How Ringer calculates it

left misseseligible drives

Evidence rules

IncludedOnly current, confirmed shots assigned to this category with usable start and finish evidence.

ExcludedDrafts, voided or superseded revisions, non-strokes, unusable locations, and attempts missing a measurement required by this formula.

DenominatorThe number of eligible attempts after the stated exclusions—not every hole or every round by default.

Missing dataIf no eligible denominator remains, Ringer returns unavailable and displays “—”, never 0% or NaN.

Classification

Derived from eligible drives with a defined target line and measured finish. A miss is left when the signed lateral finish position falls left of that line for the player’s direction of play; fairway hits are not left misses.
