So our commish got bored in the offseason and built a little stats sheet for the league. Nothing fancy, just a Google sheet with fairways, GIR, putts, and a running scoring average. He posts an updated version in the clubhouse every couple weeks and emails it out.
I honestly thought it would be a whatever thing. But now I'm checking it like a maniac. Last week I found out I'm hitting 38% of greens and I felt personally attacked. Went out Saturday and spent the whole round thinking about GIR instead of just playing golf. Shot 84 and I couldn't tell you if I had fun or not because all I cared about was that I only hit 5 greens.
The putting numbers are the brutal part. My buddy who I've been giving strokes to for two years is averaging 1.7 putts per hole and I'm sitting at 1.9. That's a whole stroke and a half a round just on the greens. He's been quietly letting me hand him money all season, the bastard.
Anyway I'm torn. On one hand it's actually making me practice smarter, I've been on the putting green way more. On the other hand I think it's actively ruining my enjoyment of a casual league night. Anyone else's league do the stats thing? Did you get hooked or did you tune it out?
