Why Up and Down % Matters

A great short game saves rounds

Save Strokes Fast

Improving up-and-down % from 20% to 40% saves 3+ strokes per round. That's the difference between 88 and 85.

Identify Weaknesses

Maybe you're great from fairway but terrible from sand. Or good inside 10 yards but poor from 20+. Data reveals all.

Build Confidence

When you know you get up and down 50% of the time, you'll feel confident attacking pins. Aggressive play = lower scores.

Smarter Practice

Struggle from deep rough? Spend practice time there. Data guides your practice to work on actual weaknesses.

Track Practice Impact

Working on chipping? Track up-and-down % to see if practice translates to on-course performance.

Competitive Advantage

While others make bogey after missing greens, you make par. Up-and-down ability wins tournaments.

Up and Down Statistics Questions

What's a good up and down percentage?
Average amateurs: 20-30%. Good players (5-10 hdcp): 35-45%. Scratch golfers: 45-55%. Tour players: 55-65%. Set realistic goals based on your level.
What counts as an up and down?
You must miss the green in regulation, then chip/pitch/bunker shot and 1-putt for par or better. If you 2-putt for par, it's still an up and down.
Should I track scrambling separately from up and down?
They're the same thing! Scrambling and up-and-down both mean saving par or better after missing the green.
How many up and down opportunities per round?
If you hit 6 GIR, you have 12 scramble opportunities. If you hit 9 GIR, you have 9 opportunities. Track them all for accurate stats.
Which lies should I practice most?
Track your data first! You'll discover which lies cost you the most. Most amateurs struggle from sand and deep rough.
Does up and down % really affect my score that much?
Yes! Each 10% improvement in up-and-down saves about 1 stroke per round. Go from 20% to 40%? That's 2 strokes saved.
