Fairways Hit? NO!
Our ability to hit the fairways has long been the traditional measure of driving accuracy. It is, after all, our goal when we stand on the tee of a par 4 or par 5 hole; but, like most of the “traditional stats” in golf, it is one-dimensional. It is a simple yes/no answer to the question that forces us to focus mainly on the Yes. Why, because the Yes is understood to be a positive outcome, albeit without the important dimension of distance; but, the No has a myriad of undefined, negative possibilities with a far greater impact on the game.
