A 15 handicap hits a wedge from 50 yards to 20 feet and drops his head in disappointment. Would his reaction be different if he learned that shot was much better than average?

Of all the mistakes golfers make, the ones tied to their expectations can be the costliest. The good news is this is a problem you can solve without a second of practice, and that’s why we’re excited by our new Golf Digest+ interactive, "How Do You Compare?"

Working with our partners at Arccos Golf, we poured through data from more than 13 million rounds to provide some benchmarks around a wide range of handicaps. Then we layered in stats from the PGA Tour to see how you might match up against the best players in the world. This innovative feature will help shed new light for golfers on their strengths, their weaknesses, and how they compare to golfers everywhere.
