Golf Stats: What Stats Should We Record?!

The most basic stats in golf are scoring average (handicap), fairways in regulation, greens in regulation, up and down percentage, and total putts. These stats are good in the general sense if you are trying to see what your skill range is. These stats will tell you if you are good, bad, or average at each part of the game so that you know if you need to spend more time practicing that part of the game. However, these stats do not offer any detail. If you have more particular stats under each category, then you can find the exact cause or reason for your stats. For example, instead of just understanding how many putts we hit per round, we can record if we had good or bad speed on each putt. We can record if we read the putt correctly, or if we played too much or too little break. We can record if we got our ball to roll online, or if we pulled or pushed our putt. These more detailed pieces of information tell us exactly how we are losing strokes, and we can spend our time fixing the specific issue, rather than just practicing our putting with no rhyme or reason to it. Having said that, here are a list of stats that you can record for each part of your game:
