Scorecard: Golf Statistics Software (Mac/Windows)

I've got good news: Scorecard is now available for Windows. The latest version of Scorecard supports Windows and Mac OS X. The same license file and database can be used on both applications.

Scorecard is great for tracking your statistics. You can enter your round in no time, and generate 25+ useful statistics that will help you to improve your golf game. How many fairways do you actually hit? How often do you get up and down? What's the average length of your first putt? Is it worse to miss the fairway right or left? How often do you three-putt after hitting a green in regulation?

And what's best, For a limited time, you can enter the coupon code "SANDTRAP" to save 20%.

Just visit http://cynicalpeak.com/scorecard/ to download and buy your copy today. Enter the coupon code above (no quotes) to take 20% off the price at the time of purchase. If you want to check things out, a free demo is available for both operating systems, but again, the 20% offer is for a limited time.

Once you've bought your copy of Scorecard, add a button to your posts (see this thread for more) to your posts showing off your online scorecards.

I know for a lot of you it's still winter, but again, this is a limited time offer . I'm personally not making money on the Windows version of the app - but I built and designed the Mac version and have been using it quite happily for the past two years. Scorecard generated my online scorecards , and the statistics the app calculates for me have been invaluable in improving my game.

Two years ago I was an eight handicap. Today I'm a 2.7. A lot of the credit belongs to Scorecard.

The iPhone SDK has not yet been made available, but our current plans are exactly along the lines of what you've suggested.

FWIW, I've always just marked my actual scorecard. My markings take only two boxes: First box: Score, drive arrow indicator, # of putts. Second box: SS/G/UD, distance of first putt. But yeah, we plan to offer the iPhone/iPod Touch thing. Right now, we plan to release it as a free update, in fact, but don't hold me to that... It may be a lot more involved than we think. Fairly confident it won't be, though.

Yeah, as Brad said, your handicap is calculated with ESC in place. Your stats are not, though, so feel free to put your 10 in there and you'll be covered both ways: your stats will show an "other" and your handicap score will only be using the 6 or 7 or whatever actually counted.

I will caution some people that this version is effectively the 1.0 release (for Windows), so it may have some lingering bugs. We're committed to being very proactive (and active) about fixing them. I'm glad you like it, and I hope you never have a problem, but if you do don't hesitate to get in touch with us via email -

support@cynicalpeak.com . And by way of your compliments, which I suck at receiving, thank you. The software and concept is "my baby" in a way, and we walk a fine line between asking for a lot of data and calculating even more stats with not making the user spend 20 minutes after every round entering way too much data. I think we found a good balance. And I like the exported scorecards. :)

There's no export function (not yet - export and import are high on the feature list for 2.0), but the data file is stored in one place (with your license file) on Windows and Mac OS X. Copy that one file across and you're all set.

On Mac OS X, it's stored inside the "Scorecard" folder in your "Application Support" folder (which is inside your Library folder, or ~/Library/Application Support/Scorecard/). On Windows, if you type "%AppData%" (without the quotes) into your Windows Explorer location bar, you'll see a "Cynical Peak" folder with a "Scorecard" folder inside of it. Your database and license are inside there.

Indeed, it would be nice. In fact, I thought it did.

I guess we missed that. Again, for any true support questions, please contact us via email at the support address. For general discussion, carrying on here is just fine.

To be clear, the "entire app" isn't coming to the iPhone, just the scorecard entry portion of it. That way you can enter your rounds on the course, and when you get back home, instead of spending 3-5 minutes entering them, just sync the phone.

You'll still need the app.

Probably not... because then people will ask us to keep track of their bets and we'll be straying from the purpose of the application, which in my experience is the fastest way to turn a good or great product into a crappy one (see also: most everything Microsoft makes).

The easier solution: everyone buy their own iPhone.

Very cool, and thanks. Please note that an update (1.2.5) is available for Windows, too, and 1.2.5 for the Mac will ship soon. Oh, and we'll never ship incompatible versions, even if the version numbers themselves vary from time to time.

We've not ruled it out, but none of us have Blackberries and I'm not sure how they synchronize or do anything. It's unlikely at this point, but again, I can't rule it out.
