GHIN Average/Similar Golfers Report

[Dick Kusleika]

When I record my scores on ghin.com, I use the hole-by-hole and advanced scoring. I like reading the Average/Similar Golfers report. But what I'd really like to see is how I compare to the next lower handicap group. I have two questions:

1. If you work at GHIN, can you put me in touch with your web app team so I can make a suggestion? I can't find a way to do that on the site.

2. If you're between a 5.6 and 6.6 index and use advanced scoring, would you mind posting your Average/Similar Golfers numbers so I can do the comparison myself?

Thanks

Interesting. Ive never posted hole by hole scores in GHIN.

Those stats are for the range of 6.6-7.6 right? Pretty much dead nuts for me over the last three years playing to a low of 6.6 and high of 8.3. I don't use GHIN HBH but I was doing HBH with US Handicap before I got GG.

Right - 6.6-7.6. I thought they had levels and that I just happened to be right in the middle of one. But after thinking about it, they probably just add/subtract .5 from mine. 

The first time I ever saw this report was a couple of years ago. I was just under a 6.5 for very brief time. I remember thinking what a great scorer I must be. Everyone in the 5.9-6.9 range was clearly better than me in most of the stats. I thought the few categories where I was better must account for a lot of scoring. But I was back up around 7 in no time and all the stats kind of fell into place. I was just playing above my pay grade for a short while. Now I want to go back and see that. Where are the 6 handicaps clearly kicking my butt? 

Does Game Golf or some other shot tracker have a similar report?

Didn't even know you could do that...

GameGolf doesn't use the GHIN calculation for their handicap, but they use their own handicap system.  But they do give data analysis:

Me neither.  One of the things I like about the GHIN app is that I can post my round in less than 30 seconds from my phone and be done with it.
