1. A method of recording and analyzing golf performance data, said method comprising the steps:
- providing a plurality of data acquisition components, each of said data acquisition components having a user interface which enables a user of the data acquisition component to input golf performance data into the data acquisition component;
providing a database for storing the golf performance data input into said data acquisition components, said database being accessible to each of said data acquisition components over a communications network so that a user of any one of said data acquisition components can store inputted golf performance data in said database; and
providing a data analysis component accessible to each of said data acquisition components, said data analysis component being configured to analyze a selected portion of said stored golf performance data by calculating a number of shots per round that would be saved by a golfer if a specified improvement to a performance statistic were attained by the golfer.

Abstract
A system for and method of golf performance recordation and analysis are provided. In accordance with the present invention, a user records hole-level and shot-level performance data for rounds of golf played by one or more players in a data acquisition component and uploads the performance data to a centralized database. The stored information can later be retrieved from the database by the user for visualization and analysis.
