The 20th Hole You’ve heard of the 19th hole, the place to grab a drink, have a bite to eat, and discuss the round with your playing partners. Welcome to The 20th Hole – Stat Book and Log for Golfers, the book for analyzing your overall game, setting goals and tracking progress, tracking statistics for 40 rounds, recording notes and keys from 50 practice sessions and lessons, starting your personal golf record book, adding new shots to your repertoire, and learning fundamentals, tips, and strategies. By combining your personal golf information with the instruction provided, this book can be a resource to help you improve your game and reach your golf potential. PLAY.ANALYZE.PROGRESS The 20th Hole – Stat Book and Log for Golfers, is designed for you to set your golf goals, track your progress, track your statistics and analyze your game for 40 rounds, record important notes and keys from 50 practice sessions or lessons, start your personal golf record book, and add new shots to your repertoire. The goals section allows you to set short-term and long-term golf goals, track your progress, make adjustments accordingly, and record the results. Writing down your goals helps you set the process in motion and frequently reviewing your goals helps keep you on track and motivated towards achievement. Tracking specific statistics such as fairways in regulation, greens in regulation, up and downs, sand saves, and putting helps you identify strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies in your game. The book is also set up for you to summarize your stats and take your averages after every five rounds in order to pinpoint any trends in your game. Performing post round analysis will help you to identify areas that need the most work before your next round. Recording notes from practice sessions and lessons will help you to remember the most important fundamentals, mechanics, swing changes, swing thoughts, tips, and drills you have been working on. Over time, this will provide you with a written history of the most important keys for your individual game. The record book section is for you to track your scoring records, greatest shots, and highlights from your golfing career. This will provide you with a history of your records and motivate you to set new ones. Adding to your golf shot repertoire is a section that lists many of the golf shots that are possible to hit. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or more experienced player, there is always a new shot you can learn or improve on. The goal here is to learn as many new shots as possible. Additionally, there are instructional sections on fundamentals, practicing more effectively, swing thoughts, pre-shot routine, course management, and golf in the off-season. These topics were chosen specifically to help you improve with your statistics, set new records, and achieve your golf goals. By combining what you’ve learned about your game with the tips and strategies provided, this book can be used as a resource for you to take your game to the next level, and hopefully, reach your full golf potential. In the October 2008 edition of Golf Digest magazine, Hank Haney, the swing coach for Tiger Woods, wrote an article titled “How Good Can You Get?” In this article, he wrote that you can take the temperature of any player by looking at four stats: total driving, greens in regulation, scrambling, and three-putt avoidance. He wrote that when a player sees where their shots are going, they know which parts of their game need improvement. The main points of his article go hand in hand with what “The 20th Hole” is designed to help you accomplish. Tracking your statistics in these specific categories will help you discover your true weaknesses and tendencies on the course. Once you know these, you can then focus on making the necessary adjustments to improve.

How good would you be if you understood your stats on the golf course a little better? How many fairways do you hit from round to round? How about putts or greens in regulation? I’m a firm believer that an analysis of stats is the way to improvement. Statistics do not lie, and while I don’t need extra reinforcement to let me know that I’m in need of improvement, I relish the chance to pour through my stats. One of the most unique aspects of this book is the feel. It feels like I’m learning and is similar to a school workbook or homework for golf. Now before you shudder, I should clarify, this is not homework that you are going to mind. Instead of worthless algebra equations and run of the mill geography lessons, you’re really helping your golf game. This book has space for quick comments, goals, achievements and every on-course stat imaginable. I would call it the ultimate record of course management! Adam McCaa As a golf professional for over 30 years, I’ve seen many teaching aids and I feel this book is a quality and beneficial product. I would recommend this book to any golfer who wants to discover the ins and outs of their game. Tracking specific stats can help any golfer find out the true strengths and weaknesses of their game. Taking notes from lessons and practice sessions can provide a resource to look back and remember the most important and vital swing keys. A good product for organizing all the relevant information any golfer would need! George Danielson Of all the golf journals or logs I’ve seen, The 20th Hole is by far the most comprehensive. The various sections are organized to help a golfer set specific goals, track every stat, record notes and keys learned in lessons, track new shots learned, and record every golf record they’ve set. All in all, it’s a nice new product that can be of benefit to golfers of all skill levels! Travis Shepherd When I received The 20th Hole, I was skeptical. How could taking notes help my game? The only thing that I thought could help was playing and practicing more. Well, after using Matt Gullo’s book and recording some of my rather poor stats, my skepticism was proven incorrect. When I started recording information about my various shots; both good and bad, I started to see some consistencies that I never knew I had. Knowing specifically what shots to practice on has helped my game. It turns out that a few minutes of taking notes after each round can truly be helpful and The 20th Hole makes taking those notes easy to do in a meaningful and organized format. The 20th Hole: Stat Book and Log for Golfers, is a fantastic resource to compile everything you need to know about your golf game. Combining your goals, stats, notes from lessons, new shots learned, and personal records is a great way to assess your overall game and learn from it. It really helps you to make necessary adjustments and take your game to the next level! Jim O’Hara I’ve kept track of my stats in notebooks throughout my entire career. I enjoy comparing my stats to the touring pros and this book is perfect for keeping everything organized in one place. This book not only allows golfers to track all of their own personal information, but it provides golf fundamentals, tips, and strategies to help golfers improve their games. This book is a useful and beneficial combination! Tony Felt ’I’ve been extremely focused this year on getting my golf game back in shape. The 20th Hole has helped me to focus my efforts and organize exactly which parts of my game need the most work. The book has provided me with a good review of fundamentals and course management strategies. This book has helped me get back on track! Dan Patterson The overall concept of this book is very intriguing. After discussing your round at the 19th hole, visit The 20th Hole to record your stats and analyze your game. This book helps you break down every aspect of your game and pinpoint the specific areas in which you need to most work. Instead of just general practice to improve, what specific aspects and shots do you need to practice the most? This book helps you discover those specific aspects. I definitely recommend using this book! Michael Rogers |
