Over all, I'm at 97.4026%, which means about 12 days until I hit 97.5%, which magically rounds up to 98%.

Unless I fumble.

I'm in a similar spot, numbers wise, sometime in my recent streak of 31 my overall percentage climbed back over 97.5% as well.

Tough one today. My standard opening word got me 3 green letters, and it still took me five tries.

Here's a different way to frame it: Over the last 18 holes, I've shot a 68.

That's actually not a bad way to look at it.

Think of four as the equivalent of 'Par'. Some days might be a little harder (par five) with others a bit easier (par three) but, as in a standard golf
course, it generally averages out to four (72 for every 18 holes/games played). You can then treat your threes as Birdies, twos as Eagles, fives and
sixes as Bogies and Double Bogies with aces as the rare 'Double Eagle'. I guess then a miss should be counted as a triple bogie or, as the golfers
tend to refer to anything north of a double, "Other".

You can then keep a running tab on not just your streaks but also how far over or under 'Par' you are.
