Definitely short game for me, most notably from 60 yards in. I managed to have 11 days at the end of May/beginning of June when I played 5 rounds and started to get a nice feel for chipping and was scoring well (for me). Have only played once in the last 5 weeks and will probably struggle again next time I go out.

Driving, always better to play from the fairways then everywhere else, thats for sure.

My Golfshot stats for last 5 rounds:

• fairways hit: 58.0%
• greens in regulation: 25.6%
• recovery performance: 11.9%
• putting averages: 2.0

Like most my obvious need is to hit more GIR, get more up-and-downs, and avoid 3-putts.

[Aleenkagirlla]

I've been working on ball striking. Been hitting 50 to 100 daily.

[Jifyicyfuhpop]

Putting. Lots of putting.

That's easy, I need to work on my green side scrambling. I'm getting ready for our city tournament this weekend, and had league yesterday. I didn't make any mistakes, but I didn't have any saves either. I left about 5 shots on the course with blown greenside chips. I put a lot of chips about 15 feet past the whole. Everything else is playable, and my putting is probably as good as its been for the past couple of years. Just need to get those up and downs.

This is my last 20 rounds from Golfshot, Looks to me like I need to concentrate on GIR and putting....to me I would consider 60% of the fairways and getting up and down a little better than 1 out of 3 to be pretty dang good....my overall putts may be 1.8 but putts per GIR are 2.0.

fairways hit: 62.8%
greens in regulation: 37.3%
recovery performance: 38.3%
putting averages: 1.8

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It is pretty obvious, but for quite a few people (especially me) bad drives are quite often the cause for not being able to have GIR's

Impossible to be on the green in regulation if you had to chip out from a tree

[dodsCooggipsedebt]

GIR's. I've got my fairway percentage up, so now it's time to work on hitting greens.

Two part question, as the title specifies.

In my case, if I wasn't using golfshot to track my stats, my main areas of focus would be
1) Greens in reg
2) Driving
3) Short game
4) Putting

Now I know I am a poor putter, but don't feel I have very good practice facilities and that green speeds vary so much course to course that don't think lag putting which is my weakness could be practiced effectively.

According to golf shot, my biggest areas of weakness (averaged vs others w/ a similar handicap) are:
1) Bunker play
2) Putting
3) Greens in Reg
4) Virtual tie between short game and driving

I don't find myself in bunkers all that often lately, so in reality, if I can improve putting and iron play, my scores will see the biggest improvement.

Do your stats synch up with your mindset? Do you even track stats and am I too big of a golf dork as a 19 tracking them?

[levitratestimon]

My biggest flaw right now is driving. I feel great with my FW, hybrid, and iron play (nothing spectacular but definitely better than bogey golf)....however, too often my drive leaves me with a 2nd shot that is not very manageable. Hitting from the fairway, first cut, or even the rough would be fine but in South Florida the trees are often placed in areas to completely and totally punish shots in the rough lol.

My second thing to work on is growing a pair and not just going along with my playing partners who love to play from the tips (7000-7200+). I'm not a short hitter but still I hate having a hybrid or long iron in on a par 4.

[TainuibeFaimb]

Over the last 10 rounds, my putts per hole are 1.98. Putts per GIR are 2.375. Ouch.

[Dwemadayday]

Driving and greenside short game

If I put myself in the fairway with a good drive I can usually get myself on the green or just barely off but I drive the ball so erratically that I don't give myself the chance for even going for the GIR

[Ekrbcbvh]

GIR's for me. That is a no brainer. If I hit greens I score well, if I don't, I don't. I would think that is true of most everybody.

[avodeinst]

I need the most work on something that is hard to practice without being on the actual course. Silly greenside lies and how to play them. Example - hill behind / beside the green with grass cut to rough length. Be it side hill, down hill, whatever. How to execute shots like this with consistent reliability to at least give yourself a chance.

[Gremlinn]

Actually, I need to work more on entering my scores in Golfshot so I can get real stats, lol. I can't say I have the proper stats to back up my thoughts as I only enter them on occasion. My gut say's:

1. Short Game (Just really avg this year)
2. Putting (I'm no natural, work always needs done)
3. GIR
4. Driving

I don't expect to ever hit the ball long, but straight would be nice.

[NumsAmenniams]

Short game and GIR's are my glarig weaknesses

[TainuibeFaimb]

I agree completely and need to just hide the score card so I have to enter it, haha. I always like looking back after the round, but kind of a pain during the heat of battle.

My last round, golfshot really came in handy. We stopped for a sandwich at the turn and a few birds stopped by the cart. I didn't have any food out so wasn't really concerned. When I get back to the cart, one of the birds left a BIG present right on the card. This is the first time someone else has crapped my card worse than me.

Long irons....big time.
