When you're working on getting better, scores tell only part of the story. I make a custom scorecard for my students that measures all the technique and game-management items we've worked on through the winter.
This card, from my home course, Oakland Hills, shows what I track in my game. Patience is the hardest one: Did I maintain my emotional level throughout the hole? If I did, I check it off. Target is another one: Was I focused on where I wanted the shots to go, not on my score, technique or a bet? I need to focus on swinging in sequence and visualizing my target. The more checks you earn, the better you're getting--regardless of your score.
