I changed my driving stats based on your article a while back.
I track “successful” “recovery” and “penalty” (in a bunker or trees or in penalty area).
Do you know a target “successful” fairways per round?
I average two recovery shots and nearly two penalties per round. My course has a lot of trees and ob and most members agree that our handicaps travel quite well. I am also mindful of “awful swings”. I am making 1-2 awful swings off the tee per round.
I am also mindful of @Bigdadenergy comment even though he is talking about approach. Subconsciously, I think these “awful” swings come out when I am pressing (doglegs, long par 4, par 5 when I am thinking about getting there in two).
