In order to achieve the stated goal of scratch golf, we need to have a firm understanding of what is working & how I continue to improve and refine, and what isn’t working and why. As of August 30th, 2022 I am sitting at an 8.2 handicap index. All stats and data points are provided by The Grint App.

A quick note on The Grint App. It has become my favorite of the golf tracking applications. It handles GPS but also has a tracking ability of distance. And, as you will see coming up, you have the ability to see a great amount of data to improve your overall game. One of my favorite data points is the handicap by specialized shot. For example, I am an 8.2 handicap but my putting is that of a 15.1 handicap.

In attempting to improve the overall success of your golf game, it is easier to think of it as four separate categories, each of which can be broken down within those sections. This should come as little surprise to experienced players of the game, but for sake of clarity, we will cover them. The next few days will provide updates on ‘off the tee’, ‘iron play’, ‘around the green’, & putting.
