The Carl Spackler Open is scored on smartphones and live, however allows paper scorecard in rare circumstances.

Greg Garrett will be managing 7,000 scores for a lot of golfers. PLEASE CONSIDER THE SCORING TEAM ON YOUR VACATION. Paper scorecards with Mike, Jay, or J.D. are the opposite of clarity. Do not chicken scratch or circle birdies.  

Paper scorecards should have a clear unique name, 18 clearly written numbers, and circled scores to indicate holes with long putt made. Turn in both scorecards when totals are identical.

1. Comfort. Carry small cell phones in your pocket or find a traditional space in the golf cart.

2. Battery Charge. Come to the golf course with full charge.

3. Share. Multiple golfers in your foursome can share the job and cell phone batteries die.

4. Integrity. Do not score birdies to grab attention with plans to change it later. Long-term integrity is paramount.
