18Birdies Stats: Track Your Progress, Crush Your Scoring Goals

At 18Birdies, we understand that golf can be both enjoyable and frustrating at the same time, especially when trying to improve. That's why we did a total redesign of our stats, charts, and comparisons, to make it easier than ever to spot exactly where you can improve, so you spend less time analyzing and more time practicing, strategizing, and, of course, having fun.

A Sleeker, Smarter Stats Experience

We’ve overhauled the entire stats experience to make tracking your game quicker, more intuitive, and more enjoyable. The redesigned interface is sleek, clean, and easy to navigate, so you can quickly find the insights you need without getting lost in the details. We’ve reorganized key stats, updated charts to improve the readability, and refined the layouts. Each of these makes it simple to drill down into specific areas of your game or see the bigger picture at a glance. 

With this new design, you’ll spend less time scrolling and more time understanding what’s working, so you can bring that knowledge straight to your next round.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and how these insights can help you level up!

Post-Round: Dive Deeper Into Your Game

After draining that final putt, it’s time to get into the clubhouse for some serious insights! With our latest stats update, you’ll find clear breakdowns that reveal how each part of your game stacks up, especially if you’re using Strokes Gained. From approach shots, first putt distances, Fairways Hit, and much more, these metrics make it simple to see what’s working and what could use a bit of practice.

Premium members, we’ve got even more for you!

You can benchmark yourself against specific handicap groups and even see how you measure up on individual holes and your entire round. Knowledge is power, and with these stats, you’ll be on track to dropping strokes to hit your Scoring Goal.

Key Stats in Your Profile: Know Your Game

When you check out your stats, you’ll have even more data at your disposal to help you gauge your game against the best of the best. 

• Average 1st putt: Gauge your approach accuracy by checking out how close you’re leaving yourself on putts.
• Average Approach: Understand how your approach shots are hurting or helping you. Knowing your average distances can help you choose the right club and approach for every shot.
• Fairways Hit: How often are you in the fairway off the tee? More fairways mean better positioning for your next shot.
• Greens in Regulation: How many times you reach the green in the regulation amount of shots (1 for a par 3, 2 for a par 4, 3 for a par 5)
• Putts Per Round and Per Hole: Overall how many times you use the flat stick per hole and per round. 
• Up and Down: Up and Down is 1 chip and 1 putt to get the ball in the hole. 
• Sand Saves: Similar to up and down, this is a measure of how often you will be able to save a par or birdie from a greenside bunker. 
• Number of 3 Putts: This can be the main indicator of how well you’re putting.
• Penalties: Avoid these score-killers by making smarter decisions.
• Scoring Distribution: Track your average score by par 3s, 4s, and 5s and see how often you’re making pars or better (and avoiding double bogeys).
• Round History: Compare your most recent rounds to all of the rounds that you’ve played this year to get more insights into which areas of your game are improving.
• Compare with the Pros and Handicap Groups: Want to see how you measure up against the pros or others with similar handicaps? Now you can compare all of your Strokes Gained stats with various groups by handicaps or against the pros, giving you a clear picture of where you excel and where there’s room for improvement.

With these stats, you get actionable insights that help you understand where to focus your practice. And there’s nothing like seeing how you stack up against other golfers, whether they’re your peers or the pros.

Once you understand what you need to work on, start your practice plan at 18Birdies Golf School to get easy-to-follow instructional videos, drills, and assessments proven to lower your scores fast.
