How is it being used in context? Do you have an example sentence or two?

Oh, yes. What I read was "Golfer A is carding pars and steady bogeys." And, "In the end, golfer A had carded a thirteen to golfer B's four."
Actually, apart from "card", I don't understand what "steady" means here, either. Is it a verb or adjective? And what's "carded a thirteen to"? :? |

Being as I am totally uninitiated in golf, I’m not qualified to decipher such specialised terminology. Yet, according to the following definitions, the word ‘card’ here seems to be used as a verb for ‘score’: Golfer A is scoring pars...
card – n. (golf) a record of scores (as in golf); "you have to turn in your card to get a handicap"
score·card - n. a small card used to record one's own performance in sports such as golf.
Steady (stable, even, unchanging) is used as an adjective here.

As I understand it:
In the end, golfer A had scored a thirteen as compared to golfer B's four."
I can't be more specific, I'm afraid. |
