Play the course, not your fellow golfers. I think thats what the answer above me is saying. Use your strengths and stay away from your weaknesses if you can. Course Mangement!

I wondered the same thing. I found interesting...the golf channel tour keeps track of its players statistics and they have five or six flights based on handicap. You can check out how each player in each flight has done on average...pretty cool.

Hope this helps.

I'm sure you can only find reliable stats on the pros. Who cares what a 25 handicapper is doing on the course? Unless he's right behind you hitting his ball!

Although much is known about the statistical profile of professional golfers, little has been published on the play of other golfers. Riccio's 1990 paper used data from over 100 golfers ranging in ability from Jack Nicklaus to a 35 handicapper. The analysis was designed to determine which aspects of play separates the average players from the top amateurs.

     He found that some specific statistics were good predictors of score. For example, the number of pars made could be used to accurately predict score, using the equation, SCORE = 102.6 - 2.7 X #pars. If a player typically makes 7 pars each round, his/her likely average score would be 102.6 - 2.7 X 7 = 83.7.

     Take a look at how many pars you usually make in a round (analyze your last 5 rounds). What does the above formula predict for your average score? Is it a good predictor?

     Another good predictor is greens in regulation, GIR. The formula Riccio discovered for GIR is SCORE = 95.1 - 2.0 X GIR. If you are an excellent ball striker and happen to hit on average 15 greens per round, then your likely average score would be 95.1 - 2.0 X 15 = 65.1. Yes, 65! The pros don't hit on average 15 greens per round.

Have a nice game
