How the colour matrix works – An example

This example on the 2nd Hole, uses the <140 in the Approach columns of the scorecard, on the far-right side for a 7 to 12 Handicap golfer.

The player hits the ball from inside 140 metres (or yards) to the pin with the ball missing the green and landing inside 20 metres, but off the green.

Because the player missed the green, Pink is displayed, because it was an extremely poor approach stroke.

The player then has another stroke from inside 20 metres (or yards) and lands on the green inside 5 metres. The number 3 is shown in Light Purple because a stroke from inside 20 metres should have arrived on the green inside 2 metres from the flag.

If the ball arrived on the green:

  • Outside 8 metres – Light Purple will be displayed in the less than 20 (<20) approach column, as it was a poor stroke.
  • Inside 8 metres and outside 5 – Light Purple displayed, it was a poor stroke.
  • Inside 5 metres and outside 2 – Light Red displayed, it was a bad stroke.
  • Inside 2 metres and outside 1 – Light Green displayed, it was an acceptable stroke.
  • Inside 1 metre – Light Blue displayed, it was a very good stroke.
  • In the hole – Bright Blue displayed, it was an excellent and unbelievable stroke.

The same principle applies to the other Approach departure points: Up to 40, Up to 80, Up to 140 and over 140 metres (or Yards).
