Today I read that....

[USER1999]

Golf is:

43% putting
25% wood play
13% chipping
7% short irons
5% trouble shots
4% medium irons
3% long irons

interesting that i mainly practice middle irons!

 

[LanDog]

I'd have definitely thought that middle and short irons would've been ranked higher

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Just think of how many of those shots you have each round and it's prob not far away

 

[Dodger]

so 56% is where my game is at its most pish.

No wonder I am crap.

Honest though!

Looks like putting is going to be top of the practice to do list. :mmm:

I would like to know how they got to this, because a bad day in one area will mean an increase in another. Surly in an ideal world strong wood play, mid irons and putting would mean you do not need the other areas

Where did you read that? Left over in a cracker? We all know blasting woods 400 yards is the future but if not, it has to be short irons, chipping and putting surely

Prob based on around 30 putts, 14 drives and 3 wood shots on par 5's, some chipping on missed greens the short irons are prob short par 4's and lay ups, long irons into par 4's.
I shoot no where near par but can see on an average of say 4 rounds where the figures come from. If you add up long irons and middle irons, chipping and bunkers prob relate more to the stats we keep

 

[Liverbirdie]

If you vastly improve your chipping/bunker shots, your putting stats will come down, is one thing to also consider.
