1.) We’re Not That Good: The average 18-hole score on a full-size course is 97 for men and 114 for women. It’s an even 100 for all golfers. The average golf score has changed very little over the last 50 years, despite all the significant advances in equipment technology. Only a very small elite break 80 on a consistent basis.
2.) And That’s Not Gonna Change: USGA research has shown that very rarely will a golfer significantly improve after playing for 3 years.
3.) We Don’t Want To Be Reminded Were Not Good: Less than 20% of all golfers maintain a handicap, which averages 19-20. When asked what they’d like to shoot, most golfers say they’d be satisfied if they could shoot 85 on an 18-hole regulation course on a regular basis.

4.) But We Try To Make Golf More Enjoyable: Only 23% of golfers admit to strictly following the USGA Rules of Golf. Why so few? Because adhering to them produces a frustrating and unsatisfactory experience for the vast majority of golfers.
5.) But That’s Not Enough: The number of rounds played has been flat for years despite a significant number of new course openings.
6.) And Many Are Losing Interest Or Giving Up: Core golfers, who account for 80% of rounds played, are playing less and three million golfers leave the game every year.
7.) Which Is Why The SortaGolf Revolution Is Here to improve satisfaction among recreational golfers while maintaining competitive integrity and the essential essence of the great game of golf.

Who’s really doing more ”for the good of the game“..the USGA or the SGA?
