Improve your handicap

ShotbyShot.com to improve your handicap

I tried the one round free trial of shotbyshot.com. From what I’ve gathered, it looks like it compares several stats from your game with known statistics of other handicappers. I estimate that I’m about an 11 handicap and I want to get in the 6-9 handicap range.

After entering one round, here’s what I’ve found out.


My long game plays to a 3 handicap.

My chipping game plays to a 23 handicap. This is based on evaluating short game shots from 50 yards and in. Out of 7 chances, I hit the green 4 times. Remember this is based on one round and I had two nearly impossible chip shots.

My sand game plays to a 35 handicap but this was based on one sand shot total.

My putting game plays to a +6 handicap. Right up with the pros. Went 18 without a 3 putt.

I see why they give you a free trial of one round. It really takes several rounds to truly evaluate your game. I may give it a shot though.

Here’s an important fact, the average male stride is 25 inches and not 36 inches so you have to stride out to get a 36 inch step.
