There is plenty of research indicating that goal-setting promotes improvement.īut perhaps the best aspect of these mini “stat goals” is that you can recognize small wins (baby steps), the building blocks of lasting improvement. With stats, you can break down big goals (breaking eighty, achieving a scratch handicap) into smaller, bite-sized goals (bring my ‘FW Hit %’ from 47% to 55% over the next 5 rounds). Set Better (and More Attainable) GoalsĪnother key reason golfers should track and know their stats is that stats help you set challenging yet attainable goals. #GAME GOLF SHOT TRACKER DRIVER#Here’s a simple example of stats easily guiding me to the type of practice I need: if I see my ‘Overall Putts/Hole’ is 1.8 but my ‘Putts/GIR’ is 2.2, that probably means I have lead hands or need to work on my lag putting (or both).Īnother example: If my ‘FW Hit %’ with my driver is 38% and is 62% with my 3-wood, I probably have been watching too many John Daly YouTube videos, need to work on my Driver accuracy, and ought to look for opportunities to substitute in 3-wood for Driver during rounds.

The last couple years have seen a good deal of discussion about technology’s effects upon golf as a culture and as an commercial industry, about the adoption of ‘golf-tech’ products, and golf-tech’s potential in both of these regards.īeing a golfer myself, I think the ability to track your round shot-by-shot is one of the coolest features golf-tech has unlocked for us thus far.
