The Truth about Greens in Regulation - The Left Rough

Those figures are a bit misleading. If you notice, the statistics show that Scratch & + Handicaps hit the Green more often than Touring Professionals. Pin locations on the Pro Tour are much more difficult than the average golfer faces.

That said, I think you're right. Most of the players I see in TV hit 2-3 Greens/round in regulations. A GPS approximation of distance, should be more than accurate enough.
