Distance Control

Track how often you hit your target yardage. Good distance control = more birdie chances.

Why Iron Play Stats Matter

Hit greens, make birdies, shoot lower

More Birdie Chances

Every extra GIR gives you a birdie putt. Improve from 6 GIR to 9 GIR = 3 more birdie chances per round.

Eliminate Guesswork

Stop guessing which clubs are costing you. Stats reveal exactly which irons need work.

Better Practice Focus

Struggling from 150 yards? Great from 100? Data guides your practice to work on weaknesses.

Track Equipment Impact

Got new irons? Track GIR and proximity before and after to see if they're actually better.

Benchmark Performance

Compare your GIR% to golfers at your handicap. Scratch golfers hit 11-12 GIR. Where do you stand?

Strategic Insights

Maybe you're better from 150 than 100. Use this knowledge for smarter club selection off the tee.

Iron Play Statistics Questions

What's a good GIR percentage by handicap?
Average golfers (15-20 hdcp) hit 3-5 GIR. Good golfers (5-10 hdcp) hit 7-9 GIR. Scratch golfers hit 11-12 GIR. Set realistic goals based on your level.
How do I measure approach shot proximity?
Pace off the distance from your ball to the hole (or estimate). Log it in the app. Over time, you'll see your average proximity improve.
Should I track every approach shot?
Yes, if possible! The more data, the better your stats. Even tracking approach shots on just par 3s and par 4s provides valuable insights.
What's considered a good approach shot proximity?
From 150 yards, average amateurs are 40-50 feet away. Good players are 25-35 feet. Scratch golfers are 20-25 feet. Track your improvement toward these benchmarks.
How does GIR affect my score?
Studies show each additional GIR saves about 0.5 strokes. Improve from 5 to 8 GIR? That's 1.5 strokes saved per round just from hitting more greens.
Can I see which clubs I hit best?
Yes! The app shows GIR% and proximity by club. You might discover your 8-iron is deadly accurate while your 4-iron costs you strokes.
