That's one of the measurable markers between the different scoring/ability levels of golf. You can measure it in Greens in Regulation just as surely as you can measure it in playable driving distance. 90 shooters only hit a few. 80 shooters hit maybe half a dozen. You need to get down to Scratch golfers before you find players hitting more than half the greens, generally speaking. This is a function of two things. On, obviously, is accurate distance off the tee. If you hit it farther, and still keep it in play well enough to go for the green from a shorter distance, you'll hit more greens. You won't if that extra distance puts you behind trees, or in the bush, or in water, or bunkers, or way off line. But you will if it keeps you in or close to the fairway. The other, obviously, is getting more accurate from full swing distance, especially between 100 and 150 yards, which is the sweet spot where most better players hit their shorter irons and stronger wedges. I believe 90 shooters average well off the green from 150 yards, 80 shooters average around about on the edge, and scratch golfers average around longer two putt range. Pretty major difference. In other words, if you can hit the green regularly from 150 yards out, you're a pretty darn good golfer. I haven't watched the video yet, (looking forward to it. I like your content a lot.) So I don't know which you cover, or if you cover both. Should be interesting.

Thank you, Sean. That's a great way to put it and being accurate from that 100 - 150 yard window is definitely something I can see the impact of on the days where I am and the days when I'm not 🤓

Jess - I was the one that played through that hole yesterday when you were filming. I can vouch that your ball did indeed land back left on the green. Great shot on a tricky par 3. Great tip also. Thank you. I’m on a similar journey to yours, albeit not quite as impressive. 28 down to 11.4 in 2 years. I’ve been trying many of the things you’ve highlighted, but not with quite the same success, but still going 😊. Best of luck with it all. Cheers, Shane.

I am not playing well… so might try this little move your having luck with in my Saturday match in about 11 hours. My short game is alright so I make changes as I play 😮. My capp has sky rocketed to a 7 from a 4 for about 20years- but am playing a lot more away from home these days in between tournaments . My swing needs some work- I look forward to the winter too. I am setting up an indoor range for the winter. Will you do the same?

Won our match but we all played a little less than good. I was 84 with a double, triple, double stretch and was only 4 over on the 10th tee. Driver out of bounds, stuck in the sand with my new 56* that clearly needs a little work and then a thoughtless short game chipping long on a severely sloped green for a 3 putt in successive holes. I am leaving the course very disappointed these days. Oh well, there’s a women’s rugby match on between eng and can to distract me. England is dominating play so far. 😢

Ah, the luxury of being able to work on the heavy technique changes in the winter months. Simply not possible for me, alas. All that's open here in the Greater Toronto Area over the winter is one golf dome, (that's like a huge rib and air supported heavy fabric structure, like a tennis dome, for those who don't know), and a few indoor golf lounges. No outdoor courses or ranges are going to be open when the temperature is below freezing and there's usually snow on the ground. And all those indoor options are prohibitively expensive for me. I don't have that budget. I might be able to make room for a hitting matt and net in my garage, but it would take a lot of clearing out, and I'd have to really bundle up. My garage is basically the same temperature as the outdoors. So from Nov 1 when most of the courses close around here because of how cold and wet the weather is getting, until sometime in April, when the courses start to get borderline playable again, I am out of luck. Just what it is, I guess.

@@jessratcliffegolf Our winters here in Toronto are quite liveable compared to most of the rest of the country, or to most of the northern United States. The Great Lakes protect us and moderate temperature, but we are not downwind from the snow that often blows off them. We're quite lucky. But we don't get winter golf. :)

Nice clutch 2nd putt!!! Those knee knockers take it out on your nerves over a round, don't they? I also find those downhill 30 to 40 footers really tough, don't you? The margin for error between leaving it way short and blowing it way by seems so small. I've heard that even scratch golfers will average more than 2 putts from that far away, especially downhill like that. So I guess hitting greens doesn't solve everything. But I believe we do tend to score better on average from 40 feet away on the green than from 25 yards away off it. So hitting that many more greens must be helping your score, yes?
@jessratcliffegolf

That was a scary one! You're right, those knee knockers really do take a toll over the round. And I've been doing exactly what you say, either leaving putts way too short or sending them flying past, so I've been giving myself a lot of those knee knockers, which isn't ideal. One of the things I can struggle with is gauging the pace of the green as conditions change, especially if it's one that's been in the shadows or sun or if I start a round early morning and finish mid-morning, so the pace of the past green doesn't quite translate to the next. Yes, definitely helping the score and hopefully that will continue as I work on that putting to make the most 🤓

remember that casting is also the result of centrifugal force, that's why you never fire from the top. longer backswings don't always equate to more speed. shorten it

Jess, if you need help with your sequencing, weight shift etc do yourself a favour and watch GRF Golf, the guys a genius, teaches the game in a completely different way. I stumbled across him a year or so ago and dont bother with anyone else. I cant understand why no one else is teaching the same way. Watch a few of his clips and see what you think. Good luck
