Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for golf score registration in a golf score registration system comprising a terminal located in or near a clubhouse and / or a start box at first tee with a console that allows each player to check in to and check out of the system before and after a game of golf, tee boxes located near each tee on the course with a console that allows each player to enter scoring information from the previously completed hole, means for communication between boxes on the course and a central unit, and individual information carriers that each player bring on to the course while playing. Each console has at least two readers-through which it can communicate with the information carriers, and a display indicating the function of respective reader. A first console for the start of a golf game provides the option to play a game with markers for at least a first and second player, and the first console requests information on who is marking each player in said game.
