The top table lists your most recent rounds, and the middle and bottom table lists your best rounds. You are able to select which information you view and you can display as much or as little information as you want. To edit the information displayed on your home page, simply go to preferences and make your selections. By using Quick Post, you can post scores towards your handicap directly from your homepage. Select the appropriate course and tee from the dropdown menu, enter your total score and date, and click on the post button on your screen. If your course is not available in the dropdown menu, click on search for a course to find the course at which you played. In order to monitor your NetHandicap and analyze your game performance, you will need to continuously post your scores. The more detailed information you post, the more you will learn about your game from our analysis. Posting. By clicking on Post Scores you will see your home course scorecard, where you are able to enter detailed round information. If you did not play at your home course and want to see a scorecard for a different course, you can either select another course from the dropdown menu of favorite courses or click on Search to find a course that is not in the dropdown menu. Our directory has scorecards for nearly all courses in the United States and Canada. However, if you cannot find your scorecard, you can Add a Course . Once you have selected a course, you can select the relevant tee, enter the date, and proceed to enter information onto the scorecard. You can enter as little or as much information as you would like, but you must enter the total score. When you start, your scorecard will allow you to enter seven key statistics, including the number of strokes, putts, fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand traps, penalty strokes, and drive distance. The scorecard will show a check mark next to the last six of these lines, indicating that you can enter information for these lines. If you did not record any information for one of these statistics and do not intend to enter information, you may undo the check mark next to these statistics. For your convenience, we have included an option to set your putts for each hole equal to 2. You can then change your putts for those holes where your putts are not equal to two. Perhaps you never record one of the last six statistics on the scorecard, or perhaps you want to track more information. In order to reduce or increase statistics on your scorecard, you may go to preferences/options and make your selections. After you have completed entering information into the scorecard and added your comments in the Round Notes box, simply press Post, to post your scores or Reset to erase your entire entry. When you post, you will obtain a detailed analysis of the round you posted. Please note that NetHandicap.com will automatically convert adjust your score for equitable stroke control. Editing scores.

The scorecard will allow you to edit all key statistics, including the number of strokes, putts, fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand traps, penalty strokes, and drive distance. The scorecard will show a check mark next to the statistics you have selected, indicating that you entered information. If you did not record any information for one of these statistics and do not intend to enter information, you may undo the check mark next to the missed statistic.

We offer four in depth analytical categories, including Handicap, Trend, Score, Course, and Correlation. Each option allows you to learn about specific aspects of your game by allowing you to define your own analysis. Handicap. You can monitor the progression of your NetHandicap. You can define these:
Trend. Tracking your game over time can be one of the most useful ways to evaluate your progress. We allow you to create your own custom trend analysis of your Score, Putts, Putting Average, Greens in Regulation, GIR %, Putts in GIR, Up and Downs, Fairways Hit, Fairways Hit %, Avg. Drive, Sand Saves, Sand Traps %, Penalty Strokes, % Birdies or better, % Pars, % Bogies, % Double Bogies and more. You can also define these:
Course. If you play one course many times, you may be interested in how you play each hole on the course. Course analysis allows you to display your best score and your average strokes for each hole. You need to select the course from a pull down menu of your favorite courses, and you may define the time frame of rounds included in the course analysis. If you choose not to select the time frame, all your rounds at the course will be included. Correlation. Understanding the relationships between different aspects of your game will enable you focus on major improvement areas. NetHandicap's correlation analysis helps you identify how one part of your game affects another part of your game. For example, you can analyze how your fairways hit percent per round affects your total score per round. Correct correlation analysis requires you to select one independent variable and one dependent variable. If the correlation analysis shows a strong relationship, the independent variable affects the dependent variable. For example, your fairways hit represents an independent variable that may affect your total score, which represents the dependent variable. In addition to selecting the variables, you can also define these:
The output of your correlation analysis includes an r-squared number, representing the strength of the relationship between the two parts of your game. If the r-squared is less than 1.0, the relationship between the two parts of your game is not very strong. An r-squared between 1.0 and 2.0 suggests a moderately strong relationship, while and r-squared of more than 2.0 indicates that one part of your game strongly affects another part of your game. You may tailor your NetHandicap pages to reflect your golf game and interests by selecting Preferences.
