Add notes to your round of golf

When tracking your golf scores, of course it’s vital to record all that data, but sometimes golf data just doesn’t give you the whole picture.  There are certain things that a scorecard just can’t record.  Therefore, when you look back you might not be getting the full picture on why you played so well (or dare I say badly).  So to address this problem, we’ve added the ability to add notes to each round of golf you save in the golf scoretracker.  So now you can be reminded that you left your putter in the garage, had to borrow your friend’s, and the rest was history.

Any other features that you would like to see on the site, be sure to drop us a line.

The Score Tracker - A Place To Record All Your Golf Scores

Whether you are a regular golfer or just someone who likes the occasional game with a friend, it’s nice to be able to remember those special rounds where everything goes right.

So, we created the Sandwedged Golf Score Tracker so that you have a place to keep a comprehensive record of all your golf scores.

If you play golf regularly, the Score Tracker is a great tool to see whether you are improving over time, especially important if you are playing the same course. Recording your scores hole-by-hole gives you the option to compare your performance, identifying the troublesome holes where you drop shots and those holes which you play to perfection.

For the social golfer, the Score Tracker can be the place where you show off all the golf scores you are proud of, and keep those rather embarrassing scores hidden away. If you aren’t interested in seeing your hole-by-hole scores, you can just enter your total score instead.

Everyone loves a bit of a competition and so we’ve made sure you can enter your the score of the golf partner or friend who played the round with you. Keeping track of those head-to-head rounds gives you a record of who won the bragging rights on the golf course, something which is always worth printing out and showing off when you’re having a nice drink in the clubhouse.
