Using Hogan Points

[LDAV]

does anyone use hogan points when they play.

like where you get one point for hitting a fairway and one point for getting a GIR and stuff.

Iguess its really suppose to help just keep you focused and not always thinknig about your score..

I don't do that but I do keep a record of how many girs and putts I have. It really tells you where your game is.

Never heard it called "Hogan Points", but I am in the middle of reading "Every Shot Must Have a Purpose" and they recommend a point system to keep yourself focused on each shot: 1 pt. for each fairway hit 1 pt. for each GIR 1 pt. for par 2 pts. for birdie 1 pt. for each up-and-down (p.41)

To get the ball into the hole in two strokes when starting from off the green. For example, if your second shot on a par-4 is just short of the green. If you make par, you've made an up-and-down. "Up" = first stroke was up onto the green; "Down" = the second stroke was down into the cup. A "sand save" is an up-and-down from a greenside bunker.

I keep track of:

• +/-
• fairways
• greens
• putts

And then I even take some general notes about mistakes I made or areas of the greens or fairways to aim for or avoid in the future (course specific).

By the time I'm done w/ a round, my card looks like Einstein's chalkboard.
