# The 250 yard shot

From 250 yards in the fairway the tour average needs 3.475 strokes to hole out, 3.690 from the rough and 3.885 from the sand. An approach from the fairway that finishes 15 feet from the hole is worth +0.69 against the tour average, one that finishes 40 feet away +0.42; anything inside 90 feet beats the average from there.
