I was recently asked if this site could be used to track Disc Golf as well as regular golf. My answer was not really, however I did agree to clone this site and create a brand new Disc Golf Tracking site called trackdiscgolf.com! It’s essentially the same except setup exclusively for Disc Golfers.  So, if you play disc golf and want to use a site like this one, go check it out here…

I think I finally got the Android app working with Android V6 and maybe even V7, but since I don’t have a fancy new phone I can’t test on V7. You’ll need to completely remove the old app and reinstall the new one at this link.

Use our phone app to record your stats while on the course and then log in to our website to get an in-depth analysis of your game!

I finally got around to creating a facebook page for this site. Please help me get some likes!

I just finished fixing the GPS Course Hole Data feature on the Course page. What in the world is that you ask? Well, eventually (hopefully before it gets warm this year) I’m going to create a phone app for this site. Part of that app will be a GPS where you can get distance to the hole and pretty much anything else you click on. The Front, Middle, and Back green locations for the GPS section of the app will come directly from user who enter it on the course page. Confused yet? Simply put, when you use the phone app and want to get a quick distance to the hole, it will only work if you (or someone else) has first entered the data on the course page of this site.

Steps to enter course GPS data:

• Log in to the site.
• Go to the course page of your favorite course.
• Under the scorecard, click the “add new GPS data”.
• Follow the instructions.

Let me know if you have any questions or see some problems.

Hit’em straight!

Putting touch can come and go. In other articles I have addressed some possible on the course corrections for when your touch is off on any given day. But what about when your distance is pretty good, but you can’t seem to get the ball started on the right line?

Chances are if you are missing your line consistently one way or the other you are simply misaligned. You can try to make a small adjustment to correct your alignment, but this is very difficult to do on the course.

If you are missing your line on both sides, it is a signof Read more…

I recently made a switch from traditional to belly, and so far have loved the results. My stance was out of whack, wrists too involved, and I obviously had trouble making putts. It occured to me that solving many recreational golfers problems with a belly putter seems like an easy solution. Or as Hank Haney described,

“In a normal putting stroke, both ends of the putter can move off line. By anchoring the butt of the club in your stomach with a belly putter, you guarantee that only one end of the club is moving. That makes for a much steadier stroke,especially Read more…

LAW 1:
No matter how bad your last shot was, you
should have Inner peace knowing that a shittier
one is yet to come. (This law does not expire on
the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural
tendency to extend over the course of a
tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.)
LAW 2:
Your best round of golf will be followed almost
immediately by your worst round ever. The
probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.
LAW 3:
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. (Though
this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact
that the more expensive the golf ball, thegreater

The area where a single digit like myself can improve the most is in short game and putting… this blog is about how i have come up with making a boring activity like practice putting meaningful and add a little pressure that you will have when your on the course and you have one attempt at a putt… just figured i would talk about my mentality when i putt and practice my putting. I rarely have more then 30 putts a round… typically i run around 26-29… my highest lately was 32 putts…

first off I have a pre-putt routine that iuse, Read more…

I’m currently a 3 handicap and playing mediocre in my opinion.

Some rounds I go low and play great, for example i shoot a 34 on a par 36 (only played the front 9 of the course). The course wasn’t extremely tough, but it’s not simple either. I went and played 18 holes at a harder course over the weekend and shoot an 80. I couldn’t putt worth a crap. 34 total putts later it was a mess.

Anyways, I have been thinking about getting bettor and how to accomplish that. First off I want to say that i work 40 hours aweek Read more…
