Golf Scorecard
Enter strokes per hole for up to 4 players and this scorecard totals OUT, IN and TOTAL, tracks running score to par as E, +n or -n, and can switch to stableford points with handicap strokes allocated by index.

How to play
- Enter player names (1-4), decide whether you want stableford points mode, then tap Start Round.
- Confirm or edit the par and stroke index for each hole — stroke index only matters if you're using handicaps.
- Enter each player's strokes hole by hole; OUT, IN, TOTAL and the to-par chip (E/+n/-n) update automatically as you go.
- If stableford mode is on, enter each player's handicap once — the points table applies strokes to the correct holes by index and totals points automatically, where higher is better.
Tallying a golf card by hand means adding up strokes, subtracting par hole by hole, and hoping nobody miscounts the back nine. This scorecard does the arithmetic for up to four players: type in a par and stroke index for each of the 18 holes, then enter strokes as you play, and it keeps a running OUT, IN and TOTAL alongside a live to-par chip shown as E, +n or -n. Flip on stableford mode before the round starts and it switches to points instead of strokes, applying each player's handicap strokes to the correct holes by stroke index before scoring — so the player with more points, not fewer strokes, is the one who's actually ahead. Undo the last entry any time a number gets typed in wrong.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the to-par chip work if I haven't finished all 18 holes yet?
- The to-par total only counts holes that actually have a strokes entry — it sums (strokes minus par) across just the played holes, so an unfinished round shows an accurate partial to-par instead of treating empty holes as zero or as par.
- How are handicap strokes assigned to specific holes?
- Each hole has a stroke index from 1 (hardest) to 18 (easiest). A player's handicap strokes are given to the lowest-numbered stroke-index holes first — a 9-handicap gets one stroke on the 9 hardest holes, while a handicap above 18 starts giving a second stroke on the hardest holes again. Net score on each hole is gross strokes minus whatever strokes that hole grants.
- What do stableford points actually reward, and why is higher better?
- Stableford scores each hole relative to net par: 2 points for net par, 3 for a net birdie, 1 for a net bogey, and 0 for net double-bogey or worse (with 4 for an eagle and 5 for better). Unlike stroke play where the lowest score wins, stableford rewards being at or better than par on as many holes as possible, so the player with the highest point total wins.
