Abstract
Abstract A booklet having a plurality of pages incorporated therein on which the enlarged depictions of each hole of a golf course appear together with descriptive material relating to the holes with the upper outer corners of each page including a cutout area providing access to and revealing a score recording area along the inner surface of the right-hand marginal portion of the last page of the booklet. The bottom edge of the cutouts are progressively lower from the first hole to the last hole of the golf course and the bottom edge of the cutout provides a guideline in relation to the score recording area so that the spaces for the score for the holes depicted on the pages would be immediately above the bottom edge of the cutout on that page. Also, the cutouts reveal the actual score descending from the first hole as play progresses around the golf course.
