**** GolfClub ******************************* Quick Start ****
QUICK START
~~~~~~~~~~~
1.. Copy GOLFCLUB.COM and GOLFCLUB.HLP to a separate directory
on your hard drive. The directory can be named C:\GOLF
as an example, however you may name it anything you like.
*** NOTE ***
You MUST have BOTH files (GOLFCLUB.COM and GOLFCLUB.HLP) in
the SAME directory.
The GOLFCLUB.HLP file replaces the Instruction Manual for
GolfClub v1.0b and is available while running GolfClub by
pressing the <F1> Key when any "PullDown" box item is
hi-lighted. To get instant help with any menu option
just hi-light that option and press <F1>.
2.. Change to this directory and type GOLFCLUB and press <Enter>
3.. The TopMenu bar will show the following options:
"File Add Review Edit Utils Index System Quit"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Main Menu screen, press your <Alt> Key if you don't
have a Mouse or select the leftmost item on the TopMenu bar
called "File" with your Mouse and tap the LEFT Mouse button.
When the "PullDown" box appears, select item "Changes" with
the DownArrow Key or the Mouse pointer. For non-Mouse users,
press <Enter> when the "Changes" line is hi-lighted. This
will display the list of changes. Use the DownArrow/UpArrow
Keys to scroll the list.
4.. Read the list of changes as it contains important information
about the "new" GolfClub. GolfClub will advise you of this
when it's loading if you're upgrading to a newer version.
5.. If you've never used GolfClub before you will need to create
at least 1 Player Record and 1 Course Record before you can
add a Game Record. These items can be found by selecting
the "Add" option at the TopMenu bar.
6.. The shareware version does not allow the user to access all
the options that are available in the registered version.

WHAT GolfClub DOES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GolfClub is a database program that allows a Golfer to keep up
with the progress of his/her game 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 you have 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 2,500 different Golfers, 1,000
different Golf Courses and 20,000 different 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.

REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
GolfClub requires a computer rated as being 100% IBM compatible.
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.
OTHER
~~~~~
GolfClub is written in TurboPascal v7.0 by Borland International.
IBM's OS/2 v2.1 and MS DOS v6.2 by Microsoft were the disk
operating environments in use at the time this version of
GolfClub was compiled. All internal routines and other code
were developed and written by Jim Tanner dba RiverBend SoftWare.
The shareware version of GolfClub is for evaluation purposes!
It does not make available all of the options that can be used
by those who register and obtain the registered "Key" which
will unlock all the registered features of GolfClub. Once this
registered Key file is purchased, it will continue to work
will ALL FUTURE VERSIONS of GolfClub. You will never have to
pay any "upgrade" fee. Once registered, always registered!
While there's other products on the market that call themselves
"golf handicapping" systems, priced both higher and lower than
GolfClub, we believe GolfClub will provide you with more different
items about your golf game history AND provide a Handicap
Index that is closer to the Handicap Index provided by the
United States Golf Association than any software available.
