Recording and analyzing your score with Strokemaster ^® is easy and fun. To illustrate just how easily this information can be recorded, a sample scorecard is provided. In recording your golf strokes, it is useful to observe these simple conventions:

1. The Drive: Enter one stroke for the initial drive and indicate if it held the fairway ("Y" for Yes; "N" for No). Enter any penalty on the left side of the Penalty column.

2. Approach Shots: Enter one stroke for each approach shot. Enter any penalty on the right side of the Penalty column. In the boxes provided, also record the clubs hit (abbreviate "3w" for 3 wood, "2i" for 2 iron, etc.)

3. Chips: Enter one stroke for each pitch or chip shot taken from 65 yards in.

4. Putts: Enter one stroke for each putt taken.

5. Sand Shots: Enter one stroke for each greenside sand shot. Use an asterisk (*) to denote shots from fairway bunkers.

6. Total Score: To obtain the score per hole, add across the total number of strokes per hole. Note that the score for each hole is self-justifying and is equal to the sum of the individual strokes recorded by game component. The sum of the numbers added down this column equal your total game score.

Strokemaster ^® is more than a scorecard. Beyond enabling golfers to keep track of their score, the Strokemaster ^® scoring system facilitates score evaluation by enabling golfers at all skill levels to evaluate each game component against related benchmarks established for different peer groups. In this way, game strengths and weaknesses are identified quickly and easily. This promotes lower scores by enabling golfers to focus attention on those game components most in need of improvement.
