![]() And for the true beginners reading this, "taking strokes" or "taking a stroke" means that your course handicap allows you to reduce your score by one or possibly more strokes on certain holes.Īlways start by marking the holes on which you get to take a stroke. Remember, when we talk about taking strokes on the golf course or scorecard, we're always talking about course handicap, not handicap index. That's the scoring zone, and many golfers discover they have a lot of room for improvement by focusing on strokes inside 100 yards. Even if you get a 9 on the hole, if your last two strokes represented getting up-and-down from a bunker, check off a sand save.Īdd up your strokes played once you've gotten inside 100 yards of the green. A sand save is recorded when you get up-and-down out of a bunker (meaning one shot to get out of the bunker, then one putt to get in the hole). Two other stats we like to track are sand saves and strokes taken from 100 yards and in. If your ball is just off the putting surface, in the fringe, it doesn't count as a putt for stats purposes even if you use your putter. Per the PGA Tour norm, only balls on the putting surface count as putts. Putts taken per hole is just a counting stat, so count up your putts on each hole. Greens in regulation, or GIR, means your ball is on the putting surface in one shot on a par-3, two shots on a par-4, or three shots on a par-5. Fairways hit means your ball is in the fairway on your tee shot. For fairways and greens, just check off the box on any hole where you're successful. You can list these categories below your name on the scorecard. The statistics most commonly kept on a scorecard are fairways hit, greens in regulation, and putts taken per hole. Many golfers like to keep track of their statistics while playing. One square represents a bogey, while a score with two squares drawn around it represents a double-bogey or worse.Ġ3 of 10 Stroke Play, Tracking Your Statistics So one circle represents a birdie, and a score circled twice represents an eagle or better. Your scorecard will be full of nothing but numbers with squares around them.īut because it's a PGA Tour thing, some golfers like to do it this way. After all, if you're in these categories, you won't be making many (or probably any) birdies. But especially for beginners and mid- and high-handicap golfers, it's pretty pointless. We're not fans of this method, because it creates a sloppy scorecard. A score that is neither circled nor squared is a par. ![]() The circles represent below-par holes and the squares above-par holes. Some golfers notice that on pro golf broadcasts, and on some websites where the scorecards of tour players are re-created, those cards include some holes where the stroke total has been circled or squared. ![]() The easiest hole at Clearview Golf Club is # 2, one of the two 128 yard par-3 holes.02 of 10 Birdies and Bogeys (Circles and Squares) Watch out for # 9 a 410 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course.
