-
- If you already have a copy of GLR, it is safest to install this
- version in a different directory and do not overwrite your
- program files. See instructions below to save your existing
- Golf data Files.
-
- Overwrite?
- If you receive a .DLL or .VBX file overwrite question while
- installing, and are concerned about possible problems with
- other programs, choose NO and simply go with your existing
- files, GLR will usually work with most versions of system
- files.
-
-
- Note: If you are UPDATING TO VERSION 2.1, be sure to save your,
- GOLFLR.DAT file, COURSE.DAT file and especially your LEAGUE
- (.LGE) files. These files represent your existing data
- information. Make a copy of these files occasionally as a
- backup. Install them in the directory with this
- new version of GLR to keep your current information.
-
- To import your files from an older version of GLR...
-
- 1. Copy your existing league files (.LGE) into the directory
- where GLR resides.
- 2. Copy your existing Course.DAT and GOLFLR.DAT files into
- the directory where GLR resides, replacing the files that came
- with the program.

- those in your group & select the tee that they usually play from.

-
- 3. From the Courses menu, choose Add Course to bring up the course
- entry window. Fill in the Name, par for each hole, the rating
- for each tee and the slope rating. If you do not know the slope
- rating, use 113. Also, enter 'Initials' for the course, to be
- used on the summary reports.
-

- the File menu. Check that the date is correct in the lower left
- side of the window. Click on the names of the people who played.
- Select the course played from the box on the lower right side of
- the window. Once you have completed your selections, Click on
- the Accept button to continue.
-
- 5. Enter the Adjusted score for each hole, or simply enter the
- front nine and back nine totals if you do not need a hole by hole
- record. Some Analysis functions may not include results for
- holes that do not have a value, but the totals and handicap
- index along with the future Course handicap will be computed
- normally. See your USGA rules or read the info on Adjusted Scores.
- Note: If you will be playing nine hole rounds, check the program
- settings from the File menu and read the information topic
- Nine Hole Rounds for choosing how the program will compute for
- rounds with less than 18 holes played.
-
- Viewing the Results...
-
- 6. Once all scores have been recorded, Choose the View you
- prefer from the View menu. The data can be displayed in
- three manners; Most recent rounds, by date or by Individual.
- The arrow buttons on the lower right of the main window cause
- the display to go back for past rounds or earlier dates.
-
- 7. The handicap index for the latest round played for each
- player can be used at any course to determine a Course
- handicap for the next round.
- Note: The course handicap (scroll to the far right of the
- information line) is applicable only if the player plays
- the same course as they did when the last round was
- recorded, otherwise the handicap index must be used with
- a course handicap table.
-
- 8. From the File menu, choose Program Registration to
- register your copy to enable hardcopy printing of your
- reports. (only $10.00)
-
- 9. Golf League Recorder should prove to be perfect for smaller
- casual Leagues and groups. See the topic 'USGA Handicap Index'
- for information regarding official handicaps. No guarantees
- of any kind are made concerning the output of Golf League
- Recorder. The basic requirements for an official handicap
- index are listed in more detail from the Topics menu.
-
- When a League file is created, Golf League Recorder
- creates a file with the name you selected and attaches
- the .LGE suffix. The .LGE files should be backed up
- from time to time like any other valuable data.
- Also backup your Course.dat and Golflr.dat file.
- League files should only be deleted or removed by using
- the Delete option in the Create/Delete File section.
-
- NOTE: It is best not to delete League files with a utility
- program like the file manager, because the name of the
- league would remain on the Open League Menu List.
