A golf scorecard is a document used by players to record their scores during a round of golf. It typically includes information such as the names of the players, the date, and the course being played. Each hole on the course is listed with its par value, allowing players to track their performance against the expected score. Scorecards also provide space for players to note their strokes on each hole, as well as the total score for the round. Many scorecards feature a layout of the course, including distances and hazards, helping players strategize their shots throughout the game.
