Post-Round Review

Learn from every round you play.

Why it matters

A round contains a great deal of information and almost all of it is lost within an hour. Five minutes of review afterwards turns a round into data — specifically, into the one thing worth practising next, which is otherwise chosen by whim.

How to do it

Immediately after the round, note where the strokes went: drives, approaches, putts, decisions, penalties.
Be specific. "Putting was bad" is not useful; "missed four putts between 20 and 30 feet" is.
Separate bad execution from bad decisions. They need completely different fixes.
Pick ONE thing to practise before the next round, and write it down.
Track it across rounds. A pattern over five rounds is real; one round is noise.

Common mistakes

Reviewing only the bad holes.Strokes leak in ordinary holes too — a mediocre approach leading to a 30-foot putt is a cost that never looks dramatic.

Picking three or four things to work on.One. Three changes at once means not knowing which worked, which is how practice becomes busywork.

Reviewing days later.Do it in the car park. The detail is gone within an hour and the memory that remains is mostly the worst hole.

The drill

Drill · Five minutes in the car park — 5 minutes of notes after every round, for 5 rounds. Five minutes immediately after each round: where the strokes went, bad decisions separated from bad execution, and one thing to practise. After five rounds read them together. The pattern that appears is usually not what you would have guessed.
