In our app, a 5 handicap makes 1.5 doubles a round. A 15 makes 4.9. So which holes turn into doubles?
A penalty: 72% went double or worse
Two or more short game shots: 56%
A three putt: 48%
Here's the part that changes how you play. When our golfers got on or near the green with 2 shots left for par, only 4% went double or worse. When they didn't, it was 37%.
So after a bad shot, your next one has one job: take the easiest path to the green. Bad shots happen. Most doubles don't have to.
Data: Play Ready Golf app, 453 rounds from 127 golfers.
