How do you compare to the Tour Average?

A lot of golfers (and non-golfers) get drawn into the mystique of the PGA & LPGA players, saying things like "from 100yds a Pro always sticks it inside of 10ft" or "from 6ft a Pro makes them ALL the time".

This can often lead to a misconception that Pro's make everything they look at and hit every shot pure.
This is simply not the case!

I am not for one minute saying that the Pro's aren't very good because, well they are! They are amazing. But look at a few of these stats and it will show that whilst Pros are VERY VERY good, they are not infallible.

Listed are some of the key stats on tour, these are the averages as of today......see how you stack up and see if your putting too much pressure on yourself......!!
