Garmin golf - Stroke gained comparison versus averge

Former Member over 5 years ago

In garmin golf, performance stats, shot overview

My stats are significantly below average players from my similar handicap. I dont really understand because if its a comparison to other with similar level, i cant be above in all categories.

I understand how stroke gained stat is calculated but the comparison, i dont. It's a cool feature and i want to use it to find my improvement areas...

I use it too - I assume that "Player on same level" relates to the calculated handicap. So you can theoretically be above or below average in all categories although handicap and Stokes gained should correlate to some extend. Garmin doesnt really explain a lot on the topic.

I like Garmins way of doing this, because its easy to capture the data via the Garmin watch, but I miss some more insight to the data set, calculations and especially the ability to download it so I can follow the progress.

It's absolutely pointless comparing how your stats stack up against players with similar handicaps. It needs to show how your stats compare to other handicaps, eg 5 hcp, so you can see what you need to work on to get to that level.

I use a Pinpoint Golf app to track distances to the green on the course and keep my score. You can download it from here.
