If you’re tracking fairways hit, greens in regulation, and putts per round… you might be getting the wrong feedback about your golf game.

In this video, I’ll show you a much simpler way to track your rounds that actually helps you identify why you’re shooting the scores you are. Instead of relying on misleading golf stats, you’ll learn a practical “check or X” system for evaluating your:

* Tee shots
* Approach shots
* Wedge play
* Putting

More importantly, I’ll show you how to review your rounds and identify the real issues holding your scores back — whether they’re related to ball striking, course management, strategy, or your mental game.

This system is designed for amateur golfers who want better golf stats and meaningful feedback without needing complicated strokes gained apps or tracking every shot.

If you’ve ever struggled to know:

* What to practice in golf
* Why your scores aren’t improving
* How to lower your handicap
* Which parts of your game are actually costing you strokes

…this video will help you build a much clearer picture of your game.

Topics covered:

* Why fairways hit and putts per round can be misleading
* Better ways to track golf performance
* How to evaluate tee shots and approach shots
* Near greens in regulation explained
* Golf stat tracking for amateur golfers
* How to practice smarter
* Mental game and decision-making mistakes
* Simple golf analytics without strokes gained
* How to lower scores faster

My goal with this system is simple: help golfers stop guessing and start understanding what actually matters in golf.
