How many stats do you keep of your round?

[DVS]

Other than the obvious score for each hole, do you guys keep track of any other stats for your round? Some say its a good way to see where you are throwing away shots and where you need improving (and where you are actually doing fine).

I know some people get REALLY carried away, as they keep track of what club they used on what hole, how far it went etc.! A bit overkill for me though.

Recently I started keeping track of Fairways hit, GIR and Putts. (May start monitoring penalty strokes too). Its usually a simple: "Y, Y, 2" on the scorecard under where I write my score.

Is this too much? Too little?

I've been doing the same as you lately and I record it on golflinks.com. It gives you you're average birdies, pars and bogeys per round as well as putts among other things; pretty neat.

Just putts, which obviously gives you your GIR as well. Should start tracking fairways hit as well.

I record score, FW, GIR , putts , and first putt length. It gives me a key to seeing if it was a legitamate two putt from 30' or i missed a 5 footer. I can also look at the hole distance and see how my ballstriking was.

I keep track of fairways hit, greens hit, putts, and lost balls. I haven't had to take an unplayable in a long time (I play it usually no matter how crappy the lie is).

The last 3 rds I have been keeping track of putts, length of drives, which club on certain shots & how far I hit them, etc. Sure can't hurt to keep track of a few things.

I always keep track of fairways, GIR, and putts. Every once in a while I'll keep track of what club I hit into the green just so I can look back and determine what clubs are costing me strokes. I rarely do this though.
