Should I track bad rounds too?

I only want to save rounds where I play well, but I know that might hide the real picture. What do you all do?

Best summary so far

Everyone said to track every round. Bad rounds show useful patterns, especially penalties, three-putts, and tee shot misses.

This sounds familiar. I would keep the next step small and use one of the site tools before changing too much.

Good question. The answer depends on pace, safety, and whether the course feels fair from the tees you choose.

I tried something similar last month. Writing notes after the round helped me more than trying to fix it during play.
