutes, focusing on distance control, and your scores will drop.

I feel like ive posted in this thread already..From 100 yards, im probably on the green (or atleast in the fringe) 90% of the time.

Get to a par-3 course and try it out. That's a great way to test it. It seems like it is strongly correlated with handicap. Here's my best guess pulled only slightly out of my ass:

Handicap 100 yd %
+6-0 > 99%
0-5 > 95%
5-10 > 90%
10-15 > 80%
15-20 > 70%
>20 < 70%


Correct me if it seems like I'm blowing smoke.
