how do you keep score?

[Mrd19abhs]

First box= Score for hole
Second box= <-(if fairway missed left) , Drive distance (if fairway hit), -> (if fairway missed right)
Third box= Gir(s if in sand)
Forth box= putts
Fifth box if applicable pen strokes

I have Golf Logix on my Blackberry. It tracks score, fairways hit, GIR, putts, chips, and penalty strokes. It can also track shot distance per club, then sort out all the statistics.

The only problem is, I carry it all day for work, and hate carrying it on the course!

I just write my actual score in the box - sky caddie takes care of the rest (putts, fairways, girs)

I use Golfshot on my iPhone, keeps track of stats, emails me and my playing partners the scorecard, and keeps the database online. I'd like to use skycaddie but it only tracks score and putts on my SG2.5 whereas golfshot tracks those plus what club I used on the tee and where my tee shot ended up.

I use a score sheet from GStat Pro for myself. I keep track of fairways, greens, putts and make notes on most shots. I breakdown drives to 5 directions and how the ball got there. (left rough, left fairway, center fairway, right fairway, & right rough) (Hook, draw, straight, push, fade, & slice). I do the same for the approach shot, dividing the green into either 4 or 6 quadrants, and recording how far from the pin the approach shot was. I then can go over the data and find trends and use history to help determine practice. I have also started using the data to help determine how I play certain holes, and include some of the notes in my yardage books for certain courses. It seems that I probably go overboard on keeping data, but I have found it has helped me a lot. When in tournaments or league play, I also keep the regular score card. But if its just a practice round by myself or people I don't know, I only keep my stats. I'm usually pretty aware of how many under/over I'm at though.

I track fairway hit/miss, number or putts, and club used from tee. The online scorecard website I use calculates GIR, putting average, fairway % with different clubs, and all sort of other reports.

I usually print the scorecard from the Scorecard program and use that so I can make it so I can fit 4 full scorecards on a normal piece or paper or card stock (2 on front, 2 on back) and keep a bunch in the trunk during the season. I have created a generic one also that does not have any info on it in case I go to a course without really planning.

Makes it so I don't have the chance to forget keeping track of things, and makes it really easy to put it back into the program when I get home from the round.

I usually just write the score I get on the hole in the box, and then either above or below, I write how far below, or more often, above par I am.
