Those are usually the statistics to track - fairways hit, and greens in regulation. If you are 80-90% in each of those, you are going to have a great score. If you're 20-30% in each, you're going to have a long day.

While this is true, is it realistic for
recreational golfers to be hitting more than 10 GIR??
5 GIR sets up for bogey golf, which could be the a great day for most.
From 130 yards from the fairway, 21% of shots from PGA tour players MISS the green.
