What are your statistics?

The benefit of using a good stats tool is that you start to notice the lesser known stats and they can give you some interesting information. For example my GIR FWY hit is 50.0%, while my GIR is only 27.8%. That by itself does not mean a whole lot, but if you take the FHit scoring average of +0.83 and the Not Fhit scoring average of +1.75, this means that I almost lose a full shot when I don't drive well.

I drive about 240-250 yards and I am comfortable with 8I up to the green. On a 370y hole I really shouldn't be hitting my driver if there's trouble left or right.. A solid 3W/5W gets me in 8I range and leaves me with a fairly easy shot into the green.

My average score is a bit high since I have two blow up rounds. It should be around an 83-85 by late summer. Hitting fairways is an issue so far this year. It's getting better though. My GIR% could be higher and will be higher once I start finding the fairway. Last year, whenever I missed the fairway, I was still in play and usually had a shot into the green. This year, I've been getting stuck behind some trees (I've been playing this really tight course). PPGIR is absolutely horrendous. I was thinking of dropping my putter for another wedge. In order to fulfill my "2009 Goals" this stat has to be at most 1.98...just anything under 2. I'm tired of three-putting. And it's not like my approach shots are that far off. I've 3-putted from 10 feet twice this year. And my short game (pitching mostly) hasn't been there at all this year. Good thing I'm going to take a lesson!
