How to Use the Automated Scorecard
1. Go to the “This Week’s Results” spreadsheet at www.jscgl.org. Open the spreadsheet.
2. Go to the “Match Matrix” tab or the “Weekly Pairings & Results” tab on the spreadsheet to determine your
opponent (today’s matches will be in yellow).
3. Determine which nine we are playing and then go to the “Handicap” tab for the nine you are playing today. Find
the handicaps (Current Course Handicap column) and get your team and your opposing team handicaps. Write
them down.
4. Now open the Timber Creek Score Card spreadsheet and go to the Data Entry worksheet.
5. Enter player data in the slots as per the example below, Team 1 is your team and team 2 is your opponent, enter
the lower handicap on the team is the “A” player, the higher handicap as the “B” player.
6.
Now click on the worksheet for the nine we are playing today, the team and player names, handicap info and
date should all be automatically populated in the correct pairing info. The holes where a player gets strokes
from their opponents will have a dot in the corner. The program eliminates strokes where both players get the
same number of strokes on a given hole and only shows the difference, for example: a 6 handicap playing a 10
handicap, the 6 gets no strokes and the ten gets 4 strokes indicated by the four dots.
7. Your scorecard is ready to print.
8. Entering scores: You enter the actual gross score for each hole (if you shoot a six put a six in the block) and
determine the winner of a hole, taking into account any strokes (dots), if applicable. Mark the upper or lower
portion of the diagonal box between the players to indicate who won the hole. If it’s a draw, make no marks.
Each team should keep the score for both teams and when then match is over compare the results and resolve
any differences.
9. At the end of the nine hole match, count the marks to get a nine hole match play score (in the example below of
Andu vs. Metcalf, Metcalf wins 2/5.)
(In this example, for match play: Andu lost to Metcalf 2/5, for the match Metcalf gets 2 points for
match play. Barido and Bond push (tie) their match 3 to 3 and each get one match point. For
stroke play, Metcalf beat Andu (net score) 37 to 41 and gets 2 points for stroke play, Barido and
Metcalf (net score) tied 38 each, and each gets 1 stroke play point. The total team net scores are
added together 75 (37 + 38) vs. 79 (41+38) and the lower total gets 2 points (if the total scores are
a tie, both teams split the 2 points, 1 each). Totaling across, the Andu/Barido team earns 2 points
and the Metcalf/Bond team earns 8 points. (This is only an example, so no offense intended to
either team). Only one last step to complete the scorecard.)
10. A player from each team signs both scorecards, the scorer signs and a member of the other team attests to the
score. This should resolve any differences in the scores between scorecards.
Team 1 Signs,
Team 2 Attests
