Keeping thses stats are great. It shows where I need the work.

But the one thing I didnt count on is how it makes me enjoy the game more.

By this I mean: that by knowing my handicap I dont get as frustrated with bad shots especially if I havent done the work to improve.

By knowing that most golfers rarely play to their handicap (usually a few strokes worse)I dont have unreal expectations of myself. I can play the game and enjoy it knowing the real score I need to try and beat.

Dont get me wrong……I want to lower my handicap but I havent had the time to work on my game  but im still able to enjoy my once a week rounds knowing what I need to shoot realistically.

Does this make any sense to anyone?

Paying attention to my stats confirmed something that I already knew… that when my short game was better, my scores were better.  The chips may not be glamourous, but they help me save par!
