Stroke Saver: Track Your Stats And Scores With TheGrint

I love having some stats to look at when I break down my rounds to find out what I need to work on for the next time. Sunday’s round at Riverbend actually seemed much worse than it really was when it was happening, but after sitting down to look at the actual round, really the rough spots was just my driving. Sure, iron play could have been a bit better, but from the shorter blue tees, I had mostly wedges in to the greens. The problem was, most of the round I was playing from the wrong fairways or the trees. Breaking down my rounds with TheGrint puts it all in proper perspective really quickly.

First off, TheGrint is a full on course GPS and stat tracker. It also offers a killer stat package for just $19.99 a year, but I have yet to activate all of that since I am only using it for a few different reasons that don’t require me to have that level of commitment yet. What TheGrint does that is special, is it allows you to establish a fully GHIN compatible handicap for tournament use. Normally, it costs $50-100 to join a club that offers this service, but in an effort to keep my costs down, I skipped that step and joined up at TheGrint to establish a free one. This will allow me to track an official handicap on my journey to scratch.

The next part that I use TheGrint for is keeping up with friend’s online as well. Think of it like Facebook for Golfers. You can watch your friend’s bags for changes, enjoy some friendly competition between yourselves and even enjoy a mini-tour style setup where you can plan tournaments and events. TheGrint has pretty much everyone covered from the casual golfer that wants a free handicap to a seasoned tournament pro that wants to know every state they have for just $20 a year.

TheGrint is a free download from Apple Store or from Google Play. Basic services and stats are free and additional stat keeping services are available for $19.99 a year.
