My 2012 Golf Stats & Courses Played Review

I spent some time last night going over my golf stats for 2012.  It cemented my thinking that improving my short game is what I need to focus on for 2013.  I use a Skycaddie SGX while playing and I record my stats for FWY's hit and putts on it and then upload them after the round is done.  I have to input sand traps, and penalties after the upload.  It's a very handy way to keep track of whats going on in my game.

These are for roughly 103.5 rounds played.  There were one or two partial rounds in the data where I quit early due to weather.

Fairways: Best 100%, Worst 14.3%, Average 56%
GIR's: Best 77.8%, Worst 11.1%, Average 40%
Putts: Best 27, Worst 43, Average 34
Low Round: 77 (3 times)
High Round: 105 (was on New Years Day 2012, 1st round of the year)
1 Albatross
3 Eagles
75 Birdies
720 Pars
674 Bogies
393 dbl Bogey+
15 OB penalties
80 Penalty strokes - .12 per hole
Average score on Par 3's - 3.77
Average score on Par 4's - 4.84
Average score on Par 5's - 5.79
Only 21 sand saves
278 sand shots (does not differentiate between greenside and fairway bunkers)
Scramble Percentage - 19%

3 Putt Percentage - 14%
GHIN high 12.6
GHIN low 8.4
GHIN on Jan 1, 2012:  10.0
GHIN on Dec. 15, 2012: 9.5

Really need to get that Scramble Percentage higher and the 3 Putt Percentage lower!  Working through a couple of books right now that I think will help.  Dave Stockton's "Unconscious Putting", and Dave Pelz' "Short Game Bible".  (I only read books by guys named Dave!)

My sand play is really bad too.  A greenside bunker is an almost automatic double bogey.
