Background: Golf Scorecard is a .NET MAUI-based application designed to streamline the process of recording and calculating golf scores. Inspired by the need for an efficient and easy-to-use digital alternative to traditional paper scorecards, this app aims to provide golfers with a reliable tool for tracking their performance across multiple rounds and holes.
Motivation: In golfing, maintaining an accurate scorecard is crucial for analysing performance, tracking progress, and competing effectively. Traditional scorecards are often prone to errors and can be cumbersome to handle, especially during a round. This project was initiated to create a user-friendly digital scorecard that enhances the golfing experience by providing an intuitive interface for recording scores, calculating totals, and managing user authentication for a personalised experience.
