Abstract
Abstract A portable device for recording golf scores having a rotatableprinting wheel for printing the number of strokes for each hole upon a card. A counting wheel assembly having printing type thereon is actuated by the rotatable-printing wheel for recording the total of nine holes and of eighteen holes. A rotatable connection between the rotatable-printing wheel and the counting wheel assembly permits backward rotation of the printing wheel without moving the counting wheel assembly.
