As I strive for a scratch handicap, I resolved to keep track of my stats this year (the idea being that I will have a clear picture of what needs improvement).
I have been using a tool provided by golfdigest.com called makemebetter.
It involves entering a few details about each round played.
To summarize my stats:
Greens in Regulation - 50%
Putts per round - 33
Scrambling (saves when chipping/pitching) - 33%
Driving Accuracy - Excellent (for some reason it doesn't give me a number)
It goes on to tell me that my short game handicap is 4 and my long game is 5. Reasonably consistent with my official handicap.
33 putts is bad for someone only hitting 33% of greens.
I'm thinking that in order to get to scratch, I will need to get Greens in Regulation to 66% (or 12 per round), down to 30 putts per round and scrambling to 50%. In any case, it is an interesting tool - check it out at Make me Better
Good on you - keep it up.
