Collecting Scorecards

I have been fortunate enough to play some good golf courses and have kept some of my memorable cards. Any ideas of how to store/organize them? I would prefer something than rubber-band in my drawer or shoebox under bed.

TIA

I have ~600 scorecards stacked on the credenza in the corner of my office. If there's a good way, I'd sure like to know.

I guess you could always have a few custom framed, similar to a collage of photos. However, you're only going to be able to display a handful.

I've been thinking about scanning some of them, and then getting a digital picture frame. At least then one could view them with a minimum of surface area required.

There are binders designed to collect score cards in. I have 75+ cards from various cards from GREAT course. I am not really keen on collecting the local $10 muni course, I want NICE courses so when I have friends who go on trips I have them get them for me. I have some great ones too from all over the world. My uncle works in the UAE so I have cards from Dubai and United Emerites. Numerous courses in Ireland and Scotland.

I have 2 courses left on my "Bucket List". Augusta National (I do have 3 yardage books from 2005, 2010, & 2015 Masters) and The Country Club Brookline. While there are some other "I would love to get" those 2 courses are my WANT courses!

How many cards do you want to display? If more than a dozen or so, I think I would get a 24x36 frame and matting, and matte several at a time next to each other. Might be able to fit 8 or 9 cards in there.

The other alternative, which would be cool, would be to scan each one, and have them rotate in a digital photo frame. You can get pretty big frames these days for minimal dollars. This would work great in a man cave. Obviously you could add more than just photos of cards as well. Maybe have a picture of the card, then photos of the course after it.

Where did you get the binders?

Do you just want a scorecard or do you want a scorecard that has your score from playing there? If it's the former, I can get you a card from The Country Club very easily.

They arent much but these are the courses I have played, i recently filled it up so its time to look for another frame. I like the idea of showing at least some layout of the courses I have played. Well at least those that the scorecard shows.

I just scan mine into the computer so I can later email them to friends for a return visit. I was amazed at how simple the St Andrews scorecards were. Totally plain and about the size of a small post card (as of about five years ago).

The problem with binders is that you rarely pull them out an look at them. Anyone who has watched Pawn Stars will know that framing a piece of memorabilia is a very important part of the presentation, as people like to have stuff on their walls. I'd go with a framed collage, or if there are too many of them, a digital photo frame.

That is totally legit and I think the digital frame is a great idea! But I'd also like to store and organize the cards themselves and I think a binder or something similar might be the best option.

Thats a good point.

I collect post cards, and get my supplies from The2Buds. They have binders and sleeves for all types of collectibles.

The basic problem with scorecards is that they have no standard size, so you'll need a variety of pages to store them.

You could arrange them on any table then place a piece of glass or plexi glass over them.
I had about 40 of them under glass on my coffee table for a while,

Happy to send you a scorecard from The Country Club - what card do want? (Choices are: men's main, men's main back tees, ladies main, championship (harder to get, because they're not usually out), primrose). Send me a PM.

You can also probably just swing by the club and get one from the starter if you ask politely.

I bought a big frame at wal-mart (poster size). Using glue just glued them on the cardboard backing. I don't remember the size but the two are big enough to put most of the 100 plus courses I've played. I have 2 made up now with about 20ish cards waiting to be done on the next one.

This is such a great idea. I really wish that I had started doing this long ago. There are so many courses that I probably will not have a chance to play again, and it would be nice to have the scorecards to look back on.
