I may be a bit biased but....

Give Foursum a try. Feel free to DM me with any questions and feedback that you have. We are always looking for user experience and ways to improve. I'm happy to help.

To me the easiest thing to do is just keep a personal scorecard each round. Even if your buddy is keeping everyone's score, get your own card and use the lines for other players for stats. My scorecard typically is laid out like the following:

Score

FW

GIR

Putts

Penalty Strokes

After each hole I record my score, put a check or "X" in the FW and GIR categories (instead of an X you could specify left or right), and then record my number of putts and penalty strokes. When the round is over I take the scorecard home and record the results in an ongoing Excel spreadsheet on my computer. I have found this to be the best way for me personally.

I tried some golf apps on my phone, but I got tired of having to pull my phone out after every hole. I found that I got distracted because I would also receive texts or phone calls during the round so I would start replying to those and lose focus. This way, I can leave my phone in the bag and still have all of my stats at the end of the round.

No need to record your score after every hole. Take five minutes after the round and input them to your app. Is PGA Tour Caddie available over there? I use it here (Ireland) and find it fantastic. As well as the standard abilility to track stats, it has every course in the country mapped into it and you can do a 2D flyover on each hole. Very handy for playing a course you're not familiar with. Again, my phone stays in my bag during a round, I'll preview the course via the app before the round.

Do you remember all of your stats throughout the course of the round and then input them all at the end? I can remember my scores for each hole, but I'm not sure I could remember all of my other stats after a 4 hour round.

I kind of do that already. I try and keep all of my score cards for a little while. but it would just be nice to have something too see when i go to a certain course how i play or what i usually do here. thanks for the info to. Foursum. I downloaded it. It looks great! cant wait to try it out when the snow melts here in the KY. thanks

Excel on my computer.

I can use my scorecard to keep track of stats. Takes about 30 seconds.

For me, I like to keep track if my shot is the shot I wanted to play. You can ask my dad the number of times I got pissed because I hit a terrible looking shot that worked out. Like a heel pull cut on a driver. Ends up in the fairway, FEELS and LOOKS horrible.

So what I do is,

Starting Line

Curve

Did the ball start on my starting line, did it curve the way I wanted it to. This tells me a few things, one it tells me I can play shots I want to. It also tells me that my path is good. Only way to hit a push draw is to come from the inside.

If I can do both of those things, they will translate to more FIR and GIR. Just because the shot will be in my shot cone and that will be played to allow me to put the ball were I want. Now if the ball over-curves, lets say a bit to much hook. That curve would not count. The ball has to land in my shot cone with the way I want it to land.

Just a bit more qualitative instead of quantitative.

I like Excel also, but mainly use my spreadsheets for tracking our Mens Game statistics.

With over a hundred members, it allows us to analyze differences of players by sorting low through high handicappers.

It can create stats for all individuals which the guys really like as well.

Through the season, I maintain the Handicaps of rounds only played within our group.

Track and update money leaders for our end of the year final event.

We have used mobile scorekeeper to accelerate score entries.

Once all scores are posted for the round, calculations of payouts are automatic and precise.

We spoke with a software programmer to build/designed a program for our specific needs, but the costs were very high.

So over a long period of time, I have developed three different workbooks to interact together.

The results now enable us to track our various needs instantly.

Updating handicaps twice per month though the season is now preformed in a matter of only a few minutes.

There are workbook templates available which are designed for individual stats which track every need one can think of.

Gir's, Putts, Faiways, etc, you name it, it can be created in Excel.

Ya, I am at the stage now where I can remember it without any hassle. At the start I took notes on the scorecard re FIR (L or R), GIR, Putts. But at this stage I can replay the round in my head pretty easily. Scorecard acts as a verifaction method, you would be surprised how easily you can remember all the shots. That said, I input the stats as soon as I'm in the car after the round. So I don't give myself the chance to forget.

I can remember each shot I played from that day. I never found it that difficult. I remember visuals better, so golf really sticks my mind.

Impressive. I feel that for the most part I could remember everything, but I think I may struggle to remember a couple shots along the way. Also, a few local courses are just 9 holes so I think I would have a difficult time remembering those without getting crossed up on which shots were the front 9 and which were the back 9.

It's even more impressive when you consider how many shots I take :) 90% of my golf is tournament/competition golf, this certainly helps you remember things better I feel. And Approx 75% of my golf is played on my home course, so again, it's a bit easier as I'm so familiar with the course. I may get stuck on a few shots on the rare occasion , but I'll look at the card and see a 6 on the Par 5 12th... And it will come back to me. Try to recap your next round shortly afterwards, I'm sure you would be able to replay it very accurately. Two 9's would be tricky.

I'd say you're probably right, because I can always go home and discuss a round in detail in terms of which shots I hit on each hole. I've never tried to remember every single one, but I would probably be closer to being able to do it than I'm giving myself credit for.

If you pay you also get stats regarding FIR and miss %s by tee club and I believe you also get to record your approach shot club.  I've never paid cause the monthly fee isn't super cheap cause you're mostly paying for the GPS service, not the increased level of stats keeping/reporting.

This is a really interesting idea!  Do you keep track by club, or just overall percentage over all shots?  I'd kinda like to have the basic stats too, just cause there are well known benchmarks you should be somewhere near for a given index.  Kind of too much of a pain in the butt to keep track of all of that though?

Nope, just by shot type. It nice to know the confidence level of certain shots. The swing is the same for me on every shot depending on what I want to do, so it doesn't matter by club.

Okay, then one more question.  What is the set of shot types you consider?  I mean how detailed is it.  For example, say you played the following two shots in your round.  One you attempted a high soft draw into a hard green.  You hit a mid trajectory shot starting where you wanted it but going dead straight.  The second you hit a shot off the tee left of the fairway and to get around a tree you attempted a low hard draw (not some circus shot controlled duck hook, just a harder draw than normal with low trajectory).  You hit that a shot with a low trajectory starting off on the right line but drawing a bit harder than you wanted and you ended up just on the green on the far left.

How do you record those shots?  Are they both classified simply as draws?  Do you classify by trajectory as well?  Is the first one a check-check for starting line and inside the shot cone by the second one is check-X for starting line and in the shot cone?

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
