What
should
students
keep
track
of
besides
their
scores
to
help
them
better
analyze
their
play?
Keeping
Records

"I
ask
my
students
to
chart
their
progress
during
play
by
keeping
track
of
their
score,
putts,
fairway
hit
or
missed
and
where,
and
greens
hit
or
missed
and
where.
Also
they
can
chart
their
up
and
downs
from
anywhere
inside
20
yards.
I
share
a
system
with
them
that
I
learned
from
my
college
coach.
It's
easy
to
see
where
you
are
losing
shots
with
a
quick
glance
at
the
card
after
the
round.
That
way
the
player
knows
what
to
practice
or
what
they
can
focus
on
in
their
next
lesson.
The
system
is
like
this:
Write
down
the
score,
put
the
number
of
putts
in
the
upper
right
corner
of
the
score
box.
Next,
put
an
"X"
in
the
lower
right
corner
if
you
hit
the
fairway,
or
if
you
missed
it
put
"R"
or
"L"
to
indicate
which
rough
you
landed
in.
Then,
put
a
dot
(filled
in
o)
in
the
upper
left
corner
to
indicate
if
you
hit
the
green
or
if
you
missed
the
green
put
sh
(short),
L
(left),
R
(right)
O
(over).
If
you
hit
the
green
consistently
but
want
to
chart
how
close
you
are
to
the
hole,
you
can
simply
put
a
number
of
feet
you
estimate
you
are
away
from
the
hole
on
a
green
hit
in
regulation.
To
chart
up
and
downs
or
sand
saves
simply
put
SS
for
a
sand
save
in
the
lower
right
hand
corner
or
SA
for
a
sand
attempt.
For
chipping
or
pitching
up
and
downs
you
can
put
a
+
or
a
-
to
indicate
a
successful
up
and
down
or
an
unsuccessful
attempt.
Going
one
step
further,
I
ask
my
students
to
cross
out
PAR
on
the
scorecard
and
put
their
own
PERSONAL
PAR
based
on
their
handicap.
Then..
the
greens
in
regulation
also
changes
to
bring
everything
down
to
their
level
of
play.
This
helps
the
player
improve
their
score
and
be
able
to
set
realistic
scoring
goals.
The
Up
and
Down
section
can
also
be
"doctored
up"
to
suit
the
individual.
For
a
new
player
just
getting
the
ball
out
of
the
sand
in
one
attempt
might
be
a
SS,
where
as
a
skilled
player
only
counts
a
SS
if
they
get
out
and
one
putt
for
par.
This
system
works
well
for
any
player
to
help
the
student
and
the
teacher
evaluate
the
player's
on
course
performance
and
set
practice
goals.
Try
it...
you'll
see
it
works!!"

"Fairways,
greens,
strokes
inside
100
yards,
putts:
%
from
0-10,
11-20,
21-30,
over
30."

"Keep
track
of
the
greens
you
hit
in
regulation,
fairways
hit,
and
putts.
A
check
mark
in
the
upper
right
hand
corner
of
the
score
could
be
the
green
hit.
A
dot
in
the
upper
left
could
be
the
fairway
hit.
Putts
are
a
smaller
number
next
to
the
score.
This
way
you
know
if
you
need
to
concentrate
on
your
approach
shots,
drives,
short
game,
or
putting
in
your
practice
session
after
your
round.
It's
important
to
have
a
constructive
practice
session
after
your
round
(good
or
bad)
so
that
your
game
can
gel
together
for
the
next
round."
