ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a computer-implemented method and system for selectively scoring and outputting the scores of a plurality of golf participants playing golf on a golf course using a computer system including a main computer. In accordance with the invention, a main computer, one or more remote computers and a communications network are provided. Each remote computer is associated with a hole on the golf course and coupled to the main computer via the communications network. Each remote computer receives a raw score for each golf participant playing the associated hole, calculates a local competition score for the associated hole for each golf participant based on the raw score for the golf participant, and communicates the raw scores to the host computer. Based on the raw scores communicated by each remote computer, the main computer calculates a competition score for each golf participant and communicates the competition scores to each remote computer.
