2.Tally the scores for a round. This is where you record
the golfers putts and scores for a round. You also tell
PC-GOLF whether a round is for handicapping, performance
or just for practice. You see gross scores, the adjusted
gross score, putts and strokes displayed here.
To tally scores you need the players scorecard for the round.
Of course, the player must already be in the players roster and the
player must have been assigned a home course.
Tallying putts and scores means adding the putts and gross scores
you have made on each hole at your home course to the players data
bank. Keeping track of a player's putts and scores for a sizable
number of rounds is an important feature of PC-GOLF. The players
data bank will hold a player's scores and putts for several hundred
rounds. The number of rounds to be added or kept in the player's data
bank is up to you. You are the best judge of when to erase scores and
putts from the data bank and make a fresh start. PC-GOLF gives you
control over the contents of the player's data bank. It is up to you
whether or not to include the gross scores from any round in the
player's data bank. The player's data bank is used to prepare the
hole-by-hole performance you see in the player's score sheets.
After you ENTER the players gross scores, PC-GOLF computes
the adjusted gross scores according to USGA rules, as follows:
HANDICAP LIMITATION ON HOLE SCORE
Plus or scratch-Limit of one over par on any hole.
1 through 18 -Limit of two over par on number of holes equal to
handicap. Limit of one over par on balance of holes.
19 through 36 -Limit of three over par on as many holes as the
handicap exceeds 18 strokes. Limit of two over par
on balance of holes.
37 through 40 -For women golfers only. Limit of four over par on as
many holes as the handicap exceeds 36 strokes. Limit
of three over par on balance of holes.
USGA note: The adjusted gross score shall be returned for
handicap purposes every time a player completes an 18-hole round,
no matter where it is played.
You can TALLY a player's gross scores for any course which is in
the golf course list, whether or not it is the players home course.
In the TALLY display you will see a comparison of the player's gross
score, the adjusted gross score and par for each hole.
The players handicap is calculated using USGA rules. It is
determined by taking the average of the lowest 10 of the last 20
differentials, multiplying by 96 percent and rounding off to the
the nearest whole number. If less than 20 scores have been tallied,
the rules are: For players with less than 5 scores there is no USGA
handicap. However, to accommodate players during the first four
rounds, the lowest of the four differentials is used to determine
the players handicap.
For 5 to 19 differentials the rules are: For 5, 6 or 7 rounds
use the lowest 1, 2 or 3 differentials respectively. For 8 or 9
rounds use the lowest 4; for 10 or 11, use the lowest 5; for 12 or 13,
use the lowest 6; for 14 or 15, use the lowest 7; for 16 or 17, use
the lowest 8; and for 18 or 19 rounds use the lowest 9 differentials.
Any handicap which was determined from less than the last twenty
differentials is given a suffix of T, e.g. 12T.
A handicap differential is the difference between a player's
adjusted gross score and the course rating of the course where the
score was made. This definition highlights the importance of the
course rating in the handicapping system.
PC-GOLF's handicap calculations produce results identical to
those of any golf club or association which computes and maintains
handicaps in accordance with the USGA Handicap System. PC-GOLF does
not, however, purport to establish a handicap authorized, sponsored
or approved by the USGA. There are times when, for perfectly legiti-
mate reasons, you do not want to include a round in the handicap
calculations. PC-GOLF gives you that option.
Putting is half the game. You can ENTER a player's putting
scores for any course which is in the golf course list, whether or not
it is the players home course. In the TALLY display you will see a
comparison of the player's putts, gross scores, strokes and par for
each hole. Putting scores which are ENTERed for rounds at a player's
home course will be saved in the players data bank. The players data
bank is used to prepare the home course hole-by-hole performance you
will see in the players score sheets.
The limits for putts and scores are 1 through 4 and 1 through 9,
respectively. A "zero putt", which results from a "chip in",should be
entered as a 2 putt. This maintains the net effect of not degrading
or inflating a player's putting performance with respect to par.
