WHAT IS GOLFSCORE ANALYSER?
Golfscore is a program to record and analyse golfscores!
Nah, geddaway.......
Its purpose is to record each round you play, store it,make up an eclectic
score from the latest round & previous rounds, compare each round against
your personal best and update if required.
It also works out average scores, totals up birdies, pars, bogeys etc. on
a per hole & a per round basis & keeps a running total.
You can also print an individual score if you really want to.
I wrote this program using the wonderful AMOS basic.
Golfscore was written to fulfill my own requirement for a program of this
type & also as an exercise to get me used to using AMOS.
This is the first working version of golfscore, it is an alpha release
so it is probably full of bugs.
if you find any bugs, or have any suggestions or comments to make, please
let me know.
You can write to me at:

This program is WORTHWARE. i.e. if you intend to use it regularly please
send me whatever you think it is worth, TO YOU.
If you do send me any money, jelly babies or tins of biscuits
you will automatically go on the list to receive upgrades, bug fixes &
my eternal gratitude.
This program is not P.D. but it is freely redistributable, provided you
keep this doc.file with it & you don't make an unreasonable amount of
money from it.
Oh, and don't change the name of the disk, because all the load/save
operations require a volume called Golfscore:
HOW DO YOU USE IT?
------------------
LOADING:
You can run Golfscore from workbench or you can boot from the
golfscore disk on power-up, depending on memory avaliability.
GETTING STARTED:
On loading you will be presented with a blank-screen. "Oh yes, very
user friendly" I hear you shout. DON'T PANIC, Golfscore is completely menu
driven, (Hot keys as well in next release).
The first thing to do is to configure your course(s). to do this you go to
the project menu and select...wait for it....Configure a course!, get the
idea? Good. OK Golfscore will then display a scorecard & prompt you for
the details of your course (it is a good idea to have the scorecard of your
course handy before you do this), it will require the yardage & par for
each hole.
When you have input the course details, a file will automatically be
created for the course on the disk.
INPUTTING A SCORE:
The next thing you will need to do is input a score. To do this go
to the scores menu & select, ...yes, you've guessed it... Input a score.
Once again, everthing is prompted for on screen so you can't really go
wrong.
Once the score has been input, it is compared to the eclectic & best scores
which are updated as needed (I can't spell nessessssery). relevent bits will
also have sums done on them (I can't spell calculations, either), to be
used in the statistics (more on stats later).
If you're like me, you have probably had a play with Golfscore already so
you will have noticed that it doesn't really do much untill you have a
score on file.
B E W A R E !
Any score input will affect the statistics for all future calculations so
MAKE SURE ANY SCORE IS CORRECT BEFORE YOU SAVE IT TO DISK!!!!!!
You may delete a score but the statistics will already have been added to
the overall analysis file, which you cannot at present alter (future!).
SHOW A SCORE:
To show a score, go to the scores menu and select "Show a score".
Yes, I know, you're way ahead of me. If you have already opened a course
you will be given a file selector asking you which score to show.(each
score has a date & course attached to its filename). You will only be
offered scores from the current course.
If you have not already opened a course, you will be prompted to open one
by a file selector
If you wish to see scores from a different course you will first have to
open a course.
OPEN A COURSE:
To open a course go to the project menu and select......yeah, you
know the rest. you will only need to do this if you are using two courses &
want to change to another. All other functions automaticaly prompt for a
a course if one is not already in memory.
DELETE A SCORE:
Fairly obvious one this, go to the scores menu and..........
( DELETING OLD SCORES DOES NOT AFFECT STATISTICS )
SHOW BEST SCORE:
Go to the analysis menu and select "Show Best Score" (shock horror
probe !) this will show you your best ever round (whether or not you've
deleted it on a previous occasion).
SHOW ECLECTIC SCORE:
For those of you who don't know what an eclectic score is, it is
the best ever score on a HOLE BY HOLE basis, each individual best score on
each hole being gathered together into one seriously good round. This is
compared & if required, updated every time a new score is input.
To show an eclectic score go to the analysis menu and etc....etc.....
SHOW STATISTICS:
Every time a score is input, the stats file for that course is
updated. SO MAKE SURE EVERY SCORE IS CORRECT BEFORE SAVING.
The best way to see what the stats are is to input a score & Then go to
the analysis menu and ....... well, you know the drill.
PRINT SCORE:
Confession time.
The print function in Golfscore is very primitive. this is for two reasons:
1. My printer is very primitive
2. My knowledge of such things is also very primative.
However, it does work as long as you have a printer connected to the
paralell? parallel? anyway,the port that isn't the serial port.(you know
what I mean.)
I am currently working on this & I promise to seriously improve it for the
next version.
To print a score, go to the hardcopy menu, wear a silly hat, place your
hand inside your jacket and shout "I am Napoleon, I tell you, I am!"
RESETTING STATS:
In this version the only way to re-set your stats to zero is to delete
all scores, go to the CLI
delete scores/<course name>.stats
delete scores/<course name>.best
delete scores/<course name>.eclectic
there will be a vast improvement on this in future versions
I know this is a minority program, in that users will need to own
an Amiga AND play Golf, but I hope it may be usefull to someone.
Even if you don't make any worthware contribution, please get in touch &
let me know what you think of it, as it is the first piece of software I
have inflicted on an unsuspectimg world.
