  ADD GAME RECORD
  ===============
  Select this option when you wish to add a new Game Record to the
  database.  If you have more than one Golfer in the database you will
  first be required to select the Golfer from a "PickList" by moving the
  Arrow Keys (UpArrow and DownArrow) causing the bar to HiLight the
  correct Golfer, then you press <Enter> to select that Golfer.  Next,
  if you have more than one Course Record in the database, you will be
  asked to select a Course from the "PickList" using the same method
  that you used when selecting the Golfer.  If you only have one Golfer
  and Course in the database, you will go directly to the screen where
  all the information needed by GolfClub will be entered.  You really
  should bring your score card home with you to be assured of entering
  the requested information correctly.

  (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 GolfClub 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 "0"
  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
  1994.

  (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 or 3 playing partners.

  (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, GolfClub will select the
  score box for the front 9 or the back 9 depending on the side you
  indicated.  If you entered 18, then GolfClub will display the scorebox
  for the entire 18 holes of the Course 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 GolfClub AND you have an established
  Handicap Index AND you have indicated that you want to use the
  "Equitable Stroke Control" (ESC) rule, GolfClub 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, GolfClub 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.  If it's under the minimum score allowed by the
  U.S.G.A. or over the maximum score allowed by the U.S.G.A. GolfClub will
  advise you and adjust the score accordingly.  The minimum score allowed
  for handicapping purposes is 27.  The maximum score allowed depends on
  the Golfer's age and sex.  GolfClub knows the age and sex of each Golfer
  along with the U.S.G.A. limits and will make all the necessary adjust-
  ments as needed.

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

  (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 Fairways 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.

  ■ Looking at the percent of Fairways hit at the Summary Screen will
    indicate how accurate a Golfer is 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.

  ■ 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.

  (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.

  ADD GOLFER RECORD
  =================
  Information entered here is used by GolfClub when doing Handicaps,
  minimum and maximum scores, etc.  It can be used also for keeping up
  with a player's age, address, phone number, etc.  At least one (1)
  Golfer Record must be saved in the database before a Game Record can
  be added.

  (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 GolfClub 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)
  -----
  GolfClub 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"), GolfClub will know the difference and adjust accordingly.

  (AGE)
  -----
  GolfClub needs to know the age 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 an age here that is over 4 and
  under 100.

  (ADDRESS)
  ---------
  Enter here the address (street or P.O. box) of the Golfer.  Do not
  exceed the field length indicated by the dark spaces or you will be
  required to complete the prompt again.

  code for the state and the ZIP code.

  (HOME PHONE and WORK PHONE)

  then the work or office phone.  Either of these numbers could also
  be a car phone if desired.

  (HANDICAP INDEX)

  If the Golfer already has an established Handicap Index it should
  be entered at this prompt.  If the Golfer does not have an established
  Handicap Index or it is not known, enter a zero "0" 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.

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

  (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

  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 DO 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 Tee boxes 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 GolfClub
  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, GolfClub 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, GolfClub will display a message box advising
  you which of the sides do not match the Par value indicated at the
  top of the screen.

  ■ GolfClub does not accept Hole Par values of less than 3 or more
    than 5.  Acceptable Par values are 3, 4, and 5.

  (SLOPE and RATING)
  ------------------
  If your course is an approved U.S.G.A. or R.C.G.A. course, it will
  have both a "Slope" and "Rating" assigned to it.  The Club Pro or
  Club 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 2 prompts.
  Always enter the Slope value first then the Rating.

  (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.

  HANDICAP INDEX
  ==============
  A formula like the one 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 (5) Game Records (18-hole games) in the
  database before a Handicap Index can be determined.  GolfClub checks

  ■ The user will first be asked to select a Golfer Record from the
    "PickList" which will be displayed in the upper left corner of
    the screen.
  ■ The Handicap Index determined by GolfClub 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. (through your
    local P.G.A. Professional) or the Royal Canadian Golf Association.
    Handicap Index's coming from the U.S.G.A. (or local affiliate) may
    take weeks to reach you.  With GolfClub, a Golfers Handicap Index
    can be seen after each Game Record is entered.  This allows each
    Golfer to know what his/her current Handicap Index is at any time.

  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 value of the Course being played.  The course
  Pro or Club Manager should be able to explain the method used to
  determine a Course Handicap when you're playing a course that you've
  never played before and don't have the course recorded in the GolfClub
  database.

  ■ A Golfer's Course Handicap will be expressed as a whole number
    like 4, 9, 16, etc. while their Handicap Index is most often (but
    not always) shown with a decimal as in 3.6 or 11.7, etc.
~~~
[6/3]
  QUICK HANDICAP
  ==============
  Use this option to quickly figure a Course Handicap for a Golfer
  who is not in the database.  This would most often be used when
  someone who is not already in the database wants to know his/her
  Handicap for the course being played.

  1.. Enter the Slope value of the Course (90 - 160).
  2.. Indicate whether the Golfer is Male or Female by pressing
      <M> for male or <F> for female.
  3.. Enter the Golfer's Handicap Index.  For Men this must be a
      value between 0 and 36.4  For Women this must be a value
      between 0 and 40.4

  MASTER LIST
  ===========
  Selecting this option will generate a list of ALL Golfers in
  the database sorted in alphabetical order.

  This listing will serve various purposes such as recording payment
  of tournament entry fee, etc.  A printer is required.

  A typical Listing looks like the following:

  -------------------------------------------------------------------
  Golfer                                 Note
  -------------------------------------------------------------------
  Billy Bob Adamczak                     [ ]_________________________
  Buffalo Bill                           [ ]_________________________
  Jane Duffer                            [ ]_________________________
  John Duffer                            [ ]_________________________

  ALL BY RANK
  ===========
  Selecting this option will print a listing with all Golfers
  in the database ranked according to their current Handicap Index.
  A zero (0) is the best Handicap Index.  Any Golfer(s) having a "0"
  Handicap Index will be ranked first.  In the event 2 or more Golfers
  have identical Handicap Index values, they will be shown as "tied"
  with the same rank number.  The Golfer ranked at the top of a tie
  indicates the Golfer was entered into the database before the other
  Golfer(s) with the same rank.

  This requires at least two (2) Golfer Records to be in the database
  and they must have an established Handicap Index.  You should also
  have your printer turned ON and loaded with an adequate supply of
  paper.

  A typical Listing looks like the following:

  -------------------------------------------------------------------
  Rank  -- Golfer                                 Index   Note
  -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1        John Doe                                 .7    [ ]________
  2        Jane Doe                                1.3    [ ]________
  3        Sam Spade                               8.7    [ ]________
  4        Sally Spade                            16.2    [ ]________
  4        Andy Taylor                            16.2    [ ]________
  6        Barney Fife                            21.4    [ ]________

  In this example, two Golfers are tied (4th/5th) with the same Index.

  The "Note" area is provided so any special conditions can be indicated.
