What is Strokes Gained?
Strokes Gained tells you how much better or worse your shots are compared to average players.
Instead of just counting strokes, it shows how much you gained or lost based on where you hit from.
A positive number means you outperformed the benchmark.
A negative number means you lost strokes compared to that level of play.
This method helps identify exactly where you’re gaining or giving away shots, making it easier to improve.
Examples:
From 100 Yards (vs 15 HCP):
You’re 100 yards out. A 15-handicap averages 3.0 strokes.
You hit it close and make the putt in 2 — that’s +1.0 SG.
From 20 Yards (vs Scratch):
A scratch player averages 2.4 shots.
You chip on and two-putt (3 total) — that’s –0.6 SG.
From 80 Yards (vs PGA):
Tour average is 2.6.
You take 3 shots — that’s –0.4 SG.

How to Read This Chart
Each row shows a player’s wedge performance during WTTD2. The strokes gained (SG) columns compare their results against different skill levels:
- SG vs PGA – Compared to a Tour professional
- SG vs Scratch – Compared to a 0 handicap golfer
- SG vs 15 HCP – Compared to a recreational but skilled weekend golfer
Wedge HCP is a projection of your handicap for wedge play specifically.
It’s calculated based on your **best session** in WTTD2 and how your shots compared to scratch golfers from various wedge distances.
This number gives you a wedge-only handicap — a way to see how your short game stacks up independently of your driver or putting.

Proximity-to-Hole Chart
The bullseye sizes in Wedge Them To Death are tailored to match average proximity to the hole based on skill level. Each ring represents the typical landing zone for a PGA Tour player, a scratch golfer, or a 15-handicap golfer, giving players of all levels realistic — and challenging — targets.
This chart is the blueprint. Every ring on the green is backed by real data — not guesswork.
