  1. 1. How do you add up your scorecard?

    • I add up the scores after each nine holes.
      18
    • I add up the score every so often, just to see how things are going.
      6
    • I keep track hole-by-hole; I know exactly where I stand all the time.
      14
    • I don't keep track; I just add up the totals at the end of the round.
      12

Add up at the turn and then after the round. But I'm always aware of where I stand, I don't think it really impacts my game if I'm counting or not.

In a friendly round of golf, I just add up my score after each nine. Then I go drink beer!
In a competitive match, I (have to) mark each hole (won/lost/tied), but still add up where I am in the match after each nine.
But, you should be able to tell (I know I can) where you stand in your match against your opponent.
I don't like paying too much attention to where I am during the match (as far as score is concerned). I think it puts too much pressure on me to shoot a certain number on the closing holes when I pay too much attention to where I am hole-by-hole.

I usually only check my scorecard every nine holes. I realized I start playing worse when I check exactly where I'm at every single hole. That being said, you generally know about where you are regardless of whether you're checking or not.

I don't consciously stay aware of my scorecard, but since I'm generally +/- 6 of par, it's not like I don't know where I stand anyway.

I agree. Most lower handicaps know where they stand in relation to par. It's when you're taking 8's, 9's, etc. on holes when you lose track. I can understand that. At that point, does it matter? The goal at that point is to simply try and make a few good swings and see if you can't get a par somewhere (or maybe more).

It matters to the person making the 8s and 9s. Maybe (well, obviously) not to you but yeah it does. Even YOU have to take an 8 or a 9 on a hole once in a while, does it matter to you then? Or do you just F- off the whole round or do you try to make it up somewhere. Pretty much a high and mighty comment, Doc. Also, obvious to me but maybe not obvious the way the poll is written, is the poll is about non-competitive rounds; of course you gotta keep better track in a match or tournament than in a practice round or your Saturday out with the guys round.
My Equipment:
Northwestern 3-, 5-, 7- and 9-wood;
Goldwin AVDP Irons (5-10 plus PW);
U.S. Golf 60 degree wedge;
See-More Putter; Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 Rangefinder;Golflogix GPS.

i keep track of how much above par i am.

In my Vantage Bag:
Driver: Burner Superfast 9.5*
Woods: Steelhead Plus 3 and 5
Irons: Forged 300 4-PW
Wedges: CG12 52* and VR 56*Putter: SabertoothBall: TP Red


I only add it up after nine, but I usually know about how many over par I am.
