Ha.  I would literally never work with anyone who ever uses a global variable in C++, ever.  A static class member?  When absolutely needed, but a true global?  Learn how to code!

On this point to the OP, doing anything GUI fully in C++ is a HUGE pain in the ass.  If you're just trying to learn how to code and will just do some sort of hack like storing your data in and accessing it from some tab delimited text file or something and run the thing in the terminal and only get text output, then sure, C++ is an incredibly powerful language and being forced to learn memory management and a little about what's actually going on in memory from learning to use pointers and whatnot is very useful.  But if you really want to make a nice GUI scorecard app, just a warning that it'll be much more of a pain in the butt if you work exclusively in C++ than if you did it in something like objective C, C#, Visual C++, Java, or even Perl or Python.  Not impossible mind you, just a pain.

If you have multiple rounds at the same course the ability to track your scoring average for each hole, par 3s, 4s and 5s for that particular course would be a nice addition.

Chart My Golf does this really well.
