This module consists of 3 displays, the top for your answer and the bottom two for information about the 9 holes played. Use the arrow buttons at the bottom to change the hole you would like to view. There’s also a wind direction in the top-left which can be in one of 16 different directions, a submit button to submit your final score and number buttons to input the score. Note: There is no backspace button, so be careful.
To calculate the score on each hole, you first need to calculate the Par scores on each hole. This can be done by taking the value you get from the table on the left modulo 4, then adding 4. Once you have the score for each hole, use the table on the right to get the score for the hole based on the Par score.
