Fairway Accuracy Questions
What's a good fairway hit percentage?
Average golfers (15+ hdcp) hit 35-45% fairways. Good golfers (5-10 hdcp) hit 50-55%. Scratch golfers hit 55-60%. Tour players hit 60-65%. Set goals based on your level.
Should I count par 3 tee shots?
No. Fairway hit percentage only includes par 4s and 5s (typically 14 holes). Par 3s are counted as greens in regulation.
Is accuracy more important than distance?
Both matter! Generally, distance helps more than accuracy for amateurs. But finding fairways on scoring holes is crucial. Track both and find your balance.
What if I hit 3-wood off most tees?
Track it! You might hit 65% fairways with 3-wood vs 45% with driver. The app helps you make data-driven decisions about club selection.
How do I fix a consistent miss pattern?
First, identify the pattern by tracking. If you miss right 80% of the time, work on that tendency. Aim more left, adjust setup, or see a coach.
Does hitting more fairways actually lower my score?
Yes! Studies show each additional fairway hit saves about 0.25 strokes. Hit 3 more fairways per round? That's 0.75 strokes saved.
