QUICK START
~~~~~~~~~~~
1.. Copy GOLFLOG.COM and GOLFLOG.HEP to a separate directory
on your hard drive. The directory can be named C:\GOLFLOG
as an example, however you may name it anything you like.
*** NOTE ***
You MUST have BOTH files (GOLFLOG.COM and GOLFLOG.HEP) in
the SAME directory.
The GOLFLOG.HEP file replaces the Instruction Manual for
GolfLog and is available while running GolfLog 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>.

add a Game Record. These items can be found by selecting
the "ADD" option at the TopMenu bar.

the options that are available in the registered version.

WHAT GolfLog DOES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GolfLog 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. Need to know how much you've spent on Green Fees and/or
Cart Rental Fees? It's right there in the "Summary".
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.
GolfLog will maintain stats for 8 different Golfers, 50 different
Golf Courses and 4000 different games (500 games per Golfer).
These figures represent the capabilities of GolfLog when it is
registered only.
In the registered version, GolfLog will automatically update a
Golfer's Handicap Index each time a new Game is added to the
database PROVIDED the Golfer has a total of 5 or more 18-hole
games recorded in the database. This eliminates the need to
manually update the Handicap Index for each Golfer using the
Handicap Index option under the HANDICAP heading.
Golf and Country Clubs wanting a larger system
should contact RiverBend SoftWare and inquire
about GolfClub. Does everything GolfLog does
and handles 2,500 Golfers, 65,000 games.

REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
GolfLog requires a computer rated as being 100% IBM compatible.
Most clones on today's market will meet this requirement. GolfLog
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 GolfLog, 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 GolfLog. GolfLog requires about 200K of free memory to load.
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)
GolfLog has been tested on many different type and brands of
computers. These machines varied from 8086 XT machines up to
80486 machines running at 90 Mhz and the Pentium machines. All
of the test machines were rated as being 100% IBM compatible.
OTHER
~~~~~
The shareware version of GolfLog 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 GolfLog. Once this
registered Key file is purchased, it will continue to work
will ALL FUTURE VERSIONS of GolfLog. 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
GolfLog, we believe GolfLog will provide you with more different
items/stats about your golf game history AND provide a Handicap
Index that is closer to the Handicap Index provided by the United
States Golf Association and the Royal Canadian Golf Association
than any software available.
GolfLog is now used by Golfers in England, Sweden, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Canada,
Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Nova Scotia, the Virgin Islands,
France, Indonesia, and 49 of the 50 United States of America.

copy of GolfLog. It is illegal to give, sell, lend, or in any
way transfer, this file to anyone else.

should be made for "backup" purposes.

registered, always registered! Keep a copy of the Key file in
the same directory that GOLFLOG.COM resides in and NEVER remove
or delete it.

GolfLog.

Printer Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GolfLog can be used with or without a printer. When selecting to
print Summary Report, Individual Game Reports and the GolfLog Order
form, any printer (Dot Matrix or Laser) may be used.
The ONLY time a LASER printer is required is when the user wishes
to print blank score cards for a course in the database.
GolfLog allows the user to select any of three Parallel Ports to
be used when printing. These port numbers are 1, 2, and 3 The
port number you wish to use can be selected at the PullDown Menu
under UTILS at the Main Menu. Once selected, the port number is
remembered by GolfLog and will be used when a printing operation
is selected. The port selected will remain as the default until
changed again by the user.

~~~~~~~
GolfLog will run both inside and outside of Windows v3.1 or higher
including Windows95.

to a fixed score (PAR) at each hole as follows:
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

Game Record when it is saved to the database.

you must edit each Game Record for which you want the Stableford
points added.
