I use www.howdidido.co.uk

If your club is registered then you can check your handicap, competition rounds and up coming events. You can also enter you own rounds which you can then 'embelish' where you enter what you took of the tee, did you hit the fair ways, G.I.R. how many birdies, pars and on what holes etc. Its not bad, but you do need to register which is free, worth a shout.

SS2 is score saver 2 software for collating all your golf statistics, like GIR, total putts, sand saves, fairways hit etc. At a guess it is a £30 per year subscription, but for those who collect stats, it is the best, apparently.

If you give it an hour, I am sure one of the SS2 users will explain all.

Has to be scoresaver 2 (you knew i was going to say that didn't you!). It is a one of subscription and is a pc based system that will give you more than enough stats to monitor your game. In addition you can record practice sessions (including comments) so you can see what you have been working on. It has a section for recording lessons and what you were taught so you can work back if your game goes astray.

The data is really easy to record. There is a scorecard sheet that you simply record where your drives went, whether you hit a green in regulation (and which direction you missed), sand saves, the number of putts on each hole, driving distance and any penalty shots. You can also export data and there is a section you can give to your pro to show your stats and progress.

When you put the data in you can record a whole round or if you just played nine or a few holes after work those as well. It can also be used to record any handicap adjustments.

Its a one off fee but if you PM SS2 onhere he will give you a discount code to get £5 off. THere are a few of us on here using it and most are pretty happy. It is very user friendly and gives you loads of data

Got to recommend ScoreSaver2, (especially as I've just reviewed it for GM).

Has just about everything imaginable for recording and tracking your scores and progress. It will help you identify strengths and more importantly weaknesses. Already I have seen I was missing too many greens short, underclubbing. As a result I am trying to be more agressive on approach and have shot my handicap or below for the last 6 rounds.

Customer service and support is excellent too, especially from Andy.

Give it a go, I believe there is a free trial period.

John.

There are lots of websites which offer a free service and a paid-for subscription service, the latter providing more functions and features. Strokeaverage.com is probably the best of these, £30 a year subscription. GolfShake is also very popular and has been around for many years.

How-did-i-do is a great site which is fed from many golf clubs who run Club 2000 handicapping software. Its free service is great as it can tell you competition results and give you access to handicap listings (handy if you want to make sure that the 16 hcapper who just duffed you up 7&6 is ACTUALLY a 16 handicapper). I believe they offer a premium subscription service but I haven't used it.

On the software front (i.e. programs you download as opposed to access via a browser), I am obviosuly biased being the lead developer of Scoresaver since 1998. PM me if you want details of our special Xmas offer. I can confirm that Scoresaver 2 is a one-off purchase, not a subscription.

It is interesting that the Original Poster mentioned that he wanted to record full or partial rounds. When we produced the original Scoresaver in 2001, it required you to enter a score at each hole and wouldn't let you save an incomplete round. When we drew up the Spec for Scoresaver 2 (released March 2007), we decided that support for incomplete rounds was a must. The effect of this was to make all the stat calculations hideously complicated but we got there in the end.
