Have you ever found yourself consistently coming up short of the green, wondering why your shots aren't reaching the flag? Ben and Chad from BE Golf are here to shed light on the number one reason behind this common frustration.
Understanding Carry vs. Total Distance
According to Ben, the primary issue golfers face is not knowing their carry distance. "Everybody just knows their total distance," he explains. This becomes problematic when transitioning between different golf courses—what works on a soft course may fall short on a firm one. "If you don't know how far the ball is going to carry, you have no idea what it's going to take to carry certain hazards," Ben emphasizes.
Taking Advantage of X Golf's Data
Filmed at X Golf in Novi, Ben and Chad demonstrate how beneficial it is to understand your carry distance using data. "The cool thing about coming here is that you can learn and take advantage of their data," Chad remarks. With an 8-iron in hand, Ben predicts a 154-yard carry and puts it to the test. The shot actually carries 156 yards, highlighting the importance of accurate distance knowledge.
Using Average Carry Distance for Decision Making
They stress the importance of using average carry distances rather than your best shot's distance when making decisions on the course. "Another reason people come up short is they use their best shot as a measurement," Ben explains. By relying on averages—like the 157-yard average from Ben's shots—golfers can better gauge their approach, aiming to be consistently accurate rather than occasionally lucky.
