Our test looks at the full picture of your golf season
The holiday season is about giving thanks and reconnecting with the people you love, but before you do that, it’s also time to take a hard look at the golf season that just passed. This is the third year of my season-end self-assessment known as the Golf Competence Achievement & Reward Test (aka the Golf CART), which attempts to provide a holistic view of your golf experience over the past 12 months.
The Golf CART isn’t an official metric, and we’re not yet at the part where you’d brag about your score at holiday parties. Then again, maybe you should, because the CART aspires to be a more accurate reflection of your golf season than just a bunch of numbers on a scorecard.

As usual, we will outline how it works and provide some examples from the staff below. The CART becomes even more helpful when comparing your CART score from one year to the next. But it also works as an isolated snapshot, so if this is your first time taking it, don’t worry.
One last thing, as usual, CART scoring is entirely subjective. We’re not asking how well you drove the ball compared to Rory McIlroy, but how you did on a scale only you can determine. This will all make sense when you read on below, so let’s get to it.
