Forgan of St Andrews Golf Score Counter

Bought this item as a simple stroke counter and it seems to do fine in that regard. It keeps track of up to 4 players and displays a running total of each score as well as the stroke count for the present hole. In that regard it does a great job.The device has four buttons, stroke, player, up and down. (And a reset button in a very small hole on the back) The stroke button is also the "on" button, to reset the scores you press and hold the "up" and "down" buttons together. There is no "off" button, you just let the device time out at the end of a round. The battery lasts about 20 to 25 rounds and requires a phillips screw driver to change.The device has a display showing 18 holes and the score for each, when you start a round there are zeros displayed for all of the holes, the zeros are easy to see but the hole numbers are pretty microscopic for my eyes. The device has one digit for each hole's score so the max for any hole is 9 strokes.In the description it says it also tells time, has an alarm and tells the temperature. Good luck in trying to use those features, as I said, the directions stink.If you need a good score counter this does a decent job.

The screen and print on the screen is a bit smaller than I would like. I have no problem reading it, but as I got it as a gift for my Grandfather, he has a bit more difficultly reading it. On the flip side, it's very small and portable so it will not be a pain on the golf course, you can just clip it on your bag or belt loop. It's light and easy enough to work. It comes with simple, plain English directions and stores up to 4 different players scores, which is perfect for going golfing with the boys, or playing a captain and crew tournament.

This score counter does the job by keeping score and keeping total shots throughout the day. One issue I did have with it is that the plastic cover over the screen is very loose to the point it slides around. It started drizzling one day on the course and water started getting inside and fogging up. I had to actually put the counter away and go back to paper. But, it still works perfectly fine and it still gets 4 stars because it still get the job done and that what I purchased it for. Considering how much I paid for it, If it lasts 6 months or more Ill be happy.

Never worked. Changed the battery and still wouldn't work. Tried to reach out to seller for replacement but to no response. Very disappointing.

Purchased Oct 4, 2011 and this is my review of Nov 16. The clear plastic face cover was loose and able to move right out of the box. The instructions were very poorly worded and inadequate. It seems to not reliably maintain time. The buttons are very small, and pressing only one button puts you in the time change mode. It has cleared scores to zero on it's own twice, the second time yesterday in the middle of a golf round. The Amazon website does not seem to allow customer service contact or a cost effective recourse for handling defects of this nature on a relatively low cost item.

Seems like a functional unit, only problem with mine it was shipped with a defective battery, other wise its OK.

Easy to use

The taps or buttons on this scorer are too small for my fingers. I must use a finger nail to push the flush buttons down. Buttons needs to be higher. Scorer works great and I am using it.

Works great, mind you the battery that it came with didn't quite make it through the season, they're cheap and easy to replace.I like this as you enter stroke each per hole this will also give you the overal stroke count as you go.one button is used per stroke and one button to move to the next hole, or you can go back to a previous hole and readjust the stroke for that hole if you prefer.Very easy to use and set up. great little counter, you should buy it.John
