Best App for stat tracking

[bearcatnut]

Whats the best app for keeping track of your basic stats? FW, GIR, Putts, Up and Down %, Sand Saves, etc??

 

I would prefer to enter this info after the round and not during

[bok006]

Exactly what I was going to ask.
I was using GolfLogix but after the last update the app didn't open anymore and since I bought a laser range finder I don't need the GPS distances anyway. My phone probably couldn't handle the numerous ads any longer...... Uninstalled!

I'd like to keep up on my driving distances as well and while FW, GIR, sandsaves etc. are easily remembered after the round I would probably need to enter the length of the drives while on the course.

There must be a developer out there for this....

[Bucken77]

Game Golf would help you with that I would think

[bearcatnut]

How about an app that tracks every club and GIR with certain clubs? What about one that has putts gained??

I installed mScorecard.
After 6 rounds it seems to do what I need it to do.
And it was free!

I have downloaded it on my iPhone and, while it is a cool app, the extra 70/80$ a year over golfshot is absolutely not worth it to me.

Go look at www.shotbyshot.com

I have logged a lot of rounds and so far it seems to be great. I just keep a seperate card with my stats during the round. Very simple!!!

shotbyshot looks to be along the same lines of what I'm waiting for, which is Broadie's Strokes Gained app. I'd rather not have to build a spreadsheet, hence the attractiveness of the app. I used Scorecard from Cynical Peak for several years. I liked the fact data was on my desktop. But I also have learned that FW hit doesn't tell me all that much. Plus it's main focus is ease of use so there is a bit of a compromise on some stats.

And while it's great they are a sponsor, unless I am missing something, I'm not seeing enough from Get Real Golf Stats to justify the annual fee. It looks as though it is simply an extension of the basic stats. And while there is something to be said about GIR when you hit the fairway, breaking it down by distance.....

I really think an app that can encompass the strokes gained stuff into the results is where the gold will lie. As I said, I think shot by shot comes closest in terms of current offerings.

I have foursum because my buddy has it and we can follow each other rounds. I didn't look at anything else as he has it.

Doesn't do sand saves but believe it does everything else.

8 rounds in I like it.

[duffer888]

I use Oobgolf. It tracks what you're asking for, its free, they have an iPhone app and all the courses I've played so far are in there.

[Poline]

I usually use FW. But I have an idea to create such an app by myself. I work at [url="http://www.intellectsoft.net/"]http://www.intellectsoft.net/[/url] and have free time to do it. Probably I would get something nice.

I recommend that you don't track those stats, because they are misleading. The best stat tracking app in my opinion is Golfmetrics, which is used for computing shots gained. It's worth what little it costs and is easy to use. In my experience, it renders a far more interesting and valuable assessment of your game.

A scorecard and pencil works great for me.....then i just put it into a spreadsheet and track each year.......dam...i need to get with the times

[Hertsjoatmon]

I use golf pad, but I use it with a smart watch.

I just tap the watch face before every shot and then I get an image on the course map at the end of the round of every shot, distances, stats on shots gained etc

[skywaterbanjo]

GameGolf is great but I'm worried about them with them as a company.

[3riC]

Golfshot for me, been using it since 2009

Also agree, I think on things like this unless you are really diving into your handicap and looking to play in some serious competitive rounds there's a lot more common sense to it than some think. Fairways, GIR, Putts. Keep it simple, maybe mark your misses but after all of that if you need to know how far you hit the ball etc you're already behind. 

 

Local GHIN (Golf Association of Michigan also) keep as much as I need.

It think it really depends on your desire to improve, not necessarily if you are a competitive golfer or not. Some non-competitve golfers still want to get better while others just want to have fun and couldn't care about scores and stats. If you belong to the former group, tracking and reviewing more detailed stats is a great way to get insights into your strenghts and weaknesses. Once I started tracking more than just FIR, GIR, etc, I was surprised to see where I needed work. For example, my stats showed I am a great lag and short range putter, but the mid ranges 5-15 feet were really weak. Now my practice sessions are much more focused on that range for improvement and I just do a little practice for the other ranges for maintenance. This has allowed me to be more efficient with the limited practice time I have. As I said in another stats thread, the traditional stats (FIR, GIR, Putts, etc) don't isolate specific golfing skills and are therefore too generic to be of great use and have many deficiencies. They may indicate whether improvement is happening or not, but they don't show where that improvement/decline is coming from. 

[Brattina1221]

I won't disagree with any of that, I'm actually a fan of data and the importance of using it. I guess my original thought was geared to generic golfers, as the vast majority of people in the game are casual to generic at best. In that essence, the broad stats are enough for them to base judgement on what areas need improved. As a 4 index, I would agree with you that when you boil down the stats within the stats it makes far more sense for us to utilize that information to improve. 

[lefthack]

I generally don't keep score but like using an app to track club yardage and get an idea of greens hit. I know I am improving because I lose less balls and I hit more greens than 6 months ago.

[Jnickoson]

I've been using the 19Birdies app, and it seems to be pretty accurate on yardages. Each hole has a simple Fairway, GIR, Putts checklist at the end of each hole. Quick and efficient.

[Curmudg3on]

TheGrint has some very good data.  They have a free version too.

[tonyt3524]

I think TheGrint is fantasic. The app and web based platform are both really solid.
