Here is the site I was talking about yesterday. Very strong relationship associated with g.i.r. and scoring.....

http://www.oxnardtenniscenter.com/Ol...olferStats.htm

Interesting site and I particularly like the "relationship" column which seems to be pretty spot on. For example, I hit around 85% of FIR, which suggests an average score of 71 or less, yet I haven't managed to hit sub-100 to date. On the other hand I get very few gross pars per round which suggests a score around the high 90's. the difference here is that the FIR relationship is weak and the pars is strong, and that certainly applies to my game.

I may hit the fairway a lot, but I'm not hitting it very long (about 200 - 220 yds) and I'm getting let down by my chipping and putting at the moment. Therefore *for me* as a golfer, FIR and GIR stats are fairly useless as even my GIR is fairly decent, it's the rest of the shots that let me down.

Therefore, as other have suggested, there's not going to be one specific stat, other than total score, that all golfers can work on to improve their score. However, looking at stats on an individual basis may help to locate the weaknesses in a golfer's game that could help them to improve.
