85 HOW AN AVERAGE ROUND IS COMPILED

Whatever your handicap, most club golfers can relate to a round in the mid-80s, says Shot Scope – and this graphic breaks down how it is compiled.

Arguably most surprising is the number of bunker shots – just two. While a sound bunker game is, of course, a plus, its importance in your final score perhaps gets a little inflated.

Naturally, putting is the clear leader in shots played, with 41% of the round taking place on the green. That’s why this feature covers both long and short putts.

But elsewhere, your most common shots are driver off the tee, longer approaches, wedge approaches and greenside chips.

We’ll look at these in more detail before TG Top 50 teacher Darren Parris helps you improve your performance in each of these key areas.
