I am the handicap sec for a society and can be taking home up to 20 scorecards every weekend. The software does it for me.

Do you guys keep them for record? Toss them? what do you do with them when you are done? I keep them around Until i am good enough to buy scorekeeping software and enter them all in.

If you're playing, you're good enough to use the s/w. Something with statistics will help you focus on deficiencies.

right but I mean usually the clubhouse provides a scorecard and there isnt anywhere to write all that down. So do you suggest I either make a scorecard of my own that has all that info on it and just fill it in as I go, or get some software on my PDA?

Golf digest has a free score keeping thing on their website that figures your handicap for you and there are score cards to print off that you can track GIR, putts, chips, and a few other things.

I keep a scorecard in my back pocket just for my own score and stats. I use the one on the cart to keep everyone else's score.

Line 1: Score
Line 2: Putts and length of first putt
Line 3: Fairway hit, fairway missed left or right, GIR
Line 4: Penalties, lost balls and distance to green after drive
Any lines or space below that I use to mark down anything else important that happens as I go or to add up scores.

Also, if the scorecard has a layout of each hole on it, I mark approximately where my drive landed on each hole so I can go back and get a better idea of distance via Google Earth after the round.

If I ever get my stupid scanner online, I will start scanning and posting them.

The importance of stats for me is to help me determine where exactly I am losing strokes. For instance, my fairways hit, driving distance and GIR are all trending up, but my scores haven't reflected that, which means I need to work on my short game and putting.

After a round it is hard to recall each and every single shot, so keeping stats gives you concrete evidence as to how you played. Sure, you scorecard will look like the Matrix...but after a while, you don't see the code anymore...

I have kept every scorecard going all the way back to 1982. Most of those early years I would stick them in my bag and let them accumulate. Then at the end of the season, they ended up in a box in the basement. It's interesting to look back through them and see freinds and partners that you once played with. Brings back alot of memories. Also, seeing how a particular course's score card evolved over time. One place I played at, always had a photo of a particular hole on the front. The early cards had people in bold plaid pants next to trees 10 feet tall. Now those same trees are huge.

This is how I format my Scorecard:

There are 3 boxes for Names on my scorecard, On the first I put my name, below that I put a G for GIR, and below that i put an F for Fairways.

If I miss the fairway i Put which way i missed it -> or <- or if i hit the fairway ^

If I hit a GIR i put a Check or an X. On the bar with my name, I write my casual score, and then a little number besides my score on how many putts I've had.

so how do you score fairway? I mean if you hit it once and it goes to the left, and then you hit again and you hit center how do you score both? or does that mean only on your initial Tee off?

Fairways are only tracked from the Tee box, and its where your ball is at the time it is stopped. If it hits the fairway, and then goes into the rough, it is not counted as a fairway.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
