  If you hit a green on your drive, you missed the fairway.  Could this be part of it? 

  No. If you exit the game before finishing the hole, when you come back to the game, you will not get driving percentage credit for hitting that fairway. I have not tried this on every hole of every course obviously, but my guess is that it is the same on every hole. Play Chambers Bay and you will see what I am talking about. Hit a drive in the fairway on #1. Before you finish the hole, save and exit the game. Come back to the game and finish the hole. When it shows your scorecard after finishing the hole, click on stats. Then click on driving. Your driving percentage after playing just that one hole will be 0%, even though you had hit the fairway.

  If I play the first hole at Chambers Bay (and most likely every course, and every hole), and if I hit the fairway, then exit the game before finishing the hole. When I return and finish the hole, the scorecard will show that I hit the fairway, but the stats will show 0% of fairways hit.

  Thanks for the test - it gives a real background, and the ball is Bielefeld now,
  with QA.

  Confirmed it on STA#2 - when saving&leaving through the hole, the scorecard shows all FW hits but the stats is messed up, not showing it after finishing that hole.

  STA#2 and CHB#1 also exclude Luckystar's thought - the tracks are too long. IIRC, the fact behind that idea is that drives stopping on the fringe (and in the rough of course) do not count to the stats, while green hits do. It also doesn't cause a discrepancy but a consistent drop in the number.
