The unit computes the handicap of a golfer from information corresponding to golf score and course rating entered on a punchcard. The machine performs its function by reading the information stored on the card and by using solid-state and electro mechanical devices to derive the handicap defined by the United States Golf Association. This handicap may then be permanently recorded on the punchcard and may additionally actuate a display panel. One embodiment of the invention provides the handicap by direct computation, while a second embodiment establishes the handicap by comparison with a memory table. Each arrangement, however, affords the advantages of almost instant computation, and with equal accuracy to that obtainable through pencil and paper computation.
