Golf is a statistics-driven game, but recording the data can be time-consuming. An affordable trio of products from Siscosoft makes this easier than ever before.

Golfwits PC uses customized golf course maps to help you record all your shots. Siscosoft has over 7,000 courses on file and will build new maps for $20 each. As you play, you record each shot—including club and flight pattern and distance—in a yardage book that shows layout and yardage markers, one page per hole. After the game, take 5 minutes to enter this data into the program. If you have a Palm or Windows CE device, you can enter data while playing using Pocket Golfwits.

The wide range of statistics include driving distance, greens hit in regulation, and distance per club. Using the Statwits tool included with the PC version, you can produce stats for multiple rounds, though information is text only.

eScoringRecord is an online tool that lets you upload multiple rounds to compute an unofficial handicap. This service displays stats graphically and presents color-coded analysis highlighting weak spots in your game. You can also print out "storybooks" for each round that show the club hit and distance for each shot.
