For amateurs, the best way to reduce the biggest amount of strokes is outside 100 yards
70% of amateur shots are taken from 125 yards and in. Seems hard to believe amateurs can have the most improvement on such a small portion of the game.

Once you remove putts inside of 3 feet, it's only 40% of shots are inside of 125 yards. And then you have those 20-30 foot putts that even tour players don't make all that often, it becomes less and less.
You start to look at how much can you actually improve on a 20 foot putts vs hitting the green from 150 or not hitting that drive in the trees, it adds up way more on being able to improve from outside of 125 if you want to improve your scores. Highest correlation to score is GIR, and that's usually not from 125 and in.

Depends on the handicap of the player. The 18+ handicap guys just have a really hard time getting to the green. They 10-12 handicap guys get it to the green okay but don't chip and putt it well enough to get to 6-7 handicap stuff. From 6 down to scratch is all about being more consistent is every phase and having a killer short game.

I would say that is correct for midrange handicaps. If you are high handicapper you could work on anything but getting off the tee reliably with decent distance is a first step. For midrange HC's hitting greens in regulation is the biggest improvement.
