How else are you supposed to keep score? Half the time there's a few spares sitting in the golf cart.

Last mini golf place i went to wanted me to download an app to track my scores... My wife had a pen and paper, so we made our own
I love this.
Relevant XKCD:
This is one of those TIL's were im trying to figure out if its a joke or what. They provide them for you at many mini golf places.
I phrased it to read as a joke at a glance, but it's genuine! I've never gotten into any form of golf.
How is it surprising in any way?
"TIL that most grocery stores sell or even give you a packaging bag you can pack your shopping into."
Because small.
Sooo.. never been to an Ikea either, I take it?
Do they give snack-sized bags to put shopping into?
The bags you get are actually huge as. Yellow for the ones to use inside the store, blue for ones you can own.
But the reason I asked should be pretty clear, given the topic.
Oh! I mistook it as a continuation of the general store example, as I haven't been to a physical IKEA store (there aren't any all that nearby).
Today I'm learning many little things! (Some stuff going on so between here and watching Attenborough documentaries.)
Surely some golfers have very large pencils
It's not about the size of the pencil...
... it's about the size of the balls.
Balls should be standard sized and cutely dimpled.
I think it's more about how the golfer swings their club.
Indeed, but the ones who do probably don't see much need to boast about it.
You never been to a mini golf place either?
If I have it was so long ago I completely forgot, or may have been too young to remember.
Most of them don't have erasers, though. I have several in my bag
You should give them their erasers back mate
Yeah I've never been able to afford to go to a course that gives you pencils with erasers. That's some 1% luxury.
I know these are all playing off the original comments joke of needing erasures in his bag, but for the sake of the newbie golfers, the pencils don't have erasures to prevent score changing without initializing. If you play for money with friends or in amateur tournaments, when you have to make a score correction after it's written down, you should have your cart buddy initial it. Noone wants to pay someone on a scorecard with erased scores on it lol.
"I know you're interviewing John Boehner later. You should know that he has very tiny hands, so..."
"Let him hold a miniature golf scoring pencil to make them look normal, obviously."
I found the real trick to bring good at golf is to simply not keep a scorecard, so you can just lie and say you got a hole in one on all 18 holes. 😌
Typically the club provides them for free
Which clubs provide them? Like the putters or...?
The woods, clearly
Lol
Not really "may" I think you would be hard pressed to find a golf course that didn't provide you with a pencil and score card
