How do you guys record your scores (outside of a handicap system)? I use my club handicap system but I also put all of my stats into an excel file. You guys do anything to the sort?

I haven't taken my PDA out on the course yet but I might start for tracking games with the gang.

I use my own site and other GR members do, too. It's free.

Something that I just added is trophies. I have a leaderboard each month for scores, birdies, greens, etc. If you get in the top 3 for a month you get a trophy. In three years, I haven't won a putting trophy, but should this month with 27 putts (10 greens, 1 under).

I do not record any scores, or file away my scores. I remember many of them for at least A YEAR.

\depends how organised I feel. I've got one or two soft bound stats books. I've tried collating rounds on PC or online, but due to past PC problems, I've not really been able to use that last option.

At my least organised I always make a point of detailing my round on the score card itself. Left margin used for the club used for tee shot.

Then in the box that marks the number of the hole, it'll be a dot in the top left for hitting the fairway, or an L or R if missed left or right.

In the bottom right of this box is a dot if I've attained the green in regulation

All other clubs used after the tee shot will be in the markers score box next in on the left. Any shot out of sand will be circled. Chip n run, or knockdown shots, will be a horizontal arrow under the club, pitch shots will be a semi-circle under club specified. of course pt will be for putts taken from outside the green & therefore not counted in putting stats. But this also means its an extra shot counted to obtain the green.

In the Score section, a large number for the actual total for the hole, followed by the number of official holes in the bottom right of box, If I'm feeling really efficient & ther is space, I'll detail the Yardage ' Footage' Inches, or tap, for the putts taken.

Somewhere, will be weather conditions, strength of the wind.

If I've time, this will get transfered onto the stats books,

If noth,then I never throw anything away.

I save the scorecard after the first time I play a course*, and then replace it when I get a new personal best. The rest of them find the trash, after comparing them to the personal best scorecard. That's about it. Not very sophisticated, yet I always seem to know (or at least think that I know) what to work on. I am sure this is not the best way, but I play golf for fun.... I do keep meticulous notes on my swing though!

* First time I play a course, I do make an attempt to figure out what clubs to hit, and make notes of that on the scorecard.
