Abstract: Systems and methods based on statistical analysis for golf performance of a user wherein the user provides inputs and coordinates of a series of corresponding starting points and target areas as well as recordation of actual shot locations from those starting points, and wherein the statistical analysis includes text, tabular, diagrammatic, and/or image-based outputs, such as scattergraph diagrams and/or shot zone diagrams that provide information including zone-based target areas rather than merely pinpoint targets, relating to trends in the user's golf performance over a predetermined period and/or providing a portable and preferably pocket-sized printed version of shot performance and/or statistical likelihood of present or future performance based upon past performance for any given golf club, golf course conditions.
