Golf consistency

Golf amateurs mostly have problems with consistency. One category especially becomes desperate with that – the bogey players. They are in the frontier to become scratch golfers - the dream of all amateurs - and each bad stroke is real torture and most of times are difficult to overcome in the following hole. One day it is the power game that doesn’t work, another day it is the short game, other the putting and the player don’t know what the reason for his inconsistency is.

Those who care about and look for the reasons behind the results need to register their performance in all aspects of the game. A tool very helpful for that is now available on the Internet at the site http://www.golfcaddyfile.com/. You can try it for free during some months and check for the aspects you need to improve systematically in training with or without professional aid. The tool provided is a kind of tailor-made one. You can use it in full or just in the aspects you intend.

Let’s explain how it works. Usually a golf player takes note of the number of strokes and some others of the number of putts too. This is important but is not enough. If you just count these two numbers in each hole you get at that site important information as for example: the average in Greens in Regulation, the average number of putts in a round and in the Greens in Regulation, the average performance in the pars 3, 4 and 5. This information tells you what are the pars with better performance and allows a comparison with the best performances in the world so that you know where you are in a global ranking of performance.

But there are other aspects in the game that can be systematically analysed what requires statistic information too. That site in full use provides you with 17 indicators of different aspects of your game performance. You just need to collect 6 different data from each hole: the number of strokes and putts, the driving accuracy and distance, the sand saves and the up & downs. Comparing this data of your performance with the one of the best players worldwide you have a clear notion where you need to improve: the driving, the putting, the middle game, the bunker shots, the shorter game around the greens and it is not all. The site gives you information about how you react to bad holes and how you recover from – the bounce back indicator tells you if you recover from a previous bad performance. With all that information you are ready to tackle the weakest aspects of your game during training and to tell your golf professional what you really need to improve.

Most of the times the golf professional only looks at your swing in the driving range trying to fit it in his concepts of the perfect swing. But average golf amateurs will never get the perfect swing ever. They have their own swing and want to play and get better results. So, as the golf professional doesn’t know what your real performance in the course is, in fact he doesn’t know which aspects of your game you really need to improve. That information only you can provide him. But, as one day is one aspect and the other day another, you need to collect statistical information and compare it with the best performers.

That is what provides the tool of the http://www.golfcaddyfile.com/ . Try it and enjoy your game!
