Abstract
In a method for analyzing the driving accuracy of a golfer, the number of fairway hits and the severity level of the number of fairway misses is adjusted based on a course rating and slope rating of the current and average courses in a database. An adjusted total stroke cost is applied to a driving accuracy handicap lookup table to produce a driving accuracy handicap. This handicap is graphically displayed to the user by itself, or compared to the driving accuracy handicap of users of the same or similar skill level. Finally, a hole-by-hole analysis can be graphically displayed to give a graphic representation of where the golfer needs improvement.
