I am a little confused on the up and downs when tracking my stats. If I hit a ball O.B. and have to re tee or have to take a drop due to hazzards and still have over 100 yards to the green would I track the up and down or leave it blank. Also If I spray a ball and chip back to the fairway then miss the green would I track that as an up and down. Do I make any sense at all.

Not really. The up & down stat refers to your score when you don't hit a green in regulation. On a par 4, if you spray your tee shot and your second doesn't hit the green, but you make par, that's an up and down.

It's pretty self explanatory:
Up and Down
A "Made" up-and-down is a score of par on a hole without a "Green in Regulation". A "Missed" up-and-down is a failed attempt at saving par on a hole without a "Green in Regulation".

So if I have to take a drop off a hazzard my drop is considered a missed green? So any time you don't have a green in reg it is an up and down attempt missed, that seems odd if you go o.b. or are in a hazzard. I have been at other tracking sites that consider an up and down less than 100 yards.

Yardage has no bearing on getting up and down. I think the confusion comes from what is deemed a "chance" to get up & down. I believe you have to be on the green with a chance at par to miss the up & down.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

dday39 is right. To get the ball into the hole in two strokes when starting from off the green or in a greenside hazard. say your second shot on a par-4 is just short of the green. If you make par you've made an up and down Think of it this way; the first stroke was up onto the green; the second stroke was down into the cup.
