Golf is a game of proximity

Leave it closer — that's the whole game.

Why

The closer you are to the hole, the better you score. It sounds obvious, but the data takes it to the extreme: the farther you are, the more players separate from each other. On a 30-foot putt you nearly match a pro; from 200 yards you're not even close. Look at proximity: from 75-125 yards a scratch leaves it 39 feet from the hole and a 15-handicap 60.
