The notebook is a BIG disappointment.. You can only write in it when you play solo games. If you play games with other players it is worthless. You would think they would allow you to write in it when it is NOT your play turn to keep the game moving. I play a lot of 4 player games and it would be nice to be able to make a note while they are shooting. ALSO, it would be nice to make a note after you take a finish a hole as that is when you will probably have the most to write about that hole.
