Welcome all J Smith here welcome to the for channel welcome to um episode 10 answer video from stats of Strokes the competition game bit of fun series which I’ve designed to try and make statistics a little bit more enjoyable to chew on um so you can learn how to make better

Decisions at the golf course um kind of bit boring I know everyone wants to talk about equipment um piece of fluff there you go um so we have a busy day today we’ve had I 530 released at 4:00 today and also g730 released uh about an hour and a bit ago

So I thought I’d finish the end of today with a answer video from s Dr a question I posed two days ago I think it was and it’s about consistency Etc so we’ll go straight on to the questions I have got the chat up as you can see just in case

Anyone wants to pop on say hello ask a question about anything to do with well okay the hot topics are definitely I 530 and a little bit so uh g730 but again if you want to pop up on there you can do you’re more than welcome

To right what we’ll do is we will uh yes let’s go get on the questions first of all so just making sure everything was working as it should do right so this was question one question one so what percentage of amateur golfers have a difference of 10 shots or less between

Their best and worst uh rounds in a calendar year uh Neil in the house good evening hello Neils he’s behind the chat well he’s not behind the chat he’s on the chat behind the question so the question one was what percentage of amate golfers amateur golfers not professional golfers we are talking

Amateur golfers uh ranging from from obviously plus handicaps all the way down to beginners um Francisco is in the house saying hey Jay hey Francisco hope you’re well uh what percentage of amate golfers have a difference of 10 shots or less between their best and worst rounds

In the calendar year so um interesting uh question because we got some interesting answers to it now the reason why I POS this one I’ll just get up on there so you can see the chat hello to everybody and I tell you what I’ll do is

I’ll make the chat a little bit bigger so everyone can see that’s my that’s that’s that’s a bit big that’s about right um so everyone um the reason I did this is it’s mainly so what I’ve known over the pass of time is that golfers are massively hard on

Themselves golfers see targets of really they shouldn’t be going for golfers see targets of which they see a certain distance with a certain iron in their hands or wedge in their hands and they have unrealistic unrealistic expectations of how many times they should hit Target

As in the Target in their head is the green and so uh this is what so I got some interesting ones now the the the fun bit of this is most of them were grouped around a reasonable sensible number but I did have ones that go obviously quite high and when you’re

Looking at say some of the numbers were 15 20% 20% of golfers with a 10 shots or less on the can I mean you’ve either got to be playing once a year which in that sense you’d qualify I don’t think to be fair those kind of anomalies that they’re

Taken away so someone who just playing two or three times a year doesn’t get added but we’re talking about a a regular yeah yeah won’t go into it but yeah so I I’ll put it up on there so you can have a little look so just go part one first of all

Um only 3. 7% of golfers now in that 3.7% yes you have got the elite amers and yes also you have got the classic seniors plodding along pop pop pop pop pop Uber consistent obviously quite high scoring generally because they can’t hit the golf ball very far but they’re just

Like pop pop pop you kind of get the idea so there’s not many there is not many percentage whatsoever 3.7% 96.3 3% of golfers have a much bigger than 10 shots worst to best rounds in the candy year so basically all of them so if

People were just to say look do you know what your handicap is say let’s say is 18 and you play on a pass 72 golf course and so you should in your head go rounding 90 well no I mean even with the the old and new handicap system but even

With the new one you’re really only supposed to hit your handicap 20% of the time one in five if you’re lucky the rest of it no that’s the whole idea how it works um and so yeah not many golfers are as consistent as what people think and obviously I got

Some answers in and around 20% well that’s yeah so give yourself a Break um humans vary humans are inconsistent we are not robots and so we are designed to be varied right so that’s the um answer to question one let’s go to the full answer for question

Um one and two so we can get all up on the screen um Neil said who else is online probably everybody watching my i530 and g730 videos rather than doing this but again when it comes to this side of the things um of the 18,000 or so subscri subscribers that I

Have obviously only a certain portion are interested in a way that they can try and get their scools down for free when it comes to just making better decisions in their gray matter between their ears but it is not a very fun topic so let’s go to B do of question

For number 10 whole 10 um yeah we’re starting to get down out this hold 11 next time we’re going be start running out a hole soon so uh part two is what part of the game do those most assistent scoring golfers perform better at than others so when you’re talking about

People that shoot um obviously weird numbers against other golfers which shoot more consistent numbers when you’re looking at the difference between a inconsistent golfer and a fairly consistent golfer what is the overwhelming part of their game which is better than the others now in no way is

This saying that when I give you the answer to this this is no way in saying saying that the answer to this is the answer to everybody’s woes um I’ll go into it more but let’s go for the answer question two short game when you have a more consistent short game putting chipping

Um stuff like that um you can be you can have a bad day when it comes to other parts and then your short game will save you now um I tell you what I’ll just pop that off for a second because we have um chat behind it as you can see there you

Go must be short game you are absolutely right you are now as a general rule when it comes to playing well we’re not talking about consistency we’re not talking about when you say consistency there is a spread of between your best ones which is obviously one in however many not many

And then your worst ones and believe it or not there are far more worse ones than there are better ones so even that is offset slightly and so when you’re looking at how people will score better as a general rule um driving an approach play is the way to

Do it when it comes to consistency of the poor ones yeah of the poor ones this is the thing what what part of the game when you’re looking at the bad side do one side score better than the other is because of their short game if you look

At the run-of-the-mill how you get better at golf it’s basically obviously everything but effective if you can increase your distance and you can increase your accuracy when it comes to your approach play you are going to score better so under normal circumstances driving an approach play

Would be better but when we are talking about this specific part when it comes to I’ll get the full question on there without blocking blocking blocking another one because we’re talking about what part of the game do those most consistent golfers perform better at than others because we are talking about

The worst ones why are we um but why is one part better because you always get your good ones so it’s just a measure of how bad you are remember golf is not a measure how good you are and no different to anyone who’s watching

Now you’ve hit a shot on a par three to that far to a foot whatever yeah no different to I can remember times when I’ve got a par three and I’ve hit it to there so what makes my that far away and you’re that far away any different it

Doesn’t literally no no difference whatsoever actually arguably yours is more difficult because the chances are and this is an assumption but the chances are you were using less Loft than me because I swing faster I was having more Loft which automatically makes me more accurate because I won’t

Bore you D plane makes me more accurate and so when it comes to that you are as good as me but why is your handicap higher than mine well I ain’t got one but you know I mean why why are you why do you score more than me because I am

Less crap than you that’s literally it and then and I I’ve I’ve used a word and I’ve inserted it there normally a word that I’ll use um it accentuates it a bit more but for the like of YouTube I won’t obviously say it but effectively that’s

What it is um anyone who’s better than you uh on their handicap is rarely better than you you’re both and all capable up to a certain point if you’ve never h a go club before obviously you’re going to hit quite a few shots before you actually get one that close

To the hole but within reason any experienced golfer of any decent is handicap has had shots where they’ve hit it to that far and so you already are potentially as good as me in your good shots but the problem is there’s a big difference between your consistency

Between you’re good and you’re not so good and with me there’s a smaller amount of difference between my good and my not so good and that’s what we’re talking about so um putting only can get you four shots easily um I tell you what um putting is

A massive point a massive thing and there is a huge part of golf absolutely that um if you work on your drive and work on your approach prey your handicap will come down quick really will do from a from a practice point of view and and

From a realistic point of view when it comes to putting no one has in any um unless they can’t see or they’ve got no arms or something like that there’s no other handicap in that sense which means you cannot be as good as Tiger Woods or whatever putter that you like

To watch on TV because we’re not talking about a biomechanical thing we’re not talking about a strength thing we are talking about purely technique of which someone can learn practice reading the greens all this which is not a physical aspect of you’re stronger than me you’re

Bigger than me you can swing faster than me that so so that’s why I think putting is exceptionally important obviously people don’t generally speaking bother about putting because it’s boring there you go right so we’ve done that we’ve done that we’ve done that we’ve done that right so what we’re

Going to do now what we’re going to do now Francisco is just going to pop in there saying every time I invite my wife and I get to the Green in two and then I am out of the green with a plus two she always goes what happened

Down yeah never go play uh golf with your wife unless she likes being caddy and that’s all right I suppose unless you carry then that’s that’s a bit harsh to be fair if You’ be like pushing the thing or remote control if you’re that way inclined but carrying

The golf clubs that’s a bit harsh right so should we get to the leaderboard because we’ve had some changes the interesting one on this we’ve had some changes um so obviously for the part ones and part two e if you answered you’re going to get one point

Anyway so even if you got everything wrong doesn’t matter as long as you’ve input into it you’re going to score one point that’s the great thing about it like no different when it comes to really okay yes you can blob a hole when it comes to tford but the whole yeah you

G every single time you have an attempt to answering you’re going to get at least one point so everyone has just got at least one point um but obviously some people have done better than others and so we’ll stick the leaderboard on shall we oh no what I will I will wait a

Little while because I’ve just seen how it’s scrolling and I want to add a little bit of suspense to it why not ready I’ll get it to about sort of uh give or take now right so we are down at the low end because obviously generally speaking

Uh these are the people that only just added once they’ve had if they just kept going they’ have gone up the leaderboard no wise drum roll Neil says yeah and Perry Mason says bad round for me onwards and upwards absolutely we all don’t score well every single time right

Here we go ice tray and Neils now is tied they’re tied together and we have a four-point lead as such between Wasteland and William and a Special K us pet Steve butcher we’re getting very very close behind so I I I wish I could stop that but I’ll

Keep scrolling but you kind of get the idea um wow so not so many uh rounds ago not rounds ago holes ago ice TR had a four five point lead and this is the way of it it doesn’t take long before people move around because there’s going to be

Certain questions that I will ask that people will go on Google find a certain specific source and find it and then obviously straight away get get their Five Points and there will be other times when they can’t and then it’s just a case of there we go so four points in

It and then we got a two-point drop but I mean anyone anyone within I mean even down here you still well and truly got some uh chance of doing it if you’re anyone at 15 points tied 36 it doesn’t take much to go straight up the leaderboard to their tied 30th and then

Up to into the high 20th so all it takes is for people to have a bit of a bad go at it like Ice TR just had a bad one this time and of course Neils had a decent one and of course it just jumped

Straight up this is the fun of it but we’ve got anyone we’ve got Pete up the top there as well we’ve got um me I think up there as well if I remember we got wait for this thing to go along but you kind of get the idea whole idea of

It guys is to make sure you just keep on entering so I will have to say this again because there is still a disparity between the amount of likes that I get to the amount of comments you must make sure that you like the videos it helps

The channel out every single time guys if you just watch any of my stuff if you could like the video and comment underneath it’s great for the algorithm everyone loves it um I’ll reply to as many comments as I possibly can do anyway and of course it just helps the

Channel out so thank you very much and you have to be a subscriber obviously to win these custom uh fit set of VES of your choice from either sub7 or 11 golf now I’m still waiting on all of the other sub7 irons to come now I have been

Promised that they will be here but I’ve been promised I don’t know how many times and um the people at sub7 and 11 golf they are so busy um yeah at least it’s a set of clubs and not a really pound purse yes that’s true if um yeah if it

Was actually money then that would be a bit of a pain but no this the whole idea it’s a bit of fun of course it is but the whole function of this is trying to bring into line a little bit of how you can use boring statistics to

To make better decisions when playing golf now okay on that one straight away if you from that point of view if you want to become more consistent if you want to score better work on your driv and approach play absolutely if you want to score more consistently short game and putting

That’s what we needed to understand from this there’s a difference but there you go so well done to everybody who jumped in well done for everyone who added their point of view to it there you go crazy times isn’t it we are all tied at the top there look ice

Trey and Neils and Wasteland and William and a Special K user Pete Steves up there at 36 Francisco Francisco um unless there’s a different Francisco so yeah even when I hear these things I still make bad decisions out there yes um unfortunately people do have brain farts um Francis yes it’s me you’re

Doing well mate you’re up there you are doing well so um this is the so I’ve done I’ve done quite a few uh OnCourse lessons I’m generally speaking I’m not a great fan of doing OnCourse lessons there’s many reasons why I’m not a great fan of doing OnCourse lessons um one if

I do an long course lesson I do not play because the whole idea is not having the person your client the person who you’re teaching to stand there going oh you he that so well no the whole life idea is you don’t watch me hit shots I’m here

Watching you hit shots and making decisions so we can have a look at what you’re doing not for basically the time that I’m charging you for Wasted by me H okay got the idea so I do not play that’s the whole idea of it I’m sitting there and initially I will just stand

There and be your caddy and I will let you talk of course I’m wanting you not at the start but then as it goes through I want you to then basically just commentate what what’s going through your head and of course then I’ll jump in but whole idea first of all is just

Sort of see how you play Just without doing anything without you vocalize and everything because as soon as you vocalize it obviously you’re concentrating on it um but let you play and obviously whatever decisions you make then we’ll just I’ll just leave it be and then couple of holes in but then

We’ll talk about uh okay vocalize what you’re doing in your head what decisions you making what you looking at what what any kind of consideration that goes through your head just focalize it and if it’s something about you’re thinking about what you can have for dinner

Focalize that as well cuz at least I know what’s going for your brain um and then of course we go into more depth as to why you making decisions like that and why do you use this club golf club this distance is far we know how far you

Hit this and we know how far you hit that why did you choose that BL so that’s the that’s a big bit the reason why I don’t do them is because obviously it’s a TimeWise it’s either very very expensive for the client as you can imagine or and also from my point of

View as well it’s time as in I’ve got to drive to wherever it’s going to be uh come away from obviously doing YouTube and stuff like that and then it’s just a there’s the light I’ll move that back there you go right so there you go nice and quick and relatively easy this

Evening um so I’ll be online now for another minute so anyone who wants to get anything in the chat section get in there quick now um before I disappear and then we’ll probably be doing another some from stats of Strokes question if I can get it done tomorrow I’m busy at the

Moment on the floor you cannot see no you can’t see anything um on the floor behind me is an absolute blooming mess I have been busy busy busy today uh can you see anything no you can’t right so in that case then um which one is it which one is it

Which one is it right so I’ve been doing is that the right Matt everyone knows got the max that’s the max Fairway three but I’ve also got it might be bit bit dirty underneath because I’ve been on the computer obviously um hit and shots so I’ve got

The seven and I got the five and there’s some interesting data coming from those two uh the max they just do not want to you go offline I’ve also got down here I have the hybrids the max as well uh and they are in three four and I’ve got the

Six hybrid as well and that’s lofted at 28° standard which is only one degree uh weaker than my five iron so I’m going to be doing that test I’m also going to be putting up against my five iron I’m going to set it probably keep

At 28° cuz like for like a hybrid will hit it further than an iron because that potentially depending on how well that six hybrid gets off that might find its way in the bag you never know we’ll see review to come we’ll see um then I’ve also got while something I’ve got

The pro fly high done the data set for that one today as well I’ve also got the Cleveland launchers the Halos the irons I got two sets of irons I’ve got two drivers I’ve got a hybrid and a fairywood and I’ve got loads of sandwiches and I’ve still got the Wilson

Carbon driver to do I’ve still got the dark speed drivers to do I’ve got one driver still waiting for two others I think and I’ve got all the fairywood so they need doing as well and I’ve got to do all the Compares for the i530 video that I did today I’m getting obviously

Requests to do 245 and p790 comparisons all that lot so I am a busy Bunny and the problem is I haven’t got enough time in the day to be to do everything there you go i’ got so much to do right guys thank you very much um

Appreciate your time as always and then when it comes to the members we’ll see each other again on Monday when it comes to our weekly live stream if anyone wants to become a member you’re more than welcome you can just pop into um my homepage and it will have a little

Button called join click on the join and it’ll be options of if you have a read through there’s no obligation whatsoever but it’s great for the channel if you could do uh and also gets you into the members only live streams where we talk about all the stuff which is coming when

It comes to embargoed stuff any kind of stuff behind the scenes Etc going on sneak peeks at certain things that’s the idea right so U Francesco says I started last June and currently playing better I swing my short clubs and the high 70 in

The long in the 80s to 85 the thing is my consistency last week I measured the swing weight of the clubs uh are in the C7 to C9 should I add some lead tape well it is quite is quite light but depending on on if you can feel the head

Weight if you can feel where the head is in 3D space then no or effectively all that would do is allow you to swing The Mask quicker you already said that you are not the um fastest swinger in the world so potentially by adding weight what you will do unfortunately would be

To um potentially lower your speed and that’s the only thing generally speaking as soon as you change swing weight you can um interfere with how much speed you generate which obviously from someone who swings say 92 95 whatever miles hour that’s not an issue but for someone who

Swings a lot slower than that and speed is a key you need as much speed as you can possibly must then I would just I mean obviously test it test it my mind hello hi all wavy says wave to my mind hell Los sir um so yeah unfortunately

Just dropped jumped in and as I’m about to jump off um because we literally just done the answer program but again um my mind you can jump back on and see the um replay so I’ll do this one and then I’ll do the replay after this so right guys

Thank you very much appreciate your time as always well done to everybody well done to Neils well done to ice tray we are is getting to the nitty-gritty side now it’s touch and go they are they are literally neck and neck oh it’s a bit of fun isn’t it so

But at least we’re learning a long the way so right guys thanks very much as always and we’ll see everybody very soon

  1. I'm rather shocked by the answer to the first question… Honestly, looking at my official comp scores and those of my mates, we're about 30% to be "boring scorers" with 10 (or frankly less than that) spread between worse or bests scores… Sure we're pretty decent golfers so that's bound to be more than the general population, so I said 20%, still, I'm shocked!!! I even have a pal who played 10 official comps last year and has a 4 points difference between the best score (73) and the worse (77)… I'm guessing that ARCCOS data base includes "every time you play" not just the comps where you want to score well (that's mostly bogey avoidance, and making sure you really don't get doubles or triples), warm up well, have food and water and so on. Sure, I do have a large variation between "practice" rounds where I'm attacking like madman and get lucky, and other rounds where I'm also trying things (which might be stupid, but need to be tried to be sure) and it doesn't work (trying to drive that green 290 yards away with water on the left, and the back, a steep slope to the forest on the right… you get an eagle from time to time, doubles the rest of days 😉 ).
    Second question, now that I think of it, it's fairly obvious, chipping and bunker play can save you when you're on a bad ball striking day… making for less variation in scores. However, if you're on bad chipping day, solid approach play saves you. And it also helps when you spray it off the tee! But clearly short game on average stabilises scores the most, now that I think of it.
