Lesson 2: Your Personal Golf Statistics Report
Professional golfers receive detailed statistics reports from their caddies, coaches, and data companies. These reports show exactly where shots were gained and lost, which clubs performed best, and which holes were most challenging.
You are going to create your own personal statistics report — using real data from your rounds over the past five weeks.
A good statistics report answers three questions: What went well? (your strengths), What needs work? (your weaknesses), and What will you do about it? (your plan).
The numbers do not judge you. They just tell you the truth. And the truth is the most useful thing a player can have.
A statistics report answers: What went well? What needs work? What is the plan?
Numbers tell the truth about your game — and the truth is always the most useful starting point for improvement.
Create your Personal Golf Statistics Report. Using data from your golf diary and scorecards, fill in: (1) your average score per round, (2) your average putts per round, (3) your fairway percentage, (4) your best hole (lowest score relative to par), (5) your hardest hole (highest score relative to par), (6) one strength to be proud of, and (7) one specific thing to practice before your next round. Sign and date it. This is your official golf report card — written entirely by you, about you.
