ADD - Game
==========
Select this option when you wish to add a new Game Record to the
database. If you have more than one Course Record in the database,
you will be asked to select a Course from the "PickList". You
really should bring your score card home with you to be assured
of entering the requested information correctly.
■ There's no limit on the number of Games you can enter when
GolfCap is registered.
(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 GolfCap 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
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 "1995."
(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 playing partners.
(GREEN FEE - CART FEE)
----------------------
If you paid a Green fee and/or rented a cart enter the amount
paid for the Green fee first (press <Enter> without typing anything
here to skip this prompt) then, after entering the Green Fee amount
you will be prompted for the amount you paid for cart rental.
Skipping this prompt can be accomplished by the same method just
mentioned for Green fee.
(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, GolfCap 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 GolfCap
will display the score box for the entire 18-holes of the Course
you 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 GolfCap AND you have an established
Handicap Index AND you have indicated that you want to use the
"Equitable Stroke Control" (ESC) rule, GolfCap 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, GolfCap 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. The minimum score allowed for handicapping
purposes is 27. The maximum score allowed depends on the golfer's
age and sex.
■ A golfer who starts, but fails to complete, a hole should use
a score based on the following:
Handicap Score
-------- ----------
0 1 over PAR
1 - 18 2 over PAR
19 - 32 3 over PAR
33 and over 4 over PAR
■ If the golfer is using ESC, the above scores may be adjusted
by GolfCap based on the golfer's Course Handicap. For more
information regarding ESC, select "Definitions" under the
Main Menu heading MISC.
