I nearly always mark the card on the green. Can't see a problem with it. It just depends how you do it, and when. If the person whose card it is has putted out, then as long as it isn't my turn to putt, what is the problem, I am just standing there doing nothing afterall.
If I am marking a card for all 4 guys (swindle card, not serious golf), then someone else can do the pin stuff (removing, replacing, etc), and I will mark the card as the putts drop. As long as I leave the green with everyone else, and have been ready to take my putt when required, so what if I mark the card on the green.

M&S only sell golf gadgets of the useless kind. Dunno why, because they know how to make pretty darn good chicken and stuffing sandwiches. But golf gadgets, noooooooooooo, avoid.
I have the freebie one from Todays Golfer and a cheap Masters one. They are essential especially in the wet and I agree about them getting damp from perspiration in hotter conditions. I tend to keep my strokesaver tucked inside it too so everything is together and dry and secure. Also as my writing looks like a dyslexic spider has crawled across a page at the best of times, it helps for me to have something a bit more solid to write on so that the scores are at least vaguely legible.

I did have one of the cheap Masters ones, probably a Xmas pressie of the like, and alwyas dropped the card out of it cos the clip thing broke, or the pencil got stuck in it, so in the end I gave up and went back to my back pocket. Much easier and simpler, and not really had a problem even in the rain, umbrellars are quite big after all!

A scorecard holder? I've always had one. He's called Phil, and he even fills out the scores for us. The rest of us wouldn't dream of doing it ourselves...

They should make digital scorecards, where after the game you just press send and it goes strait to the committee.End of round, ZAP and it appears on a giant screen for all to see.Hand it in at the end of the round after paying 50p to use it, free use in comps or covered by entry fee.
Doesnt get wet, write with a plastic pen, just like Tesco delivery man does with his home deliveries.
No its not far fetched!

Probably in a better condition than a wet scorecard might.

I bought a really nice one from amazon, it was leather and only £10 which is about what you'd pay for a crappy plastic one from AG.
You also had the option to personalise it for free, why is it that you are able to personalise just about every piece of golf merchandise.
Direct golf have some really quality nike hats and give you the option of your name on the side, not sure I'd like that???

Did anyone see that awful loo seat in the mag. I mean if someone bought you that for christmas, what would be your reaction. 
I mean if I wanted a golf themed loo seat I'd want a better picture than that & I'm sure the motherinlaw could certainly paint a better one for free, albeit at the cost of a seat in the first place....
Either way... not sure I'd want one as a present.
Other things not to buy someone, those multi golf tools... Most of us have at least one already. The Naff DVD with book collection from the cheapie book shop that is going to be yet another re-hash of old footage, we've seen a thousand times before. The electronic ball cleaner... I mean, that's what the naff sponge is for at one tenth the price & quicker. Most golf courses have proper golf ball cleaners at each tee anyway.
I don't mind the golf ball soaps & things like that even if they are naff at least I'll use it.
Those cheap plastic range finders, most peoples eyes can judge the distance better than those things can.
Brush tees... Who actually uses those? I wouldn't thank anyone for a set of those. Certainly worse than castle tees to be seen in the bag any day of the week.
Joke golf balls, as if someone is not going to notice that their ball has been switched for one of those silly things.
