I have tried several methods of note taking.
First I tried writing everything down prior to taking the
shot. Location of ball, lie, distance to pin, wind speed and direction,
elevation to pin (if approach shot). I would also write down club used, amount
of spin and % of swing. Then if I hit the ding I would write down the location
of the ball, distance traveled (both air and roll). This left a lot of info and
time used for each shot. It was very difficult to decipher relevant information
for subsequent shots unless I was very close to the same location.
Next I tried playing a practice round where I would putt 8-9
times on each green. I would capture a screen shot or two (depending on camera
views). I would mark them up showing ridges direction of rolls and where the
best landing areas were for a given hole location. Again this was a lot of
information that was difficult to digest. And why would I try and land 3 yards
from the pin? I seem to do this quite well on my own without trying.
On CTTH I started taking notes like how many yards to add or
subtract for a particular hole and the amount of spin. Also the amount of power
for some shots. This type of note taking seems to work well, but it is the same
shot over and over again.
I have learned so much about this game from this forum, but
have not seen anything about note taking other then people stating that you
need to take them. So could some of you share how you take notes and what is
the relevant information for you? This is one part of my game that seems to be
lacking (along with reading greens and not hitting the ding).
Thank you,
