  Par 3's are counting negatively towards the driving accuracy statistic..... Not every time but on occasion

  Are you hitting driver off the tee?

   As far as I'm aware, anything other than driver doesn't count toward that stat .... never has in my 2+ years, anyhow.

  Always hit driver off the tee for that reason, which is lame because it shouldn't matter what club you use.  I will post a s/shot if it happens again.  Check out my post under product suggestions and lets get this changed.

  Playing the course setup for 18 holes.  I hit 12 fairways, there are four par 3's.

  18-4 = 14......... 12/14 = 85.7, which as you know always shows up as 86

  So wtf, why am i getting 79%

  And it happens all the time where i am given a lower percent than i should. I am watching it very closely and YES the only club i use off the tee is Driver.

  I also like to track stats.  I think it's one of the best ways to improve your game ("that which is measured, improves").  I keep a spreadsheet of all my stats, updated about every 50 rounds, and it has helped alot.  It got me focused on GIR for awhile, which got me to legend tier.  Then I started working on distance to pin and 1-putt %, which has taken me a bit further.  Sand saves and scrambling % are also important.

  That said, I also notice that driving stats and GIR are also off from time to time, although I haven't seen this on RSG.  I'll look out for it, and report if I see the same.

  I admittedly don't know Master tees, but do you really use driver on #5?  From back tees, I'd want a very strong tailwind to go for that low % shot.  I don't think the tee advantage is that great.  A layup with 3-wood gives you a pretty good look at birdie.  Now, of course, that wouldn't explain the % issue you brought up.  Just curious.

  Same to me.

  I've hit all 14 fairways and have a percentage of 93.

  I'm using the 3 wood on # 5.

  If someone is interested I've made screenshots and could post them.

  Are you using your driver on either of the long par 3's?

  Nah, what i meant was that something is causing the driving accuracy percent to be lower than it should be.  So, one thought was that somehow a par 3 is mistakenly being added into the fairway percent tabulation.  I doubt this is happening, but I sometimes just feel like i'm losing my mind, when i know i only use driver off par 4 & 5 tees, and the % comes out wrong.
