 What stats to keep?Once I begin to play golf again I will keep stats, the question is what stats ought to I keep. I've decided to use excel to maintain them. As I gaze at the PGAtour.com stats page immediately I'm preparing to maintain the following stats: fairways in reg, greens in reg, putts per around, Putts per GIR, Putts per MGIR, sand save %, up and downs %.Also maybe these, avg driving distance, ball striking, scrambling, bounce back, par breaker. What you guys think? Read more on this topic Clubs and Stats: A Problem?Is it only me or does the plethora of new clubs and their stats make golf more complicated than it truly is?I have noticed many press and threads lately contending with every one of the new advantages to one club or another (i.e. degrees, weighting, forgiveness, flex). I adore learning regarding the new stuff, however I think too a lot (especially beginning) golfers place too much emphasis on the stats. I think we tend to gain in the habit of relying on degrees, weighting, forgiveness, and flex as the difficulty with our games; when in reality it's how we are swinging. More essential, after being a "new technology guru" for a while, I discovered the more "new and enhanced" clubs I bought the more I felt similar to a beginner again. I could not get a feel for the new clubs, even after hours on the range and 2 rounds a week. It took me several seasons to obtain the feel for them. In his classic "Down the Fairway", Bobby Jones advocates high-handicappers and beginners to begin with less clubs in the bag so you discover how to think, shot shape, and receive familiar using your clubs. I have tried it, and it truly trains you to comprehend what you can do amongst club, not what the club can do using your swing. The point is, I think more attention ought to be paid to the range and especially the thinking we are forced to carry out on the course. Do not misconstrue this as a no-new-club rant, however perhaps we ought to get great with our own clubs and stick with them for a while prior to dumping another $500-$1,000 on a new club that'll fix that persistent high score.

(www.intelligolf.com) It seems to carry out everything we'd desire - putts, capability to say wether shots were left, right, short long. Up and downs, sand saves - all that stuff. I know it goes on palpilots and pocket pcs - however I doubt I will be making use of that on the course - only the score card, and with the desktop program later on and entering everything. Seems to work good, however will know better once I enter more rounds. If anybody has used it - anybody tried out the GPS function? Read more on this topic Other Golf Related Topics
