Recording a round

You'll become familiar with the score card very quick. You'll also find detailed information about its use in the help file.

Depending on how ambitious on improving your game you are, you can choose in the settings between Professional and Standard. In the Standard setting there will be less characteristics to record and of course less to analyze. We'll describe below the recording in the Professional setting.

Depending on the type of shot you enter up to 6 characteristics per shot:

ST = Stroke type
C   = Club
E   = Execution
D   = Direction
R   = Right distance
P   = Position after a stroke

Example:

On hole 1, a Par 4, you used the 3-wood ( W3 ) for the tee-shot ( D = Drive ). The drive was well executed ( G = good ). The direction of the ball flight was like you wanted ( + ). Distances on a tee-shot will not be recorded. The ball came to rest on the fairway ( Fw ).

On the 2nd shot, the approach-shot ( A ) you used the Pitching-Wedge ( PW ). It was bad executed ( B = bad ) and the ball was drifting approx. 15 yds to the right ( r3 = 12-20 yds right) and rested on the apron ( Ap ) short ( S ) of the green.

The 3rd shot, a Chip ( C ) with the 9-iron ( 9 ) from a distance of little bit less than 10 yds ( a = from < 10 yds ), was also just mediocre ( M ). The ball came to rest right and short ( rS ), about 1.5 yds ( B = from < 2 yds ) to the hole.

But the following putt ( PU ) (with the putter ( PT )) from that distance ( B ) disappeared straight ( G, ++ ) in the hole ( I = in ) to save a par.
 

In that way you record all strokes of a round. The description of the abbreviations on the back side of the score card you'll probably only need for a couple of rounds.

Our recommendation:

Make your recordings during a round and without judgment. Usually you'll have plenty of time - sometimes too much time! So you can focus more on your game and may lead to an enormous improvement of your mental game, simply because you don't have that much time for negative thoughts anymore.
