And perfect timing. I’m a 6 handicap and working to drive it lower this year. One big “ah ha” moment was when I recently got Arccos. It is showing me that my “short game” performance from 0-25 yards is that of a 10 handicap but that my performance from 25-50 yards is that of a +4! I can see, clearly in the data, that I get closer from 25-50 yards than I do from 0-25 and I think the reason is exactly what you are describing here. The closer I am, the more aggressive I THINK I should be (aim at the flag, get it close, etc.), whereas when I’m in that 25-50 yard range, my #1 goal is to just get it on the green. By chance, luck, or skill I end up getting it closer more often from that range! Really good stuff.
