Is this really that hard? For the purposes of your round, be it tournament, match, for beers or bragging rights, you record what you make. 4, 8, 12 or whatnot. I shoot 24 for 3 holes.
To enter that score for the purpose of establishing a handicap, you use ESC and cut off the scores depending on your handicap. I'm 12, so 4,7,7. That's 18 ESC.

In the real world, I usually finish holes. But if I'm holding things up, sure. I pick it up and call it a "computer 7". Can't do it in a tourney, but a casual round, yeah.

Just thought of an example. Few years ago, I was 1 over on the 17th tee. Par 5. I took an 11. Birdied 18.
So. I shot 78. I told people I shot 78. But for handicap, ESC means it went in as 74.

It's not that it is hard. I think we are just trying to figure out if it is an accurate representation of you as a player.
