Classic Scoring and Strokes Gained Scoring Explained
At 18Birdies, we’ve got two ways to keep score: Classic Scoring for those who like to keep it simple, and Strokes Gained for golfers who want to dive deep into their game.
Let’s break down what each option offers so you can choose the best fit for your next round.
What is Classic Scoring?
Classic Scoring is the traditional way to keep score. It tracks all of the basics: total strokes for each hole, fairways hit, greens in regulation, and number of chips and putts. This straightforward method is great for golfers who want to keep things simple and focus on their overall score without additional data.

What is Strokes Gained Scoring?
Strokes Gained Scoring gives you a clear path to improvement by showing how each shot stacks up against other golfers. As you track every shot throughout your round, Strokes Gained analyzes your game to pinpoint exactly where to focus – whether it’s dialing in your drives, refining your short game, or sinking more putts.
This scoring mode goes beyond basic stats, offering deep insights into your strengths and weaknesses. It takes a little bit more effort, but the rewards are big for golfers who want to understand their game and level up.
