Stats for guys in the low single digits HDC Index

[elsito99]

Hey guys,

I have been improving a lot this year, currently playing to a 10 or 11.

I am interested in those of you who play to a low single digit and keep stats.

How many GIR do you average, FW and putts?

I've had quite a few good rounds including a few 80's but with a few GIR only, like 3 or 4. This may indicate a very strong chipping game, so I am going to start working a lot in the 3,4 and 5 iron area.

TIA

I play on a pretty simple course... not long and almost wide open (except for a few holes". I average close to 90% on fairways and greens and about 30-31 putts per round.

Hey guys,

If you are a 10 Handicap, I would think you've had more than a couple 80's? Is your course rated really easy? Just curious.

Although I didn't play near my handicap, here are my stats from my last two rounds (83-76 in the USGA Public Links Qualifier)

Round 1: 8 FW's, 9 GIR, 36 Putts
Round 2: 8 FW's, 7 GIR, 29 Putts

Horrible day for me, really. I normally hit around 10-12 FW's, about the same GIR and closer to 30 putts per round on average...

In my last ten rounds:
5.4 handicap
83 score average
50% fairways
36% greens
32 putts per round
Putts per gir 2.08
Putts per missed gir 1.61

Mid-single digit handicap with several high scores. My big stat is that 99% of the time, if I hit 50% gir, then I score 80 or better.

Last 5, 10, 20, Totals here...

GIR: 56.67%, 53.33, 53.61%, 48.57%
Fairway: 69.57%, 57.55%, 54.48%, 52.78%
Putts: 29.8, 28.8, 29.4, 29.16

I play on a course (Lake View) quite frequently with very, very small fairways (average width of about 22 yards) and small greens.

To those of you who are 10s, please respect the question the guy asked - low single digits.
