How do you keep track of your score during a casual round?

[bikinjack]

I got a Roswell Park handy dandy reusable score card. It rocks.

I don't know how you "in your head" guys do it, and I wonder how accurate you are.

I'm a in your head guy, and it's easy to do for me at Rankin, or someplace I've played a few times, but at a course I've never played before, it's tough. I can always remember my overall score, and if I can't remember every hole I just put in an overall score in my scorebook here. The scorebook rocks by the way. I think it's the most under utilized features of this great website.

Yeah for some reason that facility in my brain only works for every song lyric I have heard since 1985.

I can't remember words for songs for squat. Numbers, no problem, words, not so much.

I'm good on anything before 1985 or so; not so much on things since then.

Well I am including music from all the way back to the 50s just counting 1985 as my first musical appreciation period. I rememeber setting my alarm for 11pm on Sunday nights and hiding the radio under my blankets and listening to Dr. Demento until it ended or I fell asleep, whichever came first.

I just use the iPhone disc golf app. If there was a handy dandy way to put it straight into DGCR scorebook I would do that.

I used to love that show. To this day, I still occasionally get the song "I'm Looking Over My Dead Dog Rover" stuck in my head.

Oh, I keep score with pen & paper.

I still sing Bras on 45 and Wet Dream on occassion.

I still sing Bras on 45 . . . on occassion.

"She had me upside down and inside out
in the back of my Cortina . . ."

 

[billnchristy]

Wow! I knew I liked you Scott, I don't think I ever met someone else that knew that song, not that it comes up in conversation much...

I wrote a quick and dirty scorecard app for my phone and use that. Works great, although its not too robust. When I get around to it I need to add more features (specify pin position for each round, the ability to note penalty strokes rather than just total, etc)

 

[Kwick]

nice clipboard idea. (office depot) you spelled gatorade wrong on the right hand side.

but he spelled it right on the left hand side....... :clap:

Is this the song you're talking about?

 

[Trashthrasher]

We usually just count +/- par playing par 3. Example... "I'm +2" or "I'm -4" etc. etc.

Ha. Nope. http://www.last.fm/music/Ivor+Biggun/_/Bras+on+45

The Dr. Demento show was the only bright spot in an otherwise utterly dreary radio landscape (wall-to-wall Journey, Loverboy, Kansas, Styx, Boston, etc.) in northeast Arkansas in my late teen years. The main rock station in Jonesboro ran it at 10 pm Sunday nights, and I hardly ever missed it.

Nearly 30 years on, I can still do a word-perfect recitation ('cuz I can't sing) of Bryan Bowers' "The Scotsman", drunk or sober.

 

[billnchristy]

Ivor Biggun! I could not remember the name of that guy...hahahaha.

 

[1x1wraps]

i voted that i use my head, but i think i need to switch that up since i usually forget

 

[1x1wraps]

while on this subject, does anyone know a good scorekeeping application for android?

 

[jaymon1]

In my head, and then recorded in a spreadsheet when I get home. +/- 3 by hole just to keep the math simple (I don't want to use the p word improperly).
