My best round for the year was a +1, 74 (twice actually, once in a comp) at Gailes and my worst round was a +20, 92 on a windy afternoon up at Pacific Harbour. That was one of only two times that I failed to shoot less than 90 so I think that one of my strengths is my consistency - I very rarely have blow outs. This consistency may also work the other way though and stop me "going low" on a regualr basis.Here are my stats from 2008 which were compiled over the 45 rounds that I played throughout the year with basically a 50-50 split between comp and social rounds. Although they make me look anal, I’m actually far from it and don’t get absorbed by the stats while I’m playing. In fact if I’m playing a course that I am quite familiar with then I just recall each shot after the round to compile the numbers and if I don’t know the course then I just make simple ticks and crosses on the scorecard at the completion of the hole. I just think that the stats really highlight actual strangths and weaknesses which may be vastly different to your own perceptions of your strengths and problem areas.
Score: 82.6
Fairways: 8.2 per round (57.8%)
GIR: 7.1 per round (39.0%)
Up & Down: 40.3%
Sand Save: 16.9%
Putts: 32.3 (1 putt: 26.8% / 2 putt: 65.5% / 3 putt: 7.5%)
Eagles: 0.1 per round (i.e not many!!!)
Birdies: 1.1 per round
Pars: 7.9 per round
Bogey: 6.9 per round
Others: 2.1 per round (i.e too many !!!)
Penalties: 1.0 per round
Par 3 Avg: 3.47
Par 4 Avg: 4.67
Par 5 Avg: 5.43
Based on those numbers I think I drive the ball very well and also length is not my problem (so to speak) with my drives averaging around 250m I am able to often take 3 wood / 3 iron to ensure I find the fairway. From there though I probably don’t hit my irons well enough to take advantage of my driving so the GIR numbers could be improved. My putting numbers aren’t great either (but better than they were) and my up and downs and sandies (especially) need to be sharper.Any other thoughts???

Hey SoulmanZ I keep stats the same way as the PGA Tour so if the ball is on the fringe then it is a missed green but if I then putt from there it is not counted as a putt. So in this example if I "2 putt" then it is counted as a 1 putt and an up and down. The only thing that I do different is that if I took a penalty during the playing of a hole and my approach shot misses the green but I get up and down with two shots from there then I count that as an up and down. This is probably incorrect as it is an up and down for bogey/double as apposed to salvaging par but still tells me how well my short game is going. Note I only do this if I have taken a penalty during the hole so the stats should only be skewed slightly.how are you scoring up and downs?
you up and down 40% of the time but only hit 25% one putts?
doesnt really look like you have strengths or weaknesses. all could be better, but nothing is bad enough to focus on to exclusion

Also note that up and downs are only chipping and pitching and don't include my bunker play as they are recored separately. My bunker play is pretty poor.how are you scoring up and downs?

Even better, try "I WILL PLAY OFF 5!" :)Every time you post, write at the end “I want to play off 5”. Not as a signature but physically type it in.
Good luck.
