What does average score mean in my VectorGOLF scorecard insights, and how is it calculated?
In plain language, what does "Average Score" mean on my monitor or export?
Average score is the mean of your 18-hole gross scores across all tracked rounds. It is the most fundamental measure of overall playing ability.
Units: strokes per 18 holes
Why does this metric matter for ball flight, dispersion, or scoring?
Average score captures the full picture — driving, approach, short game, and putting. It is the single best number for tracking improvement over time and setting realistic goals.
What is a typical or competitive range for this stat?
Scratch: 72. Single-digit handicap: 75-82. Mid-handicap: 85-95. High-handicap: 100+.
What usually makes this number look bad or noisy in real rounds?
Blowup holes inflate averages more than steady bogey golf. Tracking eliminates selective memory — you see the real number, not the number you remember.
