a card used in golf to record each player's scores for each hole during a round
A scorecard in golf is a written record used to track the number of strokes a player takes to complete each hole on a golf course. It shows the par for each hole, which is the expected number of strokes to finish the hole, and the player's score for each hole. The scorecard also typically includes other details such as the course's layout, hole numbers, and yardages. After finishing the round, the total score from all holes is added up, giving the player’s final score for the round. The scorecard is used in competitions and for personal tracking of performance.
