Bucknut made a comment in another forum that stated "I learned something new today. I did not know that you mark an Eagle with a triangle. I thought it was 2 circles one inside the other going around the number. "
That prompted me to search for an "Official" way to score the card. I can not find anything. It seems there is a general accepted but not an official. Does anyone have a good site that explains the proper way to mark a score card. I have seen many variations. Enough to call it lucky charms..... Check marks, dashes, pluses and minuses.... Circles, Squares, Triangles and Diamonds ... oh my....... |

It looks like there is no "Official Standard" except to write down how many stokes you get. If someone tells you that you are marking the card incorrectly, make them show you where they got their info on the "Proper" procedure. It seems several people I know would get DQ'd in a real tourney.... When I play in a tournament, I only write down score on anything official. And I don't circle anything or mark anything. The card just has numbers on it. I keep my own stats on a separate card in tournaments. |

For my scorecards I always write the difference from par rather than the score... ie: par = 0, birdie = -1, bogey = 1, double bogey = 2, etc. Much easier to add up at the end. Been using that for years, yes, it's much easier to add up the scores at the end. Be careful of the par 35 or par 37 in the nineS. |
