We've expanded the Benchmarks section with 7 new statistics to help you understand your game at a deeper level — including Approach Shot Proximity by Distance, Scrambling Rate, Sand Save Rate, Birdie Rate, Par 3 and Par 5 Scoring Averages, and One-Putt Rate. You can now compare yourself to Tour professionals and every handicap level across all the areas that matter most. Line charts are now interactive — drag your finger across any chart to see the exact values at any distance or position for every skill level. A "Your Level" indicator now highlights your handicap's line in its matching color so you always know which line to watch. We also added an "All" button to instantly reset the Compare Levels filter, and improved the axis labels so it's always clear what you're reading. As always, thank you for playing SimpleGolfStats. We'd love to hear what stats you'd like to see next.

How do your stats stack up for your handicap? Now you can see at a glance — each stat card shows a benchmark average for your handicap level alongside your own, so you always have context for what "good" looks like for a golfer like you. We also made it easier to explore your data. You can now change the analysis period (Last 10, Last 20, etc.) directly inside a stat's chart view — no need to navigate back to switch it up. The Statistics screen has a cleaner new look too. Stat cards are now full-width and consistent in size, making them easier to scan and read at a glance.

Drives in Play This release adds Drives in Play — a new way to measure your tee shot performance that goes beyond the traditional fairways hit stat. A drive is "in play" when your tee shot leaves you in a position to take a normal swing toward the green — no penalty, no punch-out required. Research shows that each additional fairway hit only saves about 0.25 strokes for a 10-handicap, but a drive that isn't in play costs 1–2 strokes directly. This stat captures what actually separates good rounds from bad ones off the tee. Since courses have different numbers of par 3s, the stat automatically adjusts for your driving holes each round (typically 13–15). Just like Scoring Zone GIR, you enter how many drives were in play out of how many driving holes you played. Also new in Benchmarks: • Drives in Play by Handicap — see how your rate compares across handicap levels • Driver Carry Distance by Club Head Speed — a reference table showing expected carry from 80–120 mph, including optimal and typical amateur ranges
