I do love it, but obviously either the manual assumes you know golf or I'm being a bit slow. Answers on a postcard.
Here's my scorecard from Day 2 of the Pebble Beach Open:

Yes I'm doing shit, languishing in last place due to soon spectacular fails during day one. Hey gimme a break, I haven't played it in 15 years and only practiced 1 hole before starting the Open lol.
Anyway, I've got 2 questions:
How are handicaps worked out and how are they used?
What is the column with the figures in red? I can't find a correlation between them and the par/shots taken, unless it's got to do with handicap as well...?
Thanks in advance for any help! I love this game but I've never liked playing or watching real golf so not up to speed on these coupla points.
Cheers!
