One of the biggest complaints we hear from our clients is not having enough time to work on their games. Even when they do find a few minutes to practice, are they indeed working on the most relevant area of their game? The simplest way of learning which area of your game is the most important to you personally, the pattern to your game if you like, is by keeping some statistics on your golf, other than just the final score! After each and every round write down a few details on the following:

Fairways hit?

Greens in regulation? (I.e. putting for birdie)

Putts per round?

Up and downs? (I.e. how many chip and one putts)

Start with just these four basic figures and I’m positive you will start to understand exactly where you are dropping your shots on a regular basis. Either store them on your pc or jot them down in a note book that you can keep in your golf bag. You can even forward me these stats as it makes sense that I know which are the key areas to work on for the next lesson.
