It’s unfortunate but here in southern Manitoba our golf season is nearing the end.

I’m thinking perhaps another ten games or so before the courses close.

There is however one thing I’m looking forward to.

As mentioned in a previous post it was my intention to record some basic stats relative to my game using the Golf Canada Game Tracker.

This past season I entered every game I played using the hole by hole input screen and enhanced the data input slightly by using the ‘stats’ feature.  I did not record all the statistical categories available, just some of the basics like putts and fairways hit.

Entering such basic information provides you with a wealth of data as calculated by the statistical program.  It provides your average putts per round, putts per hole, average putts on a given hole, average score on a given hole, fairways in regulation, greens in regulation, scrambling and bounce backs.

Once the season is officially over I intend to review the data and write one or more posts that provide a breakdown of how the year went, and hopefully how the data generated can be used to identify potential areas for improvement.
