I've been looking for a decent online stats tracker. Here is what I would like:

Handicap calculation
Shot by shot stats
Course hole stats
Free

Basically, I would like to be able to see that 70% of the time I push my 5 iron when hitting from a bare lie or on a certain par 3 I'm over the green 65% of the time.

If anyone knows of a site that will do this for free, let me know. Otherwise I'll build it myself.

Although that sounds like a great idea, I think what you're looking for could be a lot easier than a website. Get a journal and put it in your bag, keep track of your shots. I haven't ever heard of a website that could keep track of individual shots, that would require individual input of each shot too, which would basically be keeping a journal of your round...

Journaling is absolutely a part of it. You have to collect stats to benefit from stats. What a journal won't do is allow you to pull up a golf hole at your course and see how many topped drives you've had, or see if you hit your 6 iron and your 5 iron the same distances most of the time.

I made a doc to record shot by shot stats, http://stuntcode.com/golf/golfstats.pdf

It's a little busy, but basically each hole has a column under it. For each shot on a hole, you would record club,distance,lie and quality (1-10). You would also record if this shot hit the fairway (F) Green (G) or Bunker (S). Their is also a 9-box grid that will let you show the shot shape. So a fade would be the top left box. A slice would be the center left box. A top would be the center top box. A flush hit would be the center box. etc. I guess I would record a push or pull by putting a P in the grid on the left or right.

Clearly this is not something I would do while playing a round with someone else, this is more intended for use while playing alone during the week. I've always tracked fairways, greens, up and downs and putts. I'm hoping this will help me get more detailed info about what parts of my game need the most work.

ahh I see what you mean. Nice work on the layout, kinda confusing but I see what you're getting at. Keeping statistics is a really good way to keep track of your game. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to adjust your practice routine to focus more on the weaker aspects of your game. Sorry I couldn't contribute any websites to help, but good luck with it.

It's not as detialed as you are wanting, but it's not bad for free. GIR, Fairways, Putts, and figures your handicap. Havn't found a good online solution for shot by shot unless you build it yourself.

That works. I tried shooting a couple of rounds with my sheets, but it was way too much analysis. The lab coat kept messing up my back swing. I've decided to use greenskeeper.org and I'm also keeping track of mis-hit shots and great shots. Then I can keep the clubs I'm mis-hitting and the clubs I'm hitting great in a spreadsheet and that will probably show me a trend after a while.

Tried out Greenskeeper tonight inputting my last few rounds, and it's a really fantastic site.

Thanks Dent!

Well I calculated it out using my last 12 or so rounds and my handicap is right where I estimated, at 11.5.

(Although to be fair that does include the worst round of recent memory, +11 for 9 holes)

This is old thread but thought it was a good place to post this.

I've also been looking for a good stats website for free and found the golf application on Facebook to be the perfect thing for me. It links into your profile and gives a pretty good amount of stats. Plus you can type in your course and the scorecard will likely already be entered. If it isn't the course is remembered and you can add favorite courses. Perfect for a guy like me that doesn't have a home course! This is just what the doctor ordered for getting a close approximation of a handicap plus telling me where I need to improve by showing tons of stats.

I thought I was about a 10 handicap but turns out I'm more like an 8.

    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity. 
    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
