The sections below show how to track these shots. The shot tracking screen comes up when you tap on the box in the "flagstick" column in the score entry screen. The screen shots below are from our Palm OS products, but all platforms look generally the same.

This screen is where you enter the information about your tee shot.
Enter the club used, the distance you hit it, and the
result. The result can be you hit the fairway or green, or
you missed right/left and/or short/long (you can select
both a missed direction and missed distance).
If you want to calculate the distance of your drive given the distance
to the green, enter the distance to the green and then tap on the
Hole length - Length button.

Fairway shots are from the fairway and outside the range of
hitting the green (e.g. 2nd and 3rd shots on par 5's or long par 4's).
Enter the club used, the distance, and
the result. If you're lucky and hit the green, just
record that it landed on the fairway, or change it to an approach
shot.

|
An approach shot is your first shot from a distance greater than 50
yards/meters and you are attempting to land on the green. Enter
the club used, the distance, and
the result.
If you previously filled in a drive distance, IntelliGolf will
automatically fill in your approach shot distance.

A chip shot is your first shot from 50 yards/meters or less.
Enter the club used, the distance, and the
result. If the shot was from a greenside bunker, tap on the
bunker shot checkbox.
If you holed out after one chip and one putt, tap on the Save / up & down
to record an "up and down" or "sand save". If you record a chip shot
that landed on the green in this screen and close it, and then record
1 putt in the hole entry screen later, the save will be automatically
recorded for you.

Try to record the distance of the first putt for every
hole. The IntelliGolf desktop software uses this
information, in conjuction with how many putts you take, to
generate valuable putting statistics. An easy way to
calculate the distance for your putts is to walk off the
distance from your ball to the hole and multiply by 3.
When the distance is too long to do this quickly, just
walk half way to the hole and then multiply by 6.
BTW - Did you know that most amateurs miss their putts
short and/or below the cup? Pro's miss their putts long and
above the cup. Why - that gives their putts the chance to go in.
With IntelliGolf's new Putt Analyzer (desktop) feature you will
quickly be able to spot your putting trends. Since putts account
for about 40% of your stokes, improving your putting means lowering
your scores.
