Golf Scores Workbook Overview

Enter your golf scores in this Excel workbook, for each round of golf that you play during the year.

Enter your golf scores

Microsoft Excel will calculate the totals for front 9 and back 9 holes, and the total score. Then, based on your handicap, a net score is calculated.

On the Summary sheet, your overall results for the year are shown.

The Summary worksheet is protected, with no password, to prevent the formulas on this spreadsheet from being accidentally deleted.

The first step is to enter the par for each hole in your golf course, on the Summary sheet.

Enter Your Scores

After each round of golf, enter the date, and your score for each hole, in the light green cells.

Enter Your Scores

The worksheet has conditional formatting, so the cells might change colour, if the scores are par, or below par:

pars will be coloured orange,
scores below par are bright green.

The Scores sheet has an Excel table with a few rows, and it will expand automatically when you start a new row.

How It Works

There's one named range in the workbook -- CoursePar.

The CoursePar range is cell B8 on the Summary Sheet.

To see the name, go to the Formulas tab on the Excel Ribbon, and click the Name Manager command.

Conditional Formatting for Scores

The CoursePar named range is used in the conditional formatting on the Scores worksheet.

1) For cells equal to zero, there is no formatting applied
2) Cells that are equal to the course par score (on the Summary sheet), are coloured orange
2) Cells that are below the course par score (on the Summary sheet), are coloured bright green

OFFSET Formula Checks Hole Par

For Rules 2 and 3, the OFFSET function returns the course par for the applicable hole.

first hole score in cell B4

Here is the formula that checks if the score in cell B4 is equal to the hole's par:

=B4=OFFSET(CoursePar,0,COLUMN()-1)

To find the course par, the OFFSET function:

starts at the named range, CoursePar -- cell B8 on the Scores sheet
moves down zero rows
moves to the right, based on the first hole column on the Scores sheet (column 2), minus 1

So, for the first hole, the OFFSET function returns the par score that is 1 column to the right of the named range, CoursePar (column 2, minus 1) -- cell C8
