Abstract: A golf counter is constructed in a completely mechanical manner and includes a first counting mechanism with a display (202) for counting a number of strokes per hole, a second counting mechanism with a display (203) of a total number of strokes, and a third counting mechanism with a display (204) of played holes, wherein a press button (212) for indexing the third counting mechanism to the next position automatically sets the first counting mechanism into a zero position. Thereby, the display of the second counting mechanism is a sum hand (203) which may be rotated about a central pivot of the golf counter. The sum hand (203) permits an analog representation of the state of the game, in contrast to the common two-or three digit displays with digit disks. The counting mechanism is preferably designed as an autonomous module, and is arranged in a watch between the dial and the clockwork.
