Statistics and Strategies for Breaking 90 in Golf

Breaking 90 is a huge milestone in your golf journey. In fact, the National Golf Foundation has calculated that only 26% of golfers break 90 regularly.

In this article, I will explore the differences between golfers who can break 90 and those who have yet to achieve that milestone. I will analyze statistics collected from Shot Scope to break down the characteristics of the average 15-handicapper or sub-90 scorer. 

According to Shot Scope data, 15-handicap players average 18.41 strokes over par, which is just over 90 on a par-72 course, and breaking 90 on a par 71 or 70 course. On an above-average day, 15-handicappers are breaking 90, which makes them the ideal statistical benchmark for players looking to break 90.

After breaking down the statistics, I will give you my professional advice on how to break through this awesome milestone and start breaking 90 regularly.
