The score card is indifferent to your game. But if you do not keep track of your rounds properly, you do not know where your weak spots are and what you have to work on.
The message is: How do you know what to do if you do not know what you did? So I want you to keep track of your rounds and be diligent about it.
When I began to keep track of my numbers I realized that I had to work on my long game a lot more than my short game. Here are the numbers you should keep track of hole by hole next to your actual score:
- Your Club off the tee (Use Abbreviations e.g. Dr, 6i etc.)
- If you hit the Fairway (Yes or No)
- Sand Shots and Penalty strokes
- Putts you took
There are some great internet tools and apps for your cellphone to help you.
My favourite is www.oobgolf.com. Otherwise simply use pen and paper. It does the job just as well.
So plan ahead for your next rounds and be prepared, so you do not have to fiddle around when you go play.
You could even create and print out a little spreadsheet with your computer to take with you on each round.
That way you can always compare your last with your current round. If you want to take some value out of your numbers, you have to do this for an extended period of time.
Once you have 30 to 50 scores in the system you can see your tendencies better and make proper decisions.
- Think of ways on how to keep track of your rounds.
- Be prepared for your next round to take notes and statistics.
- Check different online services or apps for your cellphone.
