What's your Median Shot distance ?

[sev112]

Oh boy am i sad
Camberley stats from Monday


0-1yd : 15 shots
1-10yds : 22 shots
11-30 : 7 shots
31-80 : 8
81-120 : 4
121-150 : 8
151-180 : 6
181-210 : 3
211-250 : 6
>250 : 6

Which suggests my Median is 11 to 30 yds ???
OK take out the putts, median shot is a bout 130 yards (i'm pretty good at those, which sounds ok)


Otherwise i havent got a clue what the above tells me, other than copious amounts of pain killers (bad back) and red wine addles one's brain.
But i suppose the higher distances have teh greater margin for error/large consequences.

The 180-210 is interesting - on a several of these length i laid up, cos i am not good at that length off the fariway.

Oh my - I'm not even sure how to respond to this

But you did, so you want to , go on , i dare you ...

Your short game needs some work?
No go on tell me I give up!

That's what i was hoping the "experts" would advise

Actually i'm not so sure about the short game - i think it says/was the opposite, that i was chipping off the fringe or close to the green a lot, and i think i 3 putted once in 27 holes. I think the 1 - 10 yards sort of skews the numbers there, because that includes e.g. 6 ft putts, as well the 3 30ft putts i dropped.

Just goes to show you cant trust statistics

 

[Foxholer]

Those stats seem pointless to me.

If you are going to get detailed, there are better ways of doing it.

I personally don't see the point in rounds away from home/often-played club, except for the putts/GIRs and maybe good/dodgy drive count. I'm trying to measure improvement and a spurious 'observation' just gets in the way

Statistics need to be interpreted intelligently.

Ah yes you are right, however the initial idea was looking at what shots i tend to play the most in comparison to the ones i play well and dont play well - of course i didnt put that in the thread, as that's not really of interest to the masses.

It's occasionally not the worst thing to do to consider a round on an "away" course, because on those rounds you are not constrained by one's normal course strategy, or one's normal shot distance etc. in which case it occasionally helps to spot a shot flaw that wouldnt normally be exposed at a home course.

For example i putt badly on rubbish greens (which is what my home course has been for a while until recently) whereas on good greens (such as Camberley) my putting stats were good

 

[richart]

Surely the only stat that matters is 85 ?

 

[RGDave]

You said it.

Um, um, (pause, delay).....what are you trying to ascertain?

t.b.h. I thought you'd excluded the putting, and therefore hit 15 shots less than 1 yard.....that would be some serious amount of bad shots.

 

[DaveM]

That rules me out then. I ain't got a clue what he's on about

 

[JustOne]

I can tell you I faced 8 shots of 63-66yds at Camberley and came up 5yds short with all of them!

From your stats I can tell you that you need to hit your drives about 50yds longer!

 

[MashieNiblick]

Well the stats tell me that most of your shots are played from 80 yards and in, so you should practice your short game more than your long game. Nothing new there I guess. Probably true for all of us.

Isn't that right Bob?

 

[JustOne]

One putting more greens will also help... !




so that's only DRIVING, ANYTHING AROUND 130yds (or less) and PUTTING that you have to work on :ears:


Enjoy the practice ground! :thup:
