I normally keep a true and accurate score even though I don't belong to a club, don't have an established handicap, and don't play in any tournaments. Still, if I'm playing my usual casual round...and really playing terribly, I'll occasionally toss the scorecard in the trash. It helps me concentrate on just hitting good shots instead of focusing on making a particular score...and my game usually improves somewhat....

Certainly. Only keep a record of pars in my notebook - nothing else, consequently my index could be anywhere between 16 and 36. Aim is to par every hole on the course at some stage.

For me, the 18 hole score is the main reason I play golf. I'm always trying to achieve the lowest score possible. My final total tells me how well I played. Anything else is just practice but done on a golf course.

I try to not keep score once and while when I play because it reminds how much fun the game is. This is especially important for me because since I am practicing around 20-40 hours a week, remembering that this game is not about results and more about the experience is important to not burn out.
