Arccos has captured over 700 millions shots, 15 million rounds and 1 trillion data points to give an inside look at amateur golfers. Here are some stats that may tame your golf expectations:
#1. Driver - distances vary according to age and handicap. You may be surprised how well you hit your drives, given your age and handicap.
#2. Approach - from 100 yards the average 10 handicap golfer takes an average of 3.38 strokes from the fairway and 3.5 strokes from the rough to hole out. So if you walk away with a Par from 100 yards out, give yourself a pat on the back.
#3. Short Game - the same 10 handicap takes as many strokes to hole out from 12 yards in the rough as they would from 81 feet on the green. A putter in hand is worth more than a ball in the rough. Try to aim for the safest part of the green.
#4. Putting - 3 putts are more common than you think.
#5. Penalty Shots - a 10 handicap has 3 or more penalty shots on about 25% of their rounds. Avoid penalty shots, avoid the big scores.
