I'm averaging 32 per. As you can see by my rounds I haven't played well or much lately but when I'm playing, when I'm hitting fairways and greens I'm two putting alot. Not necessarily hitting my approaches close. Handicap is based on your best rounds and not your average. I've had some good rounds. Unfortunately, when I'm bad...... That's why the averages are high, I guess

I average 33% up and down (and I use statistic for 50y and in).

putts I'm 32.4.... fairways at 60%.... greens at 38%

and right now I'm playing off an 8.6... up about 1 stroke because of winter.

You don't live far from me at all.

Since I started keeping my stats on Scorecard my fairways are 49%. My greens are 44%. 99% of the time if I hit 50% greens or better I shoot 80 or less.

44% GIR
33 putts a round
and up and down is not sure probably around 30%?

I'm at 42.98% up and downs inside 100 yards for the winter. If I can get to over 45% for the summer i'll be very happy!
FWIW: Fairways = 57.38%, GIR = 53.43%, Putts = 31.16.

I'm a decent scrambler. U&D; Right around 40%.

i hit 84% of FIR

What's a FIR?

F a IR way? 84% of fairways? That's 4+% better than #1 on TOUR. I'm not buying it.

where are you in the area, I noticed your profile says something about North of Charlotte... I'm always looking for someone to play with when my brother-in-law is busy, like tomorrow. Do you play any courses in the Charlotte/Concord area? I have been down here about a year now and I have played quite a few of the area courses, but would welcome any course recomendations.

among my favorites so far... Rocky River Warrior Verdict Ridge Highland Creek cheap and OK ones that I play a lot... Crescent (up in Salisbury) Mooresville GC

It depends on what your definition of "up and down" is. For me, when i miss an approach shot into a green, it seems like i get the ball into the hole in two shots or less at least half of the time.

Fairway in regulation.

Scorecard just calls it "Fairway" or "Fairways."

We're a little off topic but Skybrook is fun. Verdict Ridge I haven't played but everyone tells me is nice. Highland Creek is a tough track for some reason. Rocky River is overplayed and not that great but OK. Warrior is OK too but really spread out.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
