WHAT GolfClub DOES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GolfClub is a database program that allows a Golf club to keep up
with the progress of all members in several different ways. It
keeps detailed accounts of each game and allows the user to pull
up any Game Record for an extensive review of that particular game.
The Summary of all games provides the Golfer with the totals of
many different facets of the game. If you want to know how many
strokes a Golfer has made since you started keeping records, it's
in the Summary. Other interesting items are also provided such as
the average strokes per hole for all the holes you've recorded,
the totals of all the Pars, Birdies, Bogeys, etc. for an entire
golfing season. This summary might well be the most interesting
and informative source of game progress you will ever be able to
find. Use it to see where a Golfer needs extra practice.
You can pull up for review, the score card for any game you've
recorded and check to see just what the score was on any hole you
wish. Need to know WHO you played what COURSE with on a given
DATE and what your SCORE was? No problem! If you entered names
of your playing partner(s) when you recorded the game, all that
information is right at your fingertips.
GolfClub will maintain stats for 7,500 different Golfers, 1,000
different Golf Courses and unlimited games. These figures
represent the capabilities of GolfClub when registered only.
Teaching Professionals can use GolfClub to show students the status
of their over-all golf game and where extra work needs to be done.
ProShop operators can use GolfClub to generate extra income by
charging members a fee to provide individual stats, a complete
history of all their golf games, and printouts of any individual
game record and scorecard along with a printout of a summary all
their stats.

Most clones on today's market will meet this requirement. GolfClub
requires a computer to have at least 512k of conventional memory.
Most computers available on the current market will have 640k as a
minimum with many offering 1 MegaByte or more. If you do encounter
memory problems running GolfClub, disable any TSR (Terminate-Stay-
Resident) programs such as pop-up clocks, note pads, menus, etc.
A minimum of 350k of free memory is an ideal operating environment
for GolfClub.
Your CONFIG.SYS file should contain the following statements:
FILES=20 (or more)
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS (or directory where ANSI.SYS is located)
GolfClub has been tested on many different type and brands of
computers. These machines varied from 8086 XT machines up to
80586 machines running at 100 Mhz and the new Pentium machines.
All of the test machines were rated as being 100% IBM compatible.
While GolfClub has been tested and worked on all test machines,
this does not mean that it will work on yours.

file, when found by GolfClub, will enable ALL options only the
registered users are entitled to.
The Key file is each registered user's personal Key for his/her
copy of GolfClub. It is illegal to give, sell, lend, or in any
way transfer, the "Key" file file to anyone else.
When a user registers GolfClub and receives the Key file, a copy
should be made for "backup" purposes.
The Key file will work with ALL future versions of GolfClub. Once
registered, always registered! Keep a copy of the Key file in
the same directory that GOLFCLUB.COM resides in and NEVER remove
or delete it. Replacement of lost Key files cost $15.00
Name changes to Key files require the purchase of a new copy of
GolfClub at the standard price of $149.95 + S/H charges.

brand is the only type that has been tested here.

In order for the information to fit on the labels, the length of
the Golfer's address is a maximum of 23 characters. If you have
any Golfers in the database with an address that exceeds the 23
