Thanks for the clarification, Kev. Ok, thought it more straightforward to
just use your Table 1 (the one with the correct shot allowances) as a
reference source, and revise the earlier formula in D6 to read the figures
direct from Table 1 instead, via an INDEX(...,MATCH(...),MATCH(...)).

Here's the revised sample file: http://www.savefile.com/files/7533806
File: GolfScoreCard_kevhatch_newusers_2.xls

The revised construct hence reads as:

Put in D6:
=IF(C6="",0,C6-INDEX(Chk!$A:$S,MATCH($B6,Chk!$A:$A,0),MATCH(C$4,Chk!$A$5:$S$
5,0)))

(revised formula in D6, Table 1 is in sheet: Chk)

Put in E6:
=IF(D6=0,0,IF(OR(C$3-D6<-1,C$3-D6>3),0,VLOOKUP(C$3-D6,{-1,1;0,2;1,3;2,4;3,5}
,2)))

(no change to formula in E6)

Select D6:E6 and copy / paste to G6:H6, J6:K6, M6:N6, P6:Q6, S6:T6, V6:W6,
Y6:Z6, AB6:AC6

Then just select D6:AD6 and fill down as many rows as required (Erase all
the dummy scores in row 6 first)
