GolfMeister is a program used to record and analyze golf scores. It keeps statistics on such things as greens in regulation, drives in fairway, eagles, birdies etc. It can also be used to calculate one's handicap and handicap index (slope).
The Handicap and Slope calculations are not certified by any golf authority. They are there merely for your own interest. I have made every effort, however, to ensure that the calculations used are accurate and up to date in accordance with USGA regulations.
GolfMeister also allows you to print out various reports on items entered. It can print a course listing, a round listing (complete and by course) and various copies of the cards entered.
Using it
GolfMeister allows you to keep the scores of more than one person by using a separate document for each person. You create a new document by choosing New from the file menu.
You record scores by first entering the course. Either click on the Add button beside courses or choose Add Course from the Courses menu. You then fill in the appropriate information ( name, ratings, pars, yardages, handicap hole etc.) for the course.
You can now start entering scores for that course. You do this by selecting the course and clicking on the Add button beside Rounds. You can then enter the appropriate information for the round. Be sure to check out the stats for that round by clicking on the triangle control at the bottom left of the screen.
