I tried to do the whole keeping stats thing.... i don't think it's worth the effort unless there is a very smart program out there to handle some of the variables (i'm still yet to see one).
I've also found these stats quite useless since most situations in golf are different. Lets say the pin is tucked back right on a green, you have 175 yds in, hit that shot just past pin high 15 feet right of the hole. So you're now only 15 feet away but just on the fringe, pretty much executed that shot exactly how you wanted to yet that counts as 1 missed green. Then on top of that since you're only 15 feet away from the hole, chip or put it a couple feet away then you have a gimme up and down.
Go the other way.... 175 in, pin tucked in that same back right spot but you hit a chunk hook that two hops it's way to the front left portion of the green. So even though you're looking at a 60 foot put yet you have hit the green for your stats.
I have a pretty good memory but i'm not gonna remember the background behind that missed green i had on 17 on Sept 21 in '07.
I'm just saying sometimes stats can be misleading.... Pound a driver at your target, takes a meh bounce and you wind up in the first cut.... that shouldnt count as a missed drive/missed fairway imo but the stats programs that i've used dont compute that.
Weathered.... good playing this early in the yr, keep it up. I'm 29, been around a scratch for yrs now and play a lot of tournament golf and i'm yet to have a bogey free round. Even my 66 had a double to brag about. I'm very envious of that blemish free round and i think about mine whenever i'm stainding anywhere on the back 9 being bogey free.
Keith Line.... 17-18 up and downs, 19 puts. Thats either a once in a lifetime thing.... or (more likely) it's just a bunch of
