Know your yardages
What’s your short game score?

Your total score after 18-holes has a lot to do with the clubs at the bottom of your bag. But before we can know just how much, we need to work out your short game score.

You might be struggling to break 100 and spending the majority of your practice time hitting drives and long iron shots. When in fact, it’s your short game that’s holding you back. That’s why knowing the number of shots you average from inside 100 yards (your short game score) is so important.

This week’s benchmark

Take 3 shots to hole out once inside 100 yards.

Achieve this benchmark on every hole over an 18-hole round and you’re probably breaking 100 (maybe even 90). This benchmark tells us how much focus we need to place on your short game, and whether putting or wedge play should be the priority. If you’ve completed last week’s challenge and haven’t shared your score, you can do so now.

Bonus benchmark challenge

Head to a practice green and set up 3 easy shots; 3 medium challenge shots; and 3 difficult shots. If your final score is over 27, we’ve got an opportunity to transform your greenside experience.

Knowledge is power

Breaking down your game based on yardages makes it easier to identify your strengths and weaknesses. The better we know your yardages, the more specific we can get in your improvement process.
