Appendix A - Explanation of the Callaway Handicapping System
i
1 Introduction
The Callaway Handicap Machine is a simple to use program that
I wrote when I got tired of handicapping golf tournaments
using a pencil and calculator. This I found took quite long,
and was prone to error, due to the fact that I never wanted to
miss out on the golf banquet fun while performing this tedious
task.
The Callaway Handicapper is a quick and easy way of scoring a
golf tournament using the standard Callaway Handicap System
(which is included as appendix A of this document). It is
written in Clipper version 5.0.
Just as a warning, CHM has been built as a single user
application and is not meant to be accessed simultaneously.
The results of network use should not harm anything, however
CHM will react unfavorably at best.
1.1 System Requirments
To run the Callaway Handicap Machine you must have an IBM or
Compatible PC with at least 512k and a hard drive.
1.2 Disclaimer
CHM is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
indirect, which may result from the use of CHM. CHM is a
freeware program provided at no charge to the user. Feel free
to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away
altered or as part of another system.

2 First Time Installation
1. Make a sub-directory for CHM on your hard drive using the
DOS MKDIR command.
2. Copy all CHM files into that sub-directory. Make note as
there should be only two files. These are CHM.EXE(the
run file for CHM), and CHM.DOC(this file).
3. Once this is done, type CHM <Ret>. The Callaway
Handicapper Looks for a configuration file. If it
doesn't find one it assumes first time installation, and
gives you the setup screen. Refer to section 3.5 on how
to use this screen.
4. Once this is done, CHM automatically brings up the main
menu screen.
3 Menu Options
The main menu has 7 options to choose from. These give you
the opportunity to do several things.
3.1 Starting a New Tournament
When you are scoring a Tourament, The first thing you must do
is define the course you are scoring against. This gives CHM
something to base maximum scores on.
When you choose option 1 from the main menu, you are are asked
to enter a name. This is usually some eight cahracter
abreviation of the tournament name.
Once this is entered, the course data screen is displayed.
Simply enter the name of the course and the listed par for
each hole. CHM will then calculate the front and back par
automatically.
This file is now the default file for scoring.
3.1 Open Existing Tournament File
If you are like me, you will want to define the new tournament
a few days ahead to save time on tourney day. When you have
to enter the scores, choose option 2 and a pulldown menu is
displayed containing the names of all the tournament files on
your system. Use the cursor keys to move the highlight bar to
the one you wish to open and hit the Return key. The current
file field on the main menu screen will always reflect the
current open file.
1
3.2 Edit Current Tournament File
Once the file is open, choose option 3 to add or edit the
file. This will activate a pulldown menu with the follwing
options:
Add New Score
Edit Existing Score
Change Course Info
Clear Current Database
3.2.1 Adding a Player's Score
As the golfers bring you their score cards, Choose the Add
function. Enter the name of the golfer, then enter is hole by
hole score as it appears on the card. CHM will adjust for any
score above the Callaway maximum for that hole.
When you are done, CHM will ask you to verify your entry. CHM
defaults to 'Y'.
3.2.2 Editing a Player's Score
If you make a mistake on a given player and wish to go back to
correct it, Choose the Edit function. This will give you a
pulldown menu of all the players whose scores have been
entered. Use the cursor keys to move the highlight bar to the
one you wish to edit and hit the Return key. from this piont
the edit works the same as the add.
3.3.3 Changing Course info
This is to be used in the event that the course information
you keyed in is incorrect. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED YOU USE THIS
FUNCTION AFTER SCORES ARE ENTERED BECAUSE THESE SCORES WILL
NOT BE RECALCULATED!!!!!!!
3.3.4 Clearing Database
Using this option will clear all player names and scores from
the database without clearing the course info. This allows
you to enter another tournament's scores over an old
tournament at the same course.
3.4 Generate Report
After all the scores are entered, choose option 4 to show the
standings. you are given the option of displaying the results
to the screen or to a defined printer. The names are listed
in in low net/low gross order.
2
example: Player1 has a gross 89 and net 78
Player2 has a gross 88 and net 78
The report would list Player2 in 1st place and Player1 in 2nd
The report tells you the following items for each golfer:
Tournament placing
Player name
'Out' Score
'In' Score
Gross score
Net score
Hole by Hole score
Holes dropped(* indicates ½ hole)
3.5 System Setup
When you first startup CHM you are automatically placed here.
If you wish to change any of the system parameters, you can
get here by choosing option 5.
The screen is divided in half, the top half displaying what
parameters are currently defined.
You are first asked to pick a printer port (default is LPT1).
IF you haven't got a printer, but would like the output to go
to a file name, choose the DOS FILE entry, then pick a DOS
acceptable file name. This will become your 'printer'.
Next you are asked to pick a directory to store your data
files (default is the current directory). If you wish to store
them elsewhere, enter the directory name (CAUTION: make sure
the directory exists because CHM will not create it).
Last, you are asked if you want to round ½ strokes up (the
Callaway default). You can elect not to.
3.6 DOS Shell
By choosing option 6, you are given acces to DOS. After you
have executed the commands you wish, type in 'EXIT' to return
to CHM.
3.7 Quitting CHM
Option 7 from the main menu quits the program. Everything is
automatically saved and all files are prolerly closed upon
exit.

APPENDIX A
THE "OFFICIAL" CALLAWAY HANDICAP SYSTEM
Under the Callaway System a player's handicap is determined after each round
by deducting from his gross score for 18 holes the scores of the worst
individual holes during the first 16 holes. The table below shows the number
of "worst hole" scores he may deduct and the adjustments to be made, based
on his gross score.For instance, if his gross score for 18 holes is 96, he
turns to the table and finds that he may deduct the total for his three worst
holes scored on holes 1 through 16 inclusive. Thus, if he has one 9, one 8,
and a 7, his handicap totals 24. From this total further plus or minus is
then made according to the adjustment shown at the bottom of each column.
For a gross score of 96 the adjustment requires a deduction of 2, resulting
in a final handicap of 22. Thus 96 minus 22 handicap equals a net score of
74.
Score Deduct
.. .. 70 71 72 SCRATCH - No Adjustment
73 74 75 .. .. ½ Worst Hole and Adjustment
76 77 78 79 80 1 Worst Hole and Adjustment
81 82 83 84 85 1½ Worst Holes and Adjustment
86 87 88 89 90 2 Worst Holes and Adjustment
91 92 93 94 95 2½ Worst Holes and Adjustment
96 97 98 99 100 3 Worst Holes and Adjustment
101 102 103 104 105 3½ Worst Holes and Adjustment
106 107 108 109 110 4 Worst Holes and Adjustment
111 112 113 114 115 4½ Worst Holes and Adjustment
116 117 118 119 120 5 Worst Holes and Adjustment
121 122 123 124 125 5½ Worst Holes and Adjustment
126 127 128 129 130 6 Worst Holes and Adjustment
Maximum Handicap - 50
ADJUSTMENT
-2 -1 0 +1 +2 Add or Deduct to Handicap
NOTES: 1. No hole may be scored at more than twice its par.
2. Half strokes count as whole.
3. The 17th and 18th are never deducted.
4. In case of ties lowest handicap takes preference.
A1
AMENDED CALLAWAY SYSTEM FOR PAR-3 COURSES
Score: 54 or under, no deduction; 55-57 inclusive, deduct ½ worst hole; 58-
62, deduct 1 worst hole; 63-67, deduct 1 worst hole plus ½ next worst; 68-72,
deduct 2 worst holes; 73-77, deduct 2½ worst holes; 78-82, deduct 3 worst;
83-87, deduct 3½ worst holes; 88-92, deduct 4 worst holes; 93-97, deduct 4½
worst holes; 98-102, deduct 5 worst; 103-107, deduct 5½ worst; 108 and up,
deduct 6 worst holes, the limit.
Note - Half strokes count as whole; never deduct 17th and 18th hole
scores; the lower handicap takes preference in ties.
An example; his round on a par-3 reads like this: 354 435 444-35; 473 424
346-37-73. He now deducts the two worst holes, plus ½ of the next worst.
That 6 at 18 is the second worst but cannot be counted. So a 7 and 5 are
knocked off,and one-half of another 5, with that half-stroke counting as a
whole,and the total comes to 15. That is his handicap, so the net score is
58, or 4 over par.
