Garmin devices use strokes gained to measure performance across different parts of the game, such as drives, approach shots, short game, putts and even bunker shots. You can also track how you have improved in each category over time. Strokes gained lets you compare each shot with the average shots taken by a PGA player from the same distance and lie. Since most people don't compete at the same level as PGA players, we compare your strokes gained values with golfers who have a handicap similar to yours.
