The Scorecard
Post strokes hole by hole and the card does the arithmetic: handicap strokes by stroke index, Stableford points, gross and net, nine-hole subtotals and a ranked list. Switch to scramble mode when the unit of play is a team.
Setup
Set the course
Par and stroke index on the card below are an illustrative par-72 layout. Type over them with the numbers from your own course’s scorecard, choose how many players or teams are on the card, and decide what share of each handicap you are allowing.
100 uses each handicap in full. Accepts 0 to 100.
Team handicap helper for scrambles
Enter up to four player handicaps, lowest first or in any order, and a weight for each position. The helper sorts the handicaps, applies the weights and suggests a team handicap. The pre-filled weights are an illustrative starting point; use whatever your committee has published.
Suggested team handicap: 0.0
The card
Post the scores
Type strokes into each hole. Use P for a pick-up, which scores zero points. Leave a hole empty if it has not been played. The up and down arrow keys, and Enter, move you through the holes in a column.
- Circle: under par
- Double circle: two or more under
- Plain: level par
- Square: over par
- Double square: two or more over
- Stableford points for the hole

Standings
Ranked by Stableford points. Ties are broken by countback: the last nine holes, then the last six, three and one. Entries that still tie share a rank, marked with a T.

Notes and assumptions
Rules of the card
How Stableford points are counted
Stableford rewards each hole separately, so one disaster never ruins a round. The points depend on the net score, which is strokes taken minus any handicap strokes received on that hole, compared with par.
| Net score | Points |
|---|---|
| Double bogey or worse | 0 |
| Bogey | 1 |
| Par | 2 |
| Birdie | 3 |
| Eagle | 4 |
| Albatross | 5 |
How handicap strokes are given
The playing handicap is each entry’s handicap multiplied by the allowance percentage and rounded to a whole number. Strokes are then handed out by stroke index, where index 1 is the hardest hole.
- A playing handicap of 18 receives one stroke on every hole.
- Below 18, strokes go to the lowest indexes first: a playing handicap of 7 receives a stroke on indexes 1 to 7.
- Above 18, every hole gets one stroke and the extra strokes start again at index 1: a playing handicap of 22 receives two strokes on indexes 1 to 4 and one stroke elsewhere.
- A plus handicap works in reverse. Enter it as a negative number, or type a leading plus sign: both +2 and -2 mean two strokes better than scratch. Strokes are given back on the easiest holes, so a plus-2 hands one back on indexes 17 and 18.
Scramble mode
In a scramble each team plays one ball, so the card holds one score per hole for the whole team. Choose Scramble and every column becomes a team. The team handicap is typed in directly; the helper in hole 5 can suggest one from the four players’ handicaps and weights that you control. The card still shows gross, net and Stableford points, so you can rank by whichever your committee has announced.
Edge cases, handled
- Empty hole: not counted anywhere. The totals state how many holes are posted.
- Pick-up (P): zero points; its strokes are left out of gross and net.
- Missing or unreadable handicap: that column shows dashes and a message until it is fixed. Handicaps from -10 to 54 are accepted, with decimals.
- Duplicate stroke index: the card warns you, and still allocates strokes from what you typed. Fix it for an accurate result.
- Par outside 3 to 6, or strokes above 20: refused with a plain message, never a silent guess.
- Nine-hole events: leave the back nine empty. Totals cover whatever is posted.
- Same-name players: fine. Columns are independent; names are only labels.
Where your numbers live
The card saves to this browser as you type, so a refresh will not lose it. It never leaves your device. Print it, or copy the standings by hand, before you clear site data.
