Stats for different Scores

Here's some interesting averages for a variety of scores.

Score       71        75        79        81        85        91      

GIR         12        10         8          7          5          2        

FIR         71%    66%    61%    56%     43%      31%  

Putts        29     30.3     31.7     32.3      33.7     35.7    

This chart is a great indicator for you and your students to understand.  I've always thought that you should handicap each area of a student's game.  For instance your ball striking might be a 3 handicap if you average 10 greens a round.  But your putting is a 10 handicap if you average 32.3 putts per round.

A great goal for 2010 would be to lower the handicap of the worst part of your game.
