  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.

  þ  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.

  þ  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

  þ  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.

  (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 1st or 2nd shot)
  Par 5 ........... 3 (Hit on 2nd or 3rd shot)

  þ  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.

  þ  A ball landing on the green and rolling off is to be marked as
     a green missed.

  (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 stops IN the
  Fairway on the FIRST shot off the Tee.  Par 3 holes are NOT included
  in Fairway's hit.  If you miss the Green on a par 3 hole and your
  ball stops in the Fairway, it's considered a Green missed and NOT
  a Fairway hit.

  þ  Looking at the percent of Fairways hit at the Summary Screen will
     give a good indication of how accurate you are 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.

  þ  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.

  (WAGERS)
  --------
  If you make wagers with your playing partners while playing, enter
  the amount of money won here.  In the event you have wagers with more
  than 1 person, if you won money from one and lost from another, enter
  amounts won from winning wagers then enter the amounts lost from losing
  wagers.  GolfCap will automatically make the necessary calculations for
  you.  Skip either/both these prompts, by pressing <Enter> without
  entering anything.

  (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.
  When the <S>ave option is selected, GolfCap will automatically update
  the golfer's Handicap Index provided the golfer has a minimum of 5 or
  more 18-hole games saved in the database and is running the registered
  version of GolfCap.

  ADD - Golfer
  ============
  Information entered here is used by GolfCap when doing Handicaps,
  minimum and maximum scores, etc.  It can be used also for keeping up
  with a player's age.  A Golfer Record must be saved in the database
  before a Game Record can be added.

  þ  GolfCap permits only 1 Golfer record.  If you need to maintain
     records for more than yourself, contact RiverBend SoftWare and
     inquire about GolfLog (1-8 Golfers) or GolfClub (7,500 Golfers).

  (FIRST and LAST NAME)
  ---------------------
  Enter the FIRST name of the golfer and press <Enter> to move to
  the prompt for the LAST name.  DO NOT enter BOTH the first and last
  name at either of these prompts as GolfCap does some sorting based on
  the last name and it needs to know how to recognize it as being a
  legitimate last name or first name.

  (SEX)
  -----
  GolfCap 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 required 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"), GolfCap will know the difference and adjust accordingly.

  (AGE)
  -----
  GolfCap needs to know the age of the 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 required to enter an age here that is over 4 and
  under 100.

  (HANDICAP INDEX)
  ----------------
  If the golfer already has an established Handicap Index it should
  be entered at this prompt.  If the golfer does not have a Handicap
  Index or it is not known, enter a zero 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.
  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 when adding a new Game
  Record.  Mouse users may place the Mouse pointer on the letter inside
  the "< >" and click the LEFT Mouse button.

  ADD - Course
  ============
  After completing this requirement for a Course, you will not be
  required to enter it again.  A Course Record is saved in the data-
  base 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.

  þ  There's no limit on the number of Courses you can have in GolfCap

  (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 DOES 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 sets of Tees 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 GolfCap 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, GolfCap 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, GolfCap will display a message box advising
  you which of the sides do not match the Par value indicated at the
  top of the screen.

  þ  GolfCap does not accept Par values less than 3 or more than 5.

  (SLOPE and RATING)
  ------------------
  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 two
  prompts.  The Slope is entered first and the next prompt will ask for
  the Rating of the course.  These spaces MUST have a value as GolfCap
  uses them to determine the Handicap Index and Course Handicap.

  (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.

  (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.
  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 allow it to be called up when adding a new Game Record.

  HANDICAP - Handicap Index
  =========================
  A formula similar to that used by the U.S.G.A. and the R.C.G.A. is
  used for the computations and provides matching results.  A golfer
  must have a minimum of five 18-hole Game Records in the database
  before a Handicap Index can be determined.

     Games         to be used from

      20           10 Lowest rounds
      21+          10 Lowest rounds from last 20 rounds played

  This display screen provides the user with his/her current Handicap
  Index, OverAll Differential, scores of the games from which the
  Handicap Differentials were selected and a list of the scores from the
  last 5 - 20 18-hole games.  The list of scores from the last 5 - 20
  18-hole games are shown as played beginning at the left side and
  continuing across and if more than 10 scores are listed, beginning
  again at the left side of the second row of scores and continuing
  across from left to right.

  þ  The Handicap Index determined by GolfCap is not to be used as a
     golfer's "official" Handicap Index when entering Tournaments where
     players are flighted based on their Handicap.  An "official"
     Handicap Index can only be obtained from the U.S.G.A. or the
     R.C.G.A.  Handicap Index's coming from these organizations may
     take weeks to reach you.  Using GolfCap, your Handicap Index can
     be seen after each Game Record is saved allowing a golfer to
     determine his/her current Handicap Index instantly.
  þ  In this and other GolfCap documents, U.S.G.A. stands for the
     United States Golf Association and R.C.G.A. stands for the
     Royal Canadian Golf Association.  P.G.A. stands for the
     Professional Golfer's Association.
  þ  For more information about Handicaps, see the file HANDICAP.TXT
     included on the GolfCap diskette or archive (ZIP file).  You
     may want to print it for a handy reference.  Also, you may

  HANDICAP - Course Handicap
  ==========================
  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 and Rating of the Course being played.  The
  course Pro or manager should be able to explain the method used
  to determine a Course Handicap using these three items when you're
  playing a course that you've never played before and don't have the
  course recorded in the GolfCap database.

  þ  A Course Handicap will be expressed as a whole number like 4, 9,
     12, etc. while their Handicap Index is most often (but not always)
     shown with a decimal as in 3.6, 7.3, 16.4, etc.

                   Miscellaneous Rules and Definitions
       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Use ArrowKeys (), PageUp, and PageDown to scroll this list
       ------------------------------------------------------------

  1.. Addressing the ball:  A golfer has "addressed" the ball when
      he/she has taken a stance AND has grounded the club, except that
      when in a hazard, the club may NOT be grounded.

  2.. Bogey Golfer:  A golfer with a Handicap Index ranging from 17.5
      to 22.4 for Men and 21.5 to 26.4 for Women.  See also #28 below.

  3.. Bunker:  A hazard consisting of a prepared area, often a hollow
      from which turf or soil has been removed and replaced with sand
      or the like.

  4.. Casual Water:  Any temporary accumulation of water which is
      visible before or after the golfer has taken a stance and is not
      in a water hazard.

  5.. Club Limit:  The maximum number of clubs allowed (including the
      Putter) in your bag during play is 14.

  6.. Course Handicap:  The number of Handicap Strokes a golfer receives
      at the course being played.  A Course Handicap is determined by
      multiplying a golfer's Handicap Index by the Course Slope and then
      dividing the result by 113.  If a decimal figure results, it is
      rounded to the nearest whole number (.5 is rounded upward).

      þ  GolfCap automatically determines a golfer's Course Handicap
         each time a Game Record is added to the database.

  7.. Course Rating:  The final evaluation of the playing difficulty of
      a course compared with similarly evaluated courses as related to
      the normal playing ability of a "scratch" golfer.  A Course Rating
      is based on the score a scratch golfer should shoot from a certain
      set of Tees.  The higher the Course Rating, the more difficult the
      course.

  8.. Course Slope:  The measure of the relative playing difficulty of
      a course and its relationship with abilities of both a "scratch"
      golfer and a "bogey" golfer.  Course Slope defines a course's
      degree of difficulty for the average golfer.  The higher the
      Course Slope, the more difficult the average golfer will find the
      course.  Course Slope's range from a low of 100 (easy course) to
      135 (very difficult course).  Some courses may have a Slope value
      higher than 135.  GolfCap allows Slope values from 100 to 170.

      þ  The Club Pro/Manager should be able to provide both the
         Slope and Rating of the course being played.  At many
         clubs, this information is provided on the score card.

  9.. Equitable Stroke Control:  A form of mandatory stroke control,
      FOR HANDICAP PURPOSES ONLY, which limits the individual score on
      any hole in relation to a golfer's course handicap.  The main
      purpose of ESC is to eliminate unrealistic scoring which is not
      related to a golfer's normal playing ability.

      Course Handicap           Maximum Hole Score (U.S.G.A. Limits)
      --------------------------------------------------------------
      0 - 9                     6
      10 - 19                   7
      20 - 29                   8
      30 - 39                   9
      40 - 49                   10
      50 and higher             11

      þ  GolfCap automatically puts ESC into effect after a golfer
         has an established Handicap Index.

 10.. Fairway Hit:  A ball hit from the Tee and coming to rest in the
      fairway on Par 4 and Par 5 holes.  A ball hit from the Tee on
      Par 3 holes that ends up in the fairway is considered a green
      missed and NOT a fairway hit.  If any part of the ball is
      touching the area defined as the fairway, it is considered to
      be in the fairway and if hit as the 1st shot from the Tee, is
      considered a fairway hit in regulation.

 11.. Green Hit:  A ball ending up on the actual putting surface when
      hit as follows:
                      Par 3 hole....:  1st shot
                      Par 4 hole....:  1st or 2nd shot
                      Par 5 hole....:  2nd or 3rd shot

      þ  A ball landing on the green and rolling/bouncing off the
         defined putting surface is NOT considered a green hit.
      þ  If after coming to a stop, any part of the ball is touching
         the defined putting surface and is hit from the shots listed
         above, it is considered as a green hit in regulation.

 12.. Gross Score:  This is the actual score shot on the course being
      played.  See #23 below.

 13.. Ground Under Repair:  Any portion of the course so marked by an
      authorized representative of the club.  It includes material that
      has been piled for removal, tire marks, construction areas, etc.
      Grass cuttings left on the course that have been abandoned and
      are not intended to be removed are NOT ground under repair unless
      marked as such.  The margin of ground under repair extends
      vertically downward but not upward.

 14.. Handicap Differential:  The difference between a golfer's adjusted
      gross score and the Course Rating of the course on which the score
      was made, multiplied by 113, then divided by the Course Slope.

      þ  GolfCap automatically determines the Handicap Differential
         each time a Game Record is added to the database.

 15.. Handicap Index:  The number which represents the golfer's ability
      on a course of average difficulty.  It is expressed, in most cases,
      as a whole number and a decimal.  The decimal is NOT rounded.

      þ  A golfer does not play off the Handicap Index.  Rather a
         Course Handicap is determined using the formula in item #6
         above.
      þ  The maximum Handicap Index allowed is 36.4 (Men) and
         40.4 (Women)
      þ  The Handicap Index is based on Handicap Differentials from
         18-hole games only.  Scores and other data from 9-hole games
         are used in the stats but are not used when GolfCap determines
         or updates your Handicap Index.
      þ  To review your Handicap Index, select HANDICAP from the
         TopMenu then select "Handicap Index".  This display will
         provide you with your current Handicap Index, OverAll
         Differential, the scores from the games from which the
         Handicap Differentials were selected and a list of scores
         from your last 5 to 20 18-hole games.
      þ  If a golfer has 5 or more 18-holes games in the database,
         GolfCap automatically calculates, and updates, the golfer's
         Handicap Index after each new Game is entered and saved.

 16.. Handicap Stroke Hole:  A hole on which the golfer applies a
      handicap stroke to his/her gross score.  These holes are usually
      indicated on the scorecard provided by the club.

 17.. Hazard:  Any bunker or water hazard.  See #3 above and #32 below.

 18.. Hole:  The hole on the putting green is 4-1/4 inches (108mm)
      in diameter and at least 4 inches (100mm) deep.  If a lining is
      used, it should be sunk at least 1 inch (25mm) below the putting
      green surface.  The outside diameter of the liner should not
      exceed 4-1/4 inches (108mm).

 19.. Holes Not Played:  When a hole is not played, the score for that
      hole is Par, plus any handicap strokes the golfer is entitled to
      based on his/her full Course Handicap.  This also applies to any
      hole not played by the Rules of Golf.

 20.. Home Course Handicap:  A golfer's Course Handicap at the course
      considered as the golfer's "home course" and from the tees most
      frequently used by the membership as established by that club.

 21.. Incomplete Score:  A golfer who starts, but fails to complete a
      hole, should use a score based on the following:

      Course                 Use this
      Handicap               Hole Score
      ---------------------------------
      0 .................... 1 over PAR
      1 - 18 ............... 2 over PAR
      19 - 32 .............. 3 over PAR
      33 and above ......... 4 over PAR

      þ  There is no limit on the number of incomplete holes PROVIDED
         the incompletion is not intended to control the Handicap.  A
         golfer should not discontinue play on a hole when there is the
         possibility the hole will be played in fewer strokes than the
         score allowed when ESC is in effect.
      þ  If a golfer is using ESC, the above scores may be adjusted
         by GolfCap based on the golfer's Course Handicap.

 22.. Lost Ball:  A ball is considered lost if:

      þ  It is not found within 5 minutes by its player after the
         search has begun.
      þ  The golfer has put another ball into play under the Rules
         of Golf, even though the original ball may not have been
         searched for.
      þ  The golfer has played any stroke with a provisional ball
         from the place where the original ball is likely to be or
         from a point nearer the hole than that place.

 23.. Net Score:  A golfer's score after it has been adjusted by
      his/her Course Handicap in effect when the game is played.

      þ  GolfCap automatically determines the Net Score each time
         a Game Record is added to the database.

 24.. Par:  The score a "scratch" golfer would be expected to make on
      any given hole, allowing two (2) strokes on the putting green.

      Par for each hole is usually fixed as follows:

      PAR  Golfer    YARDS                    METERS/METRES
      ---------------------------------------------------------
       3   Men       Less than 250            Less than 228
       3   Women     Less than 210            Less than 192
       --------------------------------------------------------
       4   Men       Between 251 - 470        Between 229 - 430
       4   Women     Between 211 - 400        Between 193 - 366
       --------------------------------------------------------
       5   Men       Between 471 - 690        Between 431 - 631
       5   Women     Between 401 - 590        Between 367 - 540
       --------------------------------------------------------
       6   Men       Exceeds 690              Exceeds 631
       6   Women     Exceeds 590              Exceeds 540
      ---------------------------------------------------------

      þ  GolfCap will not accept holes with a Par value over 5.

 25.. Provisional Ball:  A ball played under the Rules of Golf which
      may be lost outside a water hazard or may be out of bounds.

 26.. Putting Green:  All ground of the hole being played which is
      specially prepared for putting or otherwise defined as such.
      A ball is considered to be "on the green" when any part of it
      is touching the putting green surface.  For statistical purposes
      a ball landing on the green but rolling/bouncing off of the
      actual putting surface is to be considered a green missed.

      þ  The putting green has also been described as a place where
         golfers meet 18 times during a round to exchange excuses for
         bad putts and poor shots coming down the fairway.

 27.. Rub of the green:  This occurs when a ball in motion is deemed
      accidentally deflected or stopped by a scorer, observer, fellow
      competitor or a forecaddie.  Neither wind nor water is taken into
      consideration in this situation.

 28.. Scratch Golfer:  A very proficient golfer.  The average of the
      best half of this golfer's scores should equal the course Rating.
      This golfer would have a Handicap Index of 0 (zero).

 29.. Stableford Points:  A method where points are awarded in relation
      to Par at each hole as follows:

      Hole Score                    Points
      ------------------------------------
      Two or more over Par .........  0
      One over Par .................  1
      Par ..........................  2
      One under Par ................  3
      Two under Par ................  4
      Three under Par ..............  5
      Four under Par ...............  6

      þ  The winner in Stableford competition is the golfer who scores
         the most points.
      þ  GolfCap automatically determines the Stableford points each
         time a new Game Record is added to the database.

 30.. Stakes/Markers:  All out-of-bounds, hazards and ground-under-
      repair areas are identified by stakes/markers of the following
      colors:

      Water Hazards ........... Yellow stakes or lines
      Lateral Water Hazards ... Red stakes or lines
      Ground Under Repair ..... White lines
      Out Of Bounds ........... Large white stakes/posts where not
                                already established by wall, fence,
                                road/street or other permanent fixture.

 31.. Stroke:  The forward movement of the club made with the intention
      of striking the ball.  If the golfer checks his/her downswing
      voluntarily before the clubhead reaches the ball, this is not
      considered a stroke.

 32.. Water Hazard:  Any sea, lake, pond, stream, ditch, surface water
      drainage ditch or other open water course (whether or not it
      contains water).

 33.. Wrong Ball:  Any ball other than the ball in play or provisional
      ball.
