Abstract
A scorecard holder can include an outer jacket foldable about a seam, binding, or hinge. The outer jacket can be movable between a closed position and an open position. In the open position the holder can at least expose at least a portion of the scorecard. The outer jacket can include an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface. At least a portion of the interior surface can be configured to contact the scorecard placed within the outer jacket. When in the open position an outer periphery of the outer jacket can be at least slightly larger than the outer periphery of the scorecard configured to be held within the outer jacket. The scorecard holder can include a flexible shield attached to either i) a top edge of the outer jacket or ii) the seam, binding, or hinge.
