Frequently asked questions
What is shot dispersion and why does it matter?
Shot dispersion quantifies where your shots actually land, not where you intend them. High-handicappers have much wider dispersion than low-handicappers. Course management — aiming away from trouble, targeting the fat of greens — dramatically reduces scores for most amateurs.
What handicap do I need to aim at pins?
Single figures, generally. Most shots inside 10 handicap have ±8-12m dispersion with wedges — still wide. Only elite amateurs (scratch to 3 handicap) have the consistency to target tight pin positions regularly.
