I thought this would be an interesting and useful thread. I'm curious how my stats compare to others, and in particular, how they compare to lower handicaps. For me, as a stat tracker, it would be a good way to see where I need to improve to get to lower handicaps.

So, anyways, I think the best way is to post your handicap, along with whatever stats. For me:

Handicap: 14.1

Average GIR: 8

Scrambling %: 13.1%

Putts per hole: 2.02

Putts per hole (last 10): 1.96

Putts per GIR: 2.2 (ugh)

Average score (last 10 rounds): 82.7

Par 3 avg (last 10 rounds): 3.86

Par 4 avg (last 10 rounds): 4.87

Par 5 avg (last 10 rounds): 5.29

Not going to post the all-time averages for me because it includes a lot of rounds not indicative of my current ability - not that I'm embarrassed by them; they're just less useful to me and others. I don't keep FIR, which I probably should.

Great idea to see what u need work on but I've never done it. I just keep scorecard with score , fairways hit, greens hit, and putts. I write down my distance  with approach to green and putting distance so I know what yardages I need to work on more but that's it.

My index is <2 and if I were to guess going off of what you posted that my stats would look close to this

Handicap                   2

GIR                          12

Avg score last 10rds  75

Other than those I'd simply be guessing

    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂 
    • Well that's different.
