Handicap by Age

Welcome to PGA Championship week! Hope you enjoyed round one and get a chance to take in the rest of the event.

We are going to keep this one short and sweet, for both your sake and mine! (Lots of golf to watch this week!).

Thanks to my buddy Aaron for the question. When you look at a given age group, what is the breakdown by handicap?

How to read: Take a look at the column for players age 40 to 44. If you add up all the numbers in this column, they add to 100%. In this age group, 1.0% of golfers in the Arccos database are plus index players, 9.2% have an index between 0.0 and 4.9, 25.0% have an index between 5.0 and 9.9, etc…

The table below is from the Arccos Golf database. (Use code DATALOU15 to save 15%)

My Thoughts

How do you stack up? Are you surprised at the break down?

No thoughts this week other than enjoy the rest of the PGA Championship!

See you next week!
