2016 Golf Year in Review

2016 Golf Year in Review

I've played my last round of 2016 so like I've done the last several years here a bunch of my stats.  I like to look back and see what I did well and what I did worse at.  This has been an interesting golf year. 2015 wasn't a good year and 2016 became even worse.  I lost 40 pounds in the last year and a half and the weight loss really affected my swing.  I'm still learning almost a new swing since I don't have to swing around my body as much as I used to. 

So here goes, my year in statistical form:

Fairways: Best 100%, Worst 22.43%, Average 56% (2015 average was 63%)
GIR's: Best 66.67%, Worst 11.11%, Average 34% (2015 ave. 40%)

GIR+1: 75% (2015 - 82%)
