What if you had every scorecard from every round you've ever golfed?

[GITrDONE]

I have that opportunity!

Been interested in golf my whole life. I bought a 5 iron with my own money as a kid and some cheap balls and would hit them in the park across the way from my grandmom's

Have been to various ranges at various times, mostly using a loaner driver from the range

But lately I've gotten into golf for real and plan on actually playing once I get consistent

So I have the opportunity to save every scorecard from every course the rest of my life and I think that'd be pretty cool to have records of my (hopeful) progression as well as where and when I've played

Discuss!

I have every score card since early May in a box. About 60-70 of them so far. I can notice the progression - low 50's for 9 holes, the occasional blowup 60+, then high 40s, then mid 40's, and recently, high 30's/low 40's. At the end of the year I'm going to try and get a laundry list of everything I did - strokes taken, holes played, how far I was over par, balls lost, and so on...

Very cool, exactly what I was thinking! You might be a bit of nerd like me cause I too thought it'd be sweet to data-entry everything into the computer and run all sorts of statistics n sh*t

Oh, no, I'd do it the hard way. I'd sort out which were 9 hole rounds, which were 18 holes, which ones I got rained out on, and add it all up. I figure, since I hate winter anyway because 1) no golf and 2) I have to dig my car out every time it snows, I won't be outside much and I'll have a long time to add all that stuff up.

If I keep going at my current rate, I'm predicting this by the end of the year: Rounds played: 150 Holes played: 2,300 Strokes taken: 12,000 Balls lost: 400 Fairways hit: 30% Greens hit: 40% Putts per hole: 2.1 Average score - 92 End of year handicap: 9.9 or less.

I have just about all of my scorecards from last year and this year... digitally in my stat tracker.

I couldn't possibly keep all the scorecards. I play in too many events which require you to turn your cards in.

I might need to get one of those - does your stat tracker work with PC's?

Soon. But since you're in KY, look for it at the start of next golf season.

WHen I was a kid I collected all my cards. Did for about 10 years. Then I figured, "what do I need these things for?" Now I'll just keep special cards when I shoot awesome rounds.

[rmgr]

I've kept all my scorecards from the time I started playing a couple of months ago.

[getinthehole]

If I had done that, it would be scary to see how awful I was when I started golf.

[Undr Par]

I would suggest that when you play Golf at different courses grab a extra scorecard and after you have a few you can get a picture frame and tape them in the frame (for they make a great picture in a sports theme clubroom atmosphere)....... just a suggestion though

[jaqattack02]

I've been putting my scores into digitaldivot.com so I don't have to keep track of all of the score cards.

[ChiChiIsMe]

I have every round from this season. I would be cool to have every card for the last 30 years tho........I just started this year keeping my rounds in a Excell spread-sheet to track Fairways, GIR, putts, peanltys, score etc.......

[Guest]

Rarely do I keep my scorecards. And most of them I never want to see again!

[JustMe]

As a mom...and usually at my my sons tourneys...I'll keep all tourney cards, he turns his in. Other then that, I have the cards where he's eagled a few holes. If I kept them all I'd have to rent a storage facility.

[Hogan Incarnate]

I keep the scores in which I won (or tournaments) but other than that, I throw them away and post my scores in the computer. Its easy and it saves time.

[WhiteSoxFan]

I don't know - it gets ridiculous after a while. I used to keep them all, and my wife and I tend to accumulate tons of crap as it is - so I just tossed them. Every once and I while I wish I could go back and look at some old ones, but I don't miss them that much. I have all rounds from the past few years kept electronically. (GameTrack)

[Alex B]

I have them all... I start playing when I was 8, and my first round was an 171. It's cool to see how I would get better by about 8 shots a round for the first half-dozen rounds... if only I could knock off 8 shots now!
