Iron Play Statistics Questions
What's a good GIR percentage by handicap?
Average golfers (15-20 hdcp) hit 3-5 GIR. Good golfers (5-10 hdcp) hit 7-9 GIR. Scratch golfers hit 11-12 GIR. Set realistic goals based on your level.
How do I measure approach shot proximity?
Pace off the distance from your ball to the hole (or estimate). Log it in the app. Over time, you'll see your average proximity improve.
Should I track every approach shot?
Yes, if possible! The more data, the better your stats. Even tracking approach shots on just par 3s and par 4s provides valuable insights.
What's considered a good approach shot proximity?
From 150 yards, average amateurs are 40-50 feet away. Good players are 25-35 feet. Scratch golfers are 20-25 feet. Track your improvement toward these benchmarks.
How does GIR affect my score?
Studies show each additional GIR saves about 0.5 strokes. Improve from 5 to 8 GIR? That's 1.5 strokes saved per round just from hitting more greens.
Can I see which clubs I hit best?
Yes! The app shows GIR% and proximity by club. You might discover your 8-iron is deadly accurate while your 4-iron costs you strokes.
