According to an advertisment in the October 1929 issue of Golf Illustrated (NY), The Gofskor device would simply life for every golfer who had one:

"Click'— click; click — click . . . surely, precisely, neatly the Gofskor keeps tabs on your game. Press the stem after each stroke—the totals for the bole and match mount automatically on separate faces of the dial. A touch of one side knob shifts the recording as you progress from hole to hole. No chance for error! . . . Arguments gone! ..And gone too, those mussy scorecards and chewed pencil stubs.

"Your dealer will proudly display for you the smart range of Gofskor models. The selection is complete from Chromium Plate to Platinum—at prices from $12.50 to $125.00. And every one is guaranteed for a year. Why not select one today.  At all high grade jewelry; sport and department stores."

If you missed selecting one of these back in 1928, here's your chance!  Condition as shown in the images, and not sure if it still works or not.
