I believe you are totally covered by input() and open(). I suggest you to
write data like a csv inside golf.txt to make it easier for write and read,
like that:

name,score
bob donovan,50
mike smith,43
ana lyn,39

Well, it would be better if you provided your old script and error
traceback, so we can see what you were thinking. Anyway, a good start would
be to first create the logic to keep getting data from user input until the
user tell you "I'm done", after you got it done you can go and start
thinking about writing to file. To tell you the truth that's a quite easy
script to do, I won't be posting the code here already because it would
make no sense. Hope you got the general idea and can start your code.
