I’ve got a form to input the 18 hole Gross Scores but it looks cumbersome
I would really like to have a more concise look and feel for the user. Am I going into the realm of CSS to produce something like this
Have a play around with the new Collection Table (you need to enable it via the Settings section on your Glide dashboard).
But yes, to get something like that will probably require the use of CSS at some stage.
Just to give you an idea, I have a Golf App that was originally built as a legacy classic App. With a bit of CSS, I was able to get a scorecard that looks like this.
I’m currently rebuilding the App, here is an example of a leaderboard using the new table style:
I haven’t tackled scorecards in the new version yet.

Looks classy Darren
One thing you should consider is how you expect scores to be entered. That is, will players use the App on the course and enter scores hole by hole, or will they enter the whole round afterwards?
If they will be entering hole by hole in real time, then what you will want to do is create a row at the start - perhaps with a form - and then edit that same row to add the scores for each hole. That of course assumes that you have a whole round for a single player in a single row, with separate columns for each hole score.
It’s worth putting a bit of thought into how best to arrange your data before doing too much work on the user interface. Because in many ways, how you arrange your data will determine the options you have when it comes to designing the interface.

It will be after the round. I have a spreadsheet doing this manually myself currently. Painful to say the least. I’ve always enjoyed coding but this is getting beyond me as I’m new to CSS. The Javascript is excellent and opens up new options for me. I’m on a free version also but I might move to the paid version to keep learning as this is really cool.
If there are specific things you need help with when it comes to CSS, submit a request here.
There are a handful of community contributors that maintain that library, and you’ll usually get somebody providing a solution pretty quickly - within a day or two.
For other Glide related stuff - data editor logic, etc - feel free to ask here and we’ll do our best to help.
Oh, and one more thing:
Be careful to select the correct plan - pay particular attention to user counts and the distinction between personal and business users. For this project, I’d guess that the Maker plan is probably the right one.
