Abstract: A hand held device (1) for recording scores of a golf game played by one or more players comprises a VDU (3) which selectively displays reference fairways (30) graphically, and which permits a player to enter the position of the location of a ball after each shot on the VDU (3) by positioning a cursor at a position (41) on the green (31) or the reference fairway (30) displayed on the VDU (3) corresponding to the position of the ball on the fairway or green being played. A microprocessor (2) stores a graphical representation of each reference fairway (30) with the positions (41) of the ball, which have been entered by the cursor on each fairway, in a RAM (5), and computes the number of shots to each hole (29). A score card for each player is displayed on the VDU (3). Graphical representations of each player's performance on each fairway can be reviewed after the game.
