Keep Stats

[Wisco-Kid]

I was wondering if anyone has heard of or seen something like this:

An electronic score keeper (yes I know these exist) but with additional function to keep track of putts, GIR, Fairways. Then it would be really cool
if when you were done you could just hook it up to your computer via USB and download all of the stats into some software.

Of course you can do it manually but I keep wanting to keep track of my stats and find that I am too lazy to actually mark down my score and stats on the same card and then come home and enter it into some software.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

I've recently been playing around with a bit of software called ScorePro, which you install on a Windows Mobile device like a smartphone or PDA and it tracks all those stats. I don't think you can download them onto a computer, but you can view them on the PDA screen.

Well I dont have a windows mobile device yet, but it seems as though that might be the way to go. ScorePro definitely is the kind of thing I am looking for. Would be cool though if you could buy a seperate little unit to do it instead of a phone though.

Have you seen the ads for Scorecard here? You can print scorecards or, if you use the method I use, enter your stats (yes, it's "manually") in about 30 seconds when you get back. A lot of forum members have bought it and like it.

We're working on an iPhone/iPod Touch app that will eliminate the "manual" portion, but currently Apple's API for the iPhone is lacking some things we may need, so we're not 100% sure there. Anyway, until then you just use a scorecard. It takes up all of two boxes on my card... and one of them's my score. You write five things down and you get 35+ stats.

Does anyone know where I can find something that can keep track of golf stats. I like keepmygolfscore.com, but they dont have an "Up and Down" stat nor do they let you input 9-hole scores without count a full round (which seems really stupid).

Thanks in advance!

A bonus would be something that has courses already set up for you to choose from instead of always having to enter each holes information.

I use www.oobgolf.com . I'm not sure if it has all the stats you want, but it seems pretty comprehensive to me.

[blu320]

How does it deal with playing 9-holes?

[klaymon]

You just tell it whether you played 9 or 18 and enter your scores.

[blu320]

If only oobgolf had up and downs, that would be perfect...seems strange that they dont have it, but I do like their set up.

Purchase Iacas' own program Scorecard. You can also win one if you read the details on another thread (don't have the link)

You'll see a banner advertisement for it around the forum somewhere, click it

I have been using Lintz's golf stats which is free (See below link) for the last 8 months or so. It is very simple and does a good job.

I have also tried the demo of Scorecard that a lot of people use on this forum and I liked it better as it had a few extra options and has a nice layout but I would have to start entering scores from scratch again which makes it meaningless for the first few months.

I sometimes mark an extra card (as we have to hand our comp cards in) but often just enter the scores from memory as soon as I get home. Not so easy on a foreign course but not a problem with my regular course as I can picture the holes easily

I started keeping my stats about a month ago when I wanted to get serious about golf. It helps me know what I need to work on and what I'm doing pretty well at.

I just use a little notebook and write down my stats and keep the scorecard from that round.

I recommend in situations like yours that you use Scorecard concurrently with your existing stat tracker for the time being, and then switch to Scorecard exclusively when you've got enough stats in it to make it worthwhile (after a few months, as you say).

i use an online service, GameTracker:

http://www.bcgolfguide.com/free_golf_tracker.cfm

no muss,no fuss, $15 /yr

one feature that many don't offer is that you can create groups, and put all your buddies in it. that way, you can see everybody's handicaps in your group, and let the betting begin!

I use Intelligolf but haven't yet taken my PDA out on the course; that may change because it also keeps track of games.

[CosmosMpower]

The only thing I keep track of is number of putts and GIR. Sometimes I write other stuff like OB, drops etc. I always scan my scorecard after every round and put it in a folder and I have a running spreadsheet of rounds I've played this summer.

[mgoofy24]

I should do it more often... It doesn't take much extra effort, I just get lazy sometimes...

[clemsontiger]

I keep the usual of putts, GIR, and Fairways hit.
