    ADD GAME RECORD
    ───────────────
    Select this option when you wish to add a new Game Record to the
database.  If you have more than one Golfer in the database you will
first be required to select the Golfer from a "PickList" by moving the
Arrow Keys (UpArrow and DownArrow) causing the bar to HiLight the
correct Golfer, then you press <Enter> to select that Golfer.  Next,
if you have more than one Course Record in the database, you will be
asked to select a Course from the "PickList" using the same method
that you used when selecting the Golfer.  If you only have one Golfer
and Course in the database, you will go directly to the screen where
all the information needed by GolfClub will be entered.  You really
should bring your score card home with you to be assured of entering
the requested information correctly.

     (DATE)

    The 1st prompt will ask you for the date the game was played.  If
you are entering the information on the same day that the game was
played, just press <Enter> and the current date will be entered for you.
If you need to enter a different date, you must enter the date using
the date format you selected when setting up GolfClub for the 1st time.
The two formats are "MM-DD-YYYY" or "DD-MM-YYYY" with "MM" being the
month, "DD" being the day and "YYYY" being the year.  If the month is
from Jan. - Sep (01 - 09) then you must enter a zero "0" as the first
digit.  If the day is from the 1st - 9th (01 - 09) then you must also
enter a zero "0" as the first digit here also.  Entering a Month larger
than 12 or a Day larger than 31 will not be accepted.  If you attempt
to enter a Month or Day smaller than 10 in the first space, it will
automatically place a zero "0" there and jump to the second space.  The
Year must be entered using all four digits as in 1994.

     (PARTNERS)

    The next prompt will ask you for the name(s) of your playing
partners for the game being entered.  If you played alone, press
<Enter> without typing anything here and this prompt will be skipped.
When entering the names here, remember that this field is limited to
30 spaces so it might be best if you only enter the first names when
entering more than 2 or 3 playing partners.

     (HOLES PLAYED)

    Here you enter the number of holes you played for this game. Only 2
figures will be accepted here; either 9 or 18.  If you enter 9 then you
will be asked if you played the front side (Holes 1-9) or the back side
(holes 10-18).  If the game is a 9 hole game, GolfClub will automatically
select the score box for the front 9 or the back 9 depending on the side
you indicated.  If you entered 18, then GolfClub will display the score
box for the entire 18 holes of the Course selected earlier.

     (SCORES)

    The score box will show the Hole # and the Par for each hole on the
course.  When entering scores here, you MUST NOT use the Arrow Keys
(LeftArrow & RightArrow) to skip from box to box.  Simply enter the score
for the hole then press the <Enter> Key to go to the next hole.  If you
are a registered user of GolfClub AND you have an established Handicap
Index AND you have indicated that you want to use the "Equitable Stroke
Control" (ESC) rule, GolfClub will check each score as you enter it to see
that it fits within the range of the ESC rule.  If it's greater than the
limit allowed, GolfClub will advise you and adjust the score accordingly.
The maximum score for any hole is 25.  The minimum score for any hole
is 1.  If you wish to stop before completing the Game Record, you may
press the <F10> Key then press the <Enter> Key and you will be returned
to the Main Menu.  The record will not be saved if you use this means to
exit early.

    After entering the scores for the first 9 holes, the 9 hole total
score will be posted.  If it's under the minimum score allowed by the
U.S.G.A. or over the maximum score allowed by the U.S.G.A. GolfClub will
advise you and adjust the score accordingly.  The minimum score allowed
for handicapping purposes is 27.  The maximum score allowed depends on
the Golfer's age and sex.  GolfClub knows the age and sex of each Golfer
along with the U.S.G.A. limits and will make all the necessary adjust-
ments as needed.

     (GREENS)

    Greens hit in regulation are based on each hole as follows:

           Hole Par         Strokes to reach Green
           --------         ----------------------
           Par 3 ........... 1 (Hit from Tee Box)
           Par 4 ........... 2 (Hit on 2rd shot)
           Par 5 ........... 3 (Hit on 3rd shot)

NOTE - Hitting greens on Par 4 holes on the first shot and Par 5 holes on
the second shot are still considered hitting the green in regulation.

     (TOTAL PUTTS)

    Enter the total number of Putts required to complete the game. This
figure will be used when computing a Golfer's Putting average.

     (FAIRWAYS HIT)

    Hitting a fairway in regulation means that your ball lands IN the
Fairway on the FIRST shot off the Tee.  Par 3 holes are NOT included in
Fairways hit.  If you miss the Green on a par 3 hole and your ball lands
in the Fairway, it's considered a Green missed and NOT a Fairway hit.

    Looking at the percent of Fairways hit at the Summary Screen will
give a good indication of how accurate a Golfer is with the Driver.

     (SAND SAVES)

    Sand Saves Attempted means the number of times you were in a green
side sand trap.  Sand traps alongside Fairways (also called "Fairway
bunkers") are NOT to be used when entering the number of sand saves
attempted.  If you attempted no sand saves, press <Enter> here without
typing a number and you will be moved to the next prompt.

    Sand Saves Made are the number of times you save Par after being in
a green side sand trap.  If you do not make Par on the hole where you
were in a green side sand trap, then do not enter anything.  You may
skip this prompt by pressing <Enter> without entering a number.

    Looking at the percent of Sand Saves attempted/made at the Summary
Screen will give a Golfer an indication of how well he/she uses sand
wedges and whether or not this would be a part of his/her game the Golfer
needs to work on.

     (SAVE - STARTOVER - QUIT)

    After completing all the above information, you will be asked to
<S>ave the record, Start<O>ver or <Q>uit without saving.  Select one
of these options and press the appropriate letter on your keyboard.
Pressing "S" here will cause the record to be saved in the database
and will allow it to be called up for review at any time along with all
information recorded being included in the Summary for the Golfer.

the last name and it needs to know how to recognize it as being a
legitimate last name or first name.

     (SEX)

    GolfClub needs to know the sex of each Golfer so proper handicap
figures can be established.  Also, the U.S.G.A. has established minimum
and maximum allowable scores based on both sex and age.  You will be re-
quired to enter either "M" or "F" at this prompt.  It doesn't matter if
you type it lower case or upper case ("m" or "F"), GolfClub will know the
difference and adjust accordingly.

     (AGE)

    GolfClub needs to know the age of each Golfer so proper handicap
figures can be established.  Also, the U.S.G.A. has established minimum
and maximum allowable scores based on both sex and age.  You will be re-
quired to enter an age here that is over 4 and under 100.

     (ADDRESS)

    Enter here the address (street or P.O. box) of the Golfer.  Do not
exceed the field length indicated by the dark spaces or you will be re-
quired to complete the prompt again.

     (CITY) (STATE) (ZIP CODE)

    Enter here the city where the Golfer resides, the two letter postal
code for the state and the ZIP code.

     (HOME PHONE and WORK PHONE)

then the work or office phone.  Either of these numbers could also be a
car phone if desired.

     (HANDICAP INDEX)

be entered at this prompt.  If the Golfer does not have an established
Handicap Index or it is not known, enter a zero "0" and press <Enter>

     (SAVE - STARTOVER - QUIT)

    After completing all the above information, you will be asked if
you want to <S>ave the record, Start<O>ver or <Q>uit without saving.

required to enter it again.  A Course Record is saved in the database
and is available each time a new Game Record is entered or the Course
Record is selected for editing or display.  You MUST have at least one
Course Record saved in the database before a Game Record can be entered.

     (COURSE NAME)

    Enter here the name of the Course or Club.  This field is limited
to 20 characters so abbreviations may be necessary such as "Riverlawn
CC" rather than "Riverlawn Country Club."

     (CITY and STATE)

    Enter here the name of the city/town where the course is located.
Press <Enter> after entering the city and type the standard 2 letter
Postal abbreviation for the state.

     (COURSE TYPE)

    If your course is one where you have only 9 holes and DO NOT have
provisions for playing it as an 18 hole course (such as 2 Tee boxes for
each hole) then press "Y" here.  If your course is an 18 hole course (or
a 9 hole course with 2 Tee boxes for each hole) press "N" here.

     (COURSE PAR)

    You will next be asked to enter the Par for the front 9 (1-9)
then the Par for the back 9 (10-18).  After doing this GolfClub will
display the Course Par.  If your course is a true 9 hole course, you
must enter the Par figure at the required prompt.

     (HOLE PARS)

    Next you will be required to enter the Par value for each hole on
the course.  After completing this requirement, GolfClub will check to
be sure the front side Par value and the back side Par value matches
the total of the individual holes just entered. If the figures do not
match, GolfClub will display a message box advising you which of the
sides do not match the Par value indicated at the top of the screen.

NOTE - GolfClub does not accept Hole Par values of less than 3 or more
than 5.  Acceptable Par values are 3, 4, and 5.

     (SLOPE and RATING)

    If your course is an approved U.S.G.A. course, it will have both a
"Slope" and "Rating" assigned to it.  The Course Pro/Manager should be
able to make both of these figures available to you.  Many courses have
this information printed on the scorecard.  If you have these figures
then enter them at the next 2 prompts.  The Slope is entered first.
Pressing <Enter> here without typing a number will cause GolfClub to
assign a default value of 135 as the Slope for the course.  The next
prompt will ask for the Rating of the course.  Either enter the known
rating of the Course or press <Enter> for the default value of 70.5

    (CLUB PRO and TELEPHONE)

    The last 2 prompts ask you for the name of the club Pro/Manager and
the telephone number.  If this information is not known, press <Enter>
to skip either or both of these prompts.

TIP - Having the telephone number entered here will be handy in case
you forget it and need to call for an advance "Tee time."

     (SAVE - STARTOVER - QUIT)

    After completing all the above information, you will be asked if
you want to <S>ave the record, Start<O>ver or <Q>uit without saving.

The color change is done "on the fly" and the user can see the results
after leaving the "PickList."  The color change will remain as the
default until changed by the user.

    A formula similar to the one used by the U.S.G.A. and the R.C.G.A.
is used for the computations and provides similar results.  A Golfer
must have a minimum of five (5) Game Records (18 hole games) in the
database before a Handicap Index can be determined.  GolfClub checks
the individual Golfer's Game Records and if he/she has at least five
valid (18 hole) Game Records then the Index is calculated.

         18-Hole       Differentials
          Games        to be used
          ~~~~~        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            5            1 Lowest round
           6-7           2 Lowest rounds
           8-9           3 Lowest rounds
          10-11          4 Lowest rounds
          12-13          5 Lowest rounds
          14-15          6 Lowest rounds
          16-17          7 Lowest rounds
           18            8 Lowest rounds
           19            9 Lowest rounds
           20+           10 Lowest rounds from last 20 rounds

 The user will first be asked to select a Golfer Record from the
"PickList".  If only one Golfer is in the database, this selection
does not have to be made.

NOTE - The Handicap Index determined by GolfClub is not to be used as a
Golfer's "official" Handicap Index when entering Tournaments where play-
ers are flighted based on their Handicap.  An "official" Handicap Index
can only be obtained from the U.S.G.A. (through your local P.G.A. Pro-
fessional) or the Royal Canadian Golf Association.  Handicap Index's
coming from the U.S.G.A. (or local State affiliate) may take weeks to
reach you.  With GolfClub, a Golfers Handicap Index can be seen after
each Game Record is entered.  This allows each Golfer to know what
his/her current Handicap Index is at any time.

[6/3]
    A Golfer's Course Handicap is commonly referred to as his/her
"handicap."  It's determined using the Golfer's current Handicap Index
and the Slope value of the Course being played.  The course Pro or
Club Manager should be able to explain the method used to determine a
Course Handicap when you're playing a course that you've never played
before and don't have the course recorded in the GolfClub database.

NOTE - A Golfer's Course Handicap will be expressed as a whole number
like 4, 9, 16, etc. while their Handicap Index is most often (but
not always) shown with a decimal as in 3.6 or 11.7, etc.


~~~
[6/5]
    Use this option to quickly figure a Course Handicap for a Golfer
    who is not in the database.  This would most often be used when
    someone who is not already in the database wants to know his/her
    Handicap for the course being played.

    First you must enter the Slope value of the Course (90 - 160).

    Next indicate whether the Golfer is Male or Female by pressing
    <M> for male or <F> for female.

    Lastly you must enter the Golfer's Handicap Index.  For Men this
    must be a value between 1 and 36.4  For Women this must be a value
    between 1 and 40.4

    If a Golfer has a Handicap Index of 0 then the Course Handicap
    would also be 0

    Selecting this option will print a listing with all Golfers
in the database ranked according to their current Handicap Index.
A zero (0) is the best Handicap Index.  Any Golfer(s) having a "0"
Handicap Index will be ranked first.  In the event 2 or more Golfers
have identical Handicap Index values, they will be shown as "tied"
with the same rank number.  The Golfer ranked at the top of a tie
indicates the Golfer was entered into the database before the other
Golfer(s) with the same rank.

    This requires at least two (2) Golfer Records to be in the
database and they must have an established Handicap Index.  You should
also have your printer turned ON and loaded with an adequate supply of
paper.

    A typical Listing looks like the following:

 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 Rank  -- Golfer                                 Index   Note

                   Recent changes/additions to GolfClub

    1.. GolfClub now automatically updates the Handicap Index when a
        Game is added to the database (provided the Golfer has 5 or
        more 18-hole games on record).  This option is available only
        in the registered version.

        NOTE - GolfClub also automatically recalculates the Handicap
               Index when a Game Record is deleted and also when a
               Game Record is edited and the score of the edited game
               is different from the original score.

    2.. Found and fixed a bug that caused some computers to lock
        after displaying the Scoring Efficiency screen.

                         Miscellaneous  Tips

1.. Using the Mouse:  Using the Mouse is easy when in GolfClub. Most
    all standard Mouse procedures apply.  To select an option at any
    of the TopMenu Bar selections just move the Mouse pointer to the
    selection desired and tap the LEFT Mouse button. This will cause
    a "PullDown Box" to appear.  To select an option from one of the
    "PullDown Boxes", move the pointer to the desired option and tap
    the LEFT Mouse button.  The Mouse pointer will appear as a small
    vertical rectangle "█".

2.. Deleting Records:  When deleting Game Records, if there's 2 or more
    Golfers in the database, the user must first select the Golfer
    whose Game Record is to be deleted.  After selecting the Golfer
    from the "PickList" (HiLight the name and press <Enter>), the
    user will be shown another "PickList" with all of the selected
    Golfer's games.  Move the HiLight bar to the game to be deleted
    and press <Enter> to remove the Game Record from the database.
    When deleting Golfer and Course Records, the user will only need
    to select the Golfer or Course and press <Enter>.  See Tip #4

3.. PickList selections:  A "PickList" is a box in the upper left
    corner of the screen showing a list of Golfer, Game, or Course
    Records currently in the database.  To select an item in a "Pick-
    List", use either the Mouse pointer or Arrow Keys () to HiLight
    the record of choice.  Users without a Mouse must press <Enter>
    after moving the HiLight bar; Mouse users only need to move the
    pointer to the selected record and tap the LEFT Mouse button.
    To leave a "PickList" without making a selection, hit <Escape> or
    move the Mouse pointer to the small rectangular dot in the upper
    left corner of the "PickList" box and tap the LEFT Mouse button.

    A typical "PickList" display box:

       ┌──────────────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap LEFT
                            Mouse button to exit a "PickList"
    ╓─┤■├───────────────╖
    ║ Choice One        ║    Other available keys are PageUp, PageDown,
    ║ Choice Two        ║    Home, End, DownArrow () and UpArrow (),
    ║ Choice Three      ║    and <Escape> to exit.
    ║▓Choice Four▓▓▓▓▓▓ ║ <─ HiLight Bar
    ║ Choice Five       ║
    ║ Choice Six        ║    Non-Mouse users can use the ArrowKeys ()
    ║ Choice Seven      ║    to move the HiLight bar to the desired
    ║ etc...            ║    choice and <Enter> to select or <Escape>.
    ╙─────────────────╜
            └┴─────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap LEFT
                          Mouse button to scroll the listing.

    A typical OnLine Help screen:

       ┌────────────────────────── Place Mouse pointer here and tap the
       │                           LEFT Mouse button to exit.
       
    ┌─┤■├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │                                                                 │
    │   Help text shown here......................................    │
    │ ............................................................    │
    /                                                                 /
    │ ............................................................    │
    │                                                                 │
    ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
    └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
                          Place Mouse pointer here and tap  ─────────┴┘
                          LEFT Mouse button to scroll Up/Down

4.. To exit any OnLine Help screen without using a Mouse is easy too.
    Press <F1> or <Escape> and you'll be returned to the Menu.
    Mouse users can also place the Mouse pointer directly on the
    small rectangular dot in the upper left corner and tap the LEFT
    Mouse button to exit the help screen.

5.. When at a screen where the user is offered choices such as <S>ave,
    <P>rint, Start<O>ver, etc, the Mouse user can place the pointer on
    the letter between the "< >" and tap the LEFT Mouse button to make
    that selection.  The non-Mouse user must press the letter Key that
    corresponds to the option of choice.

    Example:  <S>ave  <P>rint  Start<O>ver  <Q>uit  <Y>es  <N>o
               
               └┴┴┴┴─── Place Mouse pointer here and tap the LEFT
                        Mouse button to make the "Save" selection.

6.. Using the menu:  The GolfClub menu is made up of two different types.
    The first is the bar across the top of the screen and is commonly
    referred to as the "TopMenu Bar."  The second is a "PullDown Box"
    and only appears when one of the items in the TopMenu bar has been
    selected.  To exit a "PullDown Box", press <Escape>.  To exit
    the TopMenu bar, select the "QUIT" option at the far right side of
    the TopMenu bar.  When the "PullDown Box" appears, select "Yes."
    The "Quit" option is also offered in the "PullDown Box" under
    the "FILE" heading on the TopMenu bar.  The non-Mouse user can press
    the <Alt> Key to cause the "PullDown Boxes" to appear.  Mouse users
    can place the Mouse pointer on the desired option and tap the LEFT
    Mouse button.
