My Pinehurst golfing buddies have me keeping track of many things besides my hole-by-hole score. As I have mentioned in the past, tracking the number of putts is important, but there are other things just as important to analyze your round. Off the tee I now record if I hit the fairway, rough, sand and on par threes, green. I simply put down F for fairway, R for rough etc on each hole. At the end of the round, I guarantee that your score will be better if you have more F’s than R’s recorded on the card. It will also surprise you to go back and look on a bad day, just how many fairways you missed! The more you do this, the more attention you will pay to your tee shot as you strive to get those F’s recorded.
