# What is a good strokes gained number for a 15 handicap? > Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/benchmarks-and-lenses/what-is-a-good-strokes-gained-number-for-a-15-handicap On the Tour lens a 15 handicap is modeled at about 16 strokes a round behind the tour average: 10.4 in the long game, 3.2 in the short game and 2.4 putting. A category moving toward zero across a season is improvement even before the score shows it.
