Exactly. No way.

Arccos analysis suggests tour pros hole: 98% inside 2 feet, 62% 3-5 ft, 43% from 6-9 feet…. Remember, these figures come from the elite golf pros who play on generally fast and smooth greens that generally run true. However, as Hannah says, holing 94% inside 6ft, and you will almost certainly score consistently well.

It does seem high to me but that is what the Shot Scope data shows! remember these will be mainly club golfers who are recording rounds at their home club every week on significantly easier greens which will likely play a big factor in this

@@hannahholdenNCG Systems such as shot scope and Arccos are great, but putting is one area where they're more difficult to use. I suspect the data is not as strong in this area and that's a large part of the discrepency.

@@wadesworld6250 Yes I agree

My grandmother was a great golfer, and state champion a couple of times in the 1930's. She always told me not to try to stop the ball on a dime, but instead, to focus on learning to pitch and run. I try that shot often, and it is indeed very handy.

I think people really do underestimate how much these little things all add up to make a huge difference to scoring!

Totally agree I’m only at 11 right now with a target of 5 by end of next year. Had barley broken 90 all year this year after some time out. Put time into my short game and a lot of what’s said in this video and haven’t shot above 85 in the last 2 months. Loads to take from leaving ego in the car and playing percentage shots. 👍👍

Y’all like the kids on COD that say the people you play with are trash without saying they’re trash

I think that’s a trait of most high level professional sportsmen and women. Believe in your ability, single mindedness. Never doubt yourself and know that even if your first shot isn’t quite up to scratch…you have the ability to make up for it on your second and third!!

@@AsadKhan-lm6yr totally agree 👍 well said........im back playing again now and have been back playing for 6 months and already shooting in the 70s because of this!! I still have that mind set ....the confidence in my ability 👍

@@TheTraditionalGolfer well done must have been something not good to stop you playing this fantastic game especially with your talent glad youre back playing and enjoying low scores again

@@timhayes629 thankyou kindly Tim thats really nice words 👍 yes it was a broken relationship and also suffering with depression because of some other sad life events.....its fantastic to be back playing this wonderful game I have my passion back for it again and in a much better place now. I have an old set of tp19 bladed mizuno irons in the bag and still enjoy hitting golf balls as much as I ever did 👍 cheers Tim thanks again

@@TheTraditionalGolfer Hey Jackson, great to hear this. I've been through the same and I've taken up golf again this year. What a great sport this is, so glad to be able to play with my mates, and feel the thrill of the competition again: I feel so much more alive thanks to this !

🤣🤣🤣 whoops!

Golf tells a lot about people on and off the course, if a person is "melting down" at the average age of the typical golfer they really need to get a grip!

Thanks!

I'm loving those tips too. And those legs, Oh my.

Agree, but I wanted to focus on non technical elements, some people just don't want to change their technique!

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Thank you!!

Wow, thank you!! 🤩

I like that she backs it up with an awesome swing!

sounding creepy!

Yorkshire accents are the best...

I don’t even notice I’m doing it 🤣

People really underestimate the importance of good course management

@@hannahholdenNCG high handicap players (most) could immediately drop 10 shots if they thought better on the course

No. Nope. The way that golfers get to scratch is understanding the BASICS of the game and the BASICS of the grip and the BASICS of the swing, the tips included in this video, which most experienced golfers already know, some semi regular practice and at least some semi regular play, and natural, very excellent hand eye coordination that exceeds the hand eye coordination of about 95 percent or more of the rest of the other golfers. If hours and hours of practice was all it took, then there would be a lot higher percentage of golfers that were scratch golfers or 1,2, 3, or 4 handicappers, and even those low handicappers are relatively low in number and frequency. Hours and hours of practice might get you a couple or a few less really bad shots per round, but at best it is not going to improve most golfers scores by more than a few shots, maybe a ten percent reduction at the very most, except in the case of brand new golfers, or a very rare individual. How many golfers have you ever seen get significantly better at golf after they have already been playing the game for five years or more? Give the low handicappers and scratch golfers their full credit. They are strong enough to swing fast enough with enough precision to hit the ball far enough and straight enough to make a lot of pars and some birdies as well while minimizing the number of bogeys or worse. Oh, and they have excellent hand eye coordination on their short game chips and pitches too. And by the way they are also excellent putters with great distance control and directional accuracy. You don’t get all those skills and strength and accuracy and precision just by practicing. But I hope most golfers enjoy practicing even if it won’t make them a significantly better golfer.

@@scottdean27 If you can play 20 odd times a year and play off scratch you're insanely talented. Practice isn't all it takes, there's all the things you listed, but it's necessary to get to scratch.

🤣🤣

i would say this is more about scratch golfers are very good with knowing their numbers. If you ask a +3 to -4 player to hit a 165 shot he will be inside 5 yards tops. so work on dialing in your distance numbers m8 :) you got it :)

The 6-foot stat isn't wrong, it looks inflamed because it is for all putts inside 6 foot so 1ft and 2ft being at 100 and 3ft at 90 odd blow the numbers up :) yes proximity is one of the most important stats for scoring!

I have a video on it here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ5-otyhmNjPqmQ.html

Thanks!!

ur just bad

The best iron shafts I have used!

Yes seems high but it is for inside 6ft so 5ft and under. 1-3ft will be pretty close to 100% so it will make the overall percentage seem higher.

Eh, I only ask that if the other person hits it similar to me. If they’re longer/shorter, I just use rangefinder and pick my club based on that.

I know my golf buddies yardages just as well as my own, so using their result gives me more info.

Conversation..I ask my wife out of interest not to replicate...mostly down to shot shape rather than distance.

I know. That’s ridiculous. Their irons might be as much as 6 degrees stronger or weaker lofted than the other person’s iron also. That’s a club and a half difference and a lot of yards difference too. How do they expect to “adjust” for that discrepancy too?

From inside 6ft, so 1-5ft. 100% from 1-2feet will drag the data up yes.

Not the whole database but the app does let you compare all your different stats against loads of different handicap brackets

true 🤣

From inside 6ft, so 1-5ft. 100% from 1-2feet will drag the data up and also it is self reported but that is just what the data set I have says. It is hard to accurate amateur data as it is all self reported. but yes 94% from 6 foot would be insane.

Practice with a shoe box on the floor at the toe side of your golf ball, to hit the ball you have to keep the club inside the box and you can’t physically shank it then if you miss the box

🤣 don’t we all

That was actually intentional 👀

I would say this is only true if you don't have golf lessons, you can make huge improvements from good coaching. Nearly all skills can be learnt

@@hannahholdenNCG if you read me correctly I was talking about people taking lessons during 4 years . If you can’t make any better than 24 handicap after 4 years of lessons then there is a big chance that you’ll never be better no matter how many lessons you take. You don’t have this natural gift. I also said it doesn’t matter as long as you still enjoy playing.

true 🤣

Its putts inside 6ft, 1-3ft being nearly 100% drives the average up

@@hannahholdenNCG yeah that makes more sense :)

It's called a Yorkshire accent

@@hannahholdenNCG How has cracking of voice aka vocal fry anything to do with accent?

Hi 👋🏼 Hannah Holden I am the Equipment Editor here at National Club Golfer

Just how I roll 🤷🏼‍♀️ never noticed until everyone started commenting on it 🤣

@@hannahholdenNCG You carry on rolling. Don’t worry about others

It is from inside 6ft, so 1-5ft. It sounds higher than it is because it is probably 100% from 1-3ft which will drag the lower averages from 4 & 5ft up

Trust me with enough practice anyone can get to scratch

Oh no 🤣🤣 the worst feeling!!
