Yep, GPS just isn't accurate enough for the putting. I edit mine after every round and I'm sad enough to have remembered the length of the putts since I also measured the length of my steps and I pace most putts out.
Full shot rather than a less controlled 'easy' shot.Interesting that a 20 handicapper has more chance of hitting the green from 76-80 than 71-75.....
Do tell us about 20 handicappers that are good at hitting consistent controlled full shots!Full shot rather than a less controlled 'easy' shot.

Use a wedge.
At least with Arcoss there is the option to mark the putt as a "chip" from the fringe so therefore not actually recorded as a putt as the ball wasn't on the green. I do agree that it is still skewed as you stick that 4 foot example to a foot an hole out it then feeds into scrambling instead
I got a friend off about 22/24 handicap to break 90 for the first time by clubing him on a friendly game.Do tell us about 20 handicappers that are good at hitting consistent controlled full shots!
Boring though isn't it? We can talk stats all we want, but really it's meant to be fun, and driver is the funnest club.
I don’t necessarily agree, I understand it but for me watch an iron stop and spin back is fun. Or hitting that get out of gaol hook or fade from under a tree ..the driver is just about getting it to a point where you don’t need to hit a big club .. I would sacrifice distance for a clean 7 iron shot than a poor lie 9 iron, even with f the stars suggest I will miss the 7 iron more .. they just have not accounted for lie or line
I‘d like to see that stat broken down by country. I am in Florida playing at the moment and I haven’t seen anything I would term as ‘traditional rough’ yet.
I would prefer the 150 yards from rough shot, just because 7 iron beats 7 wood really. I'm surprised the difference is that small though, I'd have expected it to be bigger.
That’s the whole point of strokes gained though, it’s the little incremental improvements which over time add up to a lower handicap; it may be 1/10th on those shots, and a tenth or 2 on some other shots and the accumulation of all those 10ths here and there which equate to a shot or 2 in over time.
From normal rough, on a typical British golf course set up for normal club golf.
There are levels of rough.
The thing is though the database comparator may still be different from your own course.
It’s not perfect. But it is useful. Unlike previous statistics of fairways, greens and number of putts which not.
