Improvements in or relating to Pocket Time Tables, Diaries, and
the like.
I, ROBERT SANDEMAN BARRIE, of 16 Panmure Street, and 73 Murraygate,.
Dundee, in the County of Forfar, North Britain, Printer and Publisher, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to combine with "A. B. C.," or other pocket time.
tables, diaries, and the like, improved scoring columns for the use and convenience
of those persons who may play golf.
It is usual to have as a component part of pocket time tables, diaries and the
like, pages, on which notes and memoranda may be jotted, cach page or part of a
page being marked with the name and the date of the day which the said page is:
set apart for; and it may also have upon it other printed matter. For example,
the first page for memoranda of an "A. B. C." diary and time table published
by me for the month of October 1890, has Wednesday 1st October 1890, and the
following page has Thursday 2nd October 1890, printed upon it, and so forth.
The other printed matter upon cach page gives the time of sunrise and sunset, when
moon rises, and the high water at Dundee, both morning and evening.
In carrying out my invention according to one modification, I place the improved
golf scoring columns down the one side of each of the hereinbefore described
pages.
According to other modifications I may place the scoring columns across the
pages, or in any other suitable place or position.
The score consists of three columns, the first column to the left, having the.
capital letter "H." for a heading, gives the holes from 1. to 9. with a blank cross
column between Nos. 9. and 10.; and then from 10. to 18., and immediately
under. 18. the capital letter "T." to represent the word "total." The second
column has printed on the top for a heading the word "Self" and the third column.
is left blank. At the bottom of the three columns is another cross column
with "H. up." printed at its left hand end.
Although I have described one kind of score yet I do not confine myself
exclusively to it, but may modify same should I think fit.
Dated this 31st day of October 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Pocket Time Tables, Diaries, and
the like.
I, ROBERT SANDEMAN BARRIE, of 16 Panmure Street, and 73 Murraygate,
Dundee, in the County of Forfar, North Britain, Printer and Publisher, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of this invention is to combine with "A. B. C.," or other pocket time
tables, diaries, and the like, improved scoring columns for the use and convenience
of those persons who may play golf.
The accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings illustrates the method of
carrying out my invention, according to one modification.

page_text: It is usual to have as a component part of pocket time tables, diaries and the
like, pages, on which notes and memoranda may be jotted, each page or part of a
page being marked with the name and the date of the day which the said page is
set apart for; and it may also have upon it other printed matter. For example,
the first page for memoranda of an "A. B. C." diary and time table published by
me for the month of October 1890, has Wednesday 1st October 1890, and the
following page has Thursday 2nd October 1890, printed upon it, and so forth.
The other printed matter upon each page gives the time of sunrise and sunset, when
moon rises, and the high water at Dundee, both morning and evening, as shown on
the drawing.
In carrying out my invention according to one modification, I place the improved
golf scoring columns down the one side of each of the hereinbefore described
pages.
According to other modifications I may place the scoring columns across the
pages, or in any other suitable place or position.
The score consists of three columns, the first column to the left, having the
capital letter "H," for a heading, gives the holes from 1. to 9. with a blank cross
column between Nos. 9. and 10., and then from 10. to 18., and immediately
under 18. the capital letter "T." to represent the word "total."
The second
column has printed on the top for a heading the word "Self" and the third column
is left blank. At the bottom of the three columns is another cross column
with "H. up." printed at its left hand end.
The scoring columns are used in the following manner by golfers
The golf course is supposed to be laid out in the usual manner, that is to say
with nine holes into which the ball is to be played in the one direction, and nine in
the other the scoring columns being suitable for the above or a lesser number of
holes.
As shown on the page dated 1st October the first hole was taken with 5. strokes
by "self" and 4. by his opponent, the second with 4. by "self" and 5. by opponent
and so on; the number of strokes required to get the golf ball into each hole being
duly noted, each in its correct position and opposite the number of the hole. At
the conclusion of the game, the total number of strokes required to place the ball
in the various holes are summed up; in this case 76. to "self" and 80. to his
opponent.
If the game be reckoned by holes, and not by strokes, the "Holes up" would
be 2.
Although I have described one kind of score yet I do not confine myself
exclusively to it, but may modify same should I think fit.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
-
(1) The combination of golf scoring columns, with "A. B. C." or other pocket
time tables and diaries, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth,
together with any mere modification or modifications thereof.
(2) The combination of golf scoring columns with memoranda pages incorporated
with A. B. C." or other pocket time tables and diaries, substantially as and for
the purposes herein set forth, together with any mere modification or modifications
thereof.
