In other words, you could have an exceptional round where your putting was brilliant and be strokes gained (or ahead) of PGA tour averages, but one round isn't enough data to really see where your game is. But you can compare round-to-round, tournament-to-tournament and so on. He is four strokes under average, so two of those strokes are coming from his tee shots. Consider a PGA average score of 69 and a golfer who averages 65 with two-strokes gained from the tee. So, if you're two-strokes gained off the tee overall, it means your driving, on average, is accounting for two of your strokes in your below average scoring against the rest of the PGA. At the end of this post I will explain why. Then your numbers are crunched and compared to whatever benchmark you select, such as PGA, scratch, -5 handicappers and so forth. In other to make these calculations you have to record the distance from the pin and the lie of every shot. This approach involves a lot of math, but it's essentially this: you are scored in four different categories: tee shots, approach shots, short game shots and putting. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I looked it up, saw the brilliance behind it and jumped right in. Recently, I became aware of the strokes gained approach after hearing Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy saying they had so many strokes gained off the tee and so many putting. What follows might seem strange for a first post, but I chose this content to illustrate the seriousness of my approach. All in all, right now, it's about 20 hours per week at the course. On many days I'm at the course in the morning and again in the evening. I recently joined a local country club so I can play and practice from the range as much as I want. But I realize, however, that those were exceptional rounds and not indicative of true present ability. I kept practicing a LOT and a few weeks ago scored a 79 from the blue tees. My first round in June was probably around 120. I began playing again this summer after almost 25 years away. Then in my early-to-mid twenties I finally started playing seriously and within a few years was easily scoring in the low-to-mid 80s from the white tees. I goofed around in high school and played some.
I loved it from the beginning, but was never given lessons or allowed to play on a course.
My history with golf is that I was exposed to the game when I was a boy. I just want want to get to the final qualifier at the yearly PGA tournament or any individual tournament, because I would have to surrender my amateur status when I make it to that level, and thus be a pro. My goal isn't to be on TV earning millions.
