I just have a number in relation to par in my head. I’m usually by myself, no need to write shit down. I don’t bother with keeping a handicap. Not giving the USGA a dime.
How did you shoot today at Golf
I was trying to play 3 hole stretches in no more than 2 over since I tend to lose focus. It was working pretty well, but of course once you make a double or triple you've likely blown those 3 holes.
I have had my best rounds not knowing what my total was, but it's hard not to know. There's that line where you want to be distracted so you don't know what your total score is, but not so distracted that you don't focus on playing your current shot well.
garyt1957 big difference when Typhoon is just keeping -1 or -3 in his head and me remembering +15
We could apply our handicap, adding strokes on the appropriate holes before teeing off, and using our "new par" for a plus / minus running score. Not a new approach to play, of course.
I do something similar for practice rounds before my next tournament. (A different course each tournament and the same courses from year to year).
I will bring the card from the tournament or practice round from last year and use that as a standard. If there was a blow up hole.....or two.....or three...or four, a reasonable score on that becomes an immediate positive result.
Got out today with the grandsons, Jesse and Corey. 41/38 at The Gauntlet. Jesse shot 36 on the back 9 after joining me up on the senior tees. Took out the ZING2s today.
I shot 86 with 8 greens. It’s hard to be that incompetent at scoring. 
I had 3 three putts and only 2 one putts. I hit two great shots to get on a par five, then 3 putted it from 50 feet.

No score to post, not played in a couple weeks. Got an email today from a local muni and thought I'd post the flyover they had attached. Very decent course, always in very nice conditions, but has some wicked greens/pin placements at times. Long for me, so hard to break 80 there, but I have (barely) done it a few times. I don't play some of the gold tees(use the whites) as a few are set up for disaster, aiming at trees and OB. Not sure what the thought was in planning.
Thinking we'll play here on Sunday or Monday. Weekend rates are killer.....in the $40s. 
Shot 86 yesterday at my home course. Shot 81 today at CT National. Very gettable course but the greens are the defense. I 3 jacked 5 or 6 times and made nothing. All pars and bogeys.
Good shootin’! 
78 today with three 6's and three birdies. 7 greens and 28 putts. I never know which golfer is showing up, the one who putts okay or the other guy.
I chipped in for a birdie. I played the par threes in even par, which doesn't happen to me. I missed an ace by an inch. It rolled over the hole, according to witnesses, and it stopped about 18 inches past. Yes I made the putt. 
This was my first round with my gamers reshafted to UST RV2 75R (81 gram) shafts from 15 years ago. It is really helping on the short irons. I hit some very clunky 7 irons though. I think the 7 needs some more weight. My hooks seem to be gone because of the shafts. They test out about 1.5 flexes stiffer than the R flexes I was playing. (UST iRN R.)

39/43, 82 today; 41/40, 81 yesterday. On courses where it's hard for me to break 80, so I'll take them. Nothing stands out in either round. Run of the mill golf for me. Greens at both were super hard/fast as is typical at both courses, but only one double bogey in 36 holes. Both courses have "Hills" in the name, and I'm finding I like that.
Had Jake along for company again, and he tore me up both rounds. Today he played the tips for the 1st time ever with me. Makes no diff to him anyway as a 700 yd. Par 5 would still be 'not that much' in distance. Had a couple or 3 at nearly 400 off the tee today. And to think I gave him that cheapo LTDx driver to 'see how it goes'.Well, it went fine and dandy I'd say. And a FW finder for him even at those distances.
Oh yeah, almost forgot.....I hit a couple over 200.
.Par4QC but only one 2-putt in 36 holes.
I don’t like you anymore…
