How the Golf Performance Scorecard works

Understand your game. Improve your training.
With the Golf Performance Scorecard, you record each round in a structured way – hole by hole – and see at a glance where you are losing strokes. At the end, you enter your totals into the Training Focus Calculator and get clear strengths/weaknesses plus concrete training tips.

1. Enter per hole – quickly, clearly, consistently

For each hole, you manually note:

  • Number of putts (1 / 2 / 3 …)
  • Total distance of putts
  • Score (strokes on the hole)
  • Penalty strokes

In the Golf-18 Blank Edition additionally:

  • Length of the hole (meters)
  • Par (3 / 4 / 5)

Note: Enter the values directly on the green or at the latest on the way to the next tee. This takes less than 30 seconds per hole.

2. Visual hit control – Fairway, Green, Sand Save, Scrambling

On the scorecard you have two illustrations:

Green (GIR – Greens in Regulation)

  • GIR hit: Place a mark on the green if you have reached the green in regulation (Par-3: 1 stroke, Par-4: 2, Par-5: 3).
  • Miss & Tendency: Mark short/long/left/right analogous to the fairway.
  • Optional: Mark the position of the 1st putt (e.g. ~6 m) for better lag-putting analysis.

Fairway (FIR – Fairways in Regulation)

  • Mark hit: Place a mark on the fairway.
  • Visualize miss: Make the mark left/right of the fairway
  • This way you can immediately see at the end of the round how well you hit fairways or where you missed them.

Sandsave & Scrambling

  • Whenever you miss the green, you can visually represent your performance in scrambling and sandsaves.

Advantage: After 9/18 holes you see patterns (e.g. often “short right” on approaches).
This makes error tendencies visible – the best basis for training.

3. After the round: Form totals

At the end of the round, simply add up:

  • FIR % = (Number of fairways hit) ÷ (Number of Par-4/5 tees) × 100
  • GIR % = (Number of greens in regulation) ÷ 18 × 100
  • Putts/Round = Sum of all putts
  • Scrambling % = (Number of “Yes” for Scrambling) ÷ (Number of missed GIR holes) × 100
  • Sandsave % = (Number of “Yes” for Sandsave) ÷ (Number of bunker chances) × 100
  • Score = Total strokes
  • 7-iron length (optional) = measure from training/range (average)

Tip: Also enter your handicap group (e.g. 13–20 or 31–45) so that the calculator compares you against suitable benchmarks.

FAQ

Do par-3 holes count for FIR?
No, FIR only applies to tee shots on par-4/5.

What counts as scrambling?
Par (or better) despite a missed GIR – no matter how (chip/pitch/up-&-down).

How do I measure the length of the 1st putt?
Estimate in 1-m steps (e.g. 4 m, 6 m). It’s about lag-putting tendencies, not centimeters.

Can I also evaluate without bunker shots?
Yes, then Sandsave % remains empty for this round or 0 chances.

Why the system works

  • Objective & analog: You record hard facts – without app distraction.
  • Patterns instead of individual moments: 18 rounds show trends, not outliers.
  • From the course to training: Values → Calculator → Drills → better handicap.
