Golf scorecard holder

Abstract

The present invention is a flexible golf scorecard holder that includes a center foldline to separate the scorecard holder into similarly sized front and back panels, with the front panel completely covering the back panel. The back panel has an interior transparent sleeve allowing access from two opposite ends at all times. The sleeve is adapted to hold one half of a golf scorecard while allowing the other half to be folded on top of the transparent sleeve, providing access to the exposed portion of the golf scorecard for scorekeeping. Therefore, one-half of the golf scorecard is protected by the transparent sleeve, with the exposed half of the scorecard protected when the front panel of the holder is folded over the back panel.
