I recently found this article

http://probablegolfinstruction.com/g...statistics.htm

And some stats guy came up with the following formula to determine a players scoring average: 95.1 - (2 * GIR avg. per 18 holes)

I plugged my last 20 round numbers in: 95.1 - (2 * 7.6) = 79.9, my actual scoring average for those rounds is 8.2 over par so this indicator does seem to be quite accurate for me. I believe it assumes a par 72 course for the calculation.

The chart on the link has some other indicators, of which all the ones I track bring me quite close to my scoring average. Is it really this simple?

Anyone else able to plug in your stats and see if you obey the rules in this study? I think this also shows that I'm average at best in my short game, as I'm a little above the predicted score if anything.
