Stats That Prove You're Not That Bad at Golf

Feeling frustrated with your golf game? Well, chin up, because the reality might be more encouraging than you believe. Golf Monthly recently analysed some stats using data from Arccos to sprinkle a touch of golfing sunshine on your day.

For example, let’s consider a golfer with a 5 handicap. They tend to score a bogey or worse on roughly 44% of holes during an 18-hole round, which is almost every other hole!

And if you compare a 5 handicap to a 15 handicap, looking at their average number of birdies, pars, bogeys, and double bogeys + during a round, you’ll notice it’s not the extra birdies that set them apart; it’s the number of double bogeys or worse. So, if you can just minimise those colossal numbers, you might see a nice improvement in your scores and handicap.
