GolfMeister is a program used to record and analyze golf scores. It keeps statistics on such things as greens in regulation, drives in fairway, eagles, birdies etc.
GolfMeister also allows you to print out various reports on items entered. It can print a course listing, a round listing (complete and by course) and various copies of the cards entered.
Using it
GolfMeister allows you to keep the scores of more than one person by using a separate document for each person. You create a new document by choosing New from the file menu. Ballow help is available if you have any questions.
You record scores by first entering the course. Either click on the Add button beside courses or choose Add Course from the Courses menu. You then fill in the appropriate information ( name, pars, yardages, handicap hole etc.) for the course.
You can now start entering scores for that course. You do this by selecting the course and clicking on the Add button beside Rounds. You can then enter the appropriate information for the round.
Terms
Strokes

Putts

A value assigned to a course to do evaluation differentials (hint: maybe a good place to put course rating).

How to Register GolfMeister
GolfMeister is shareware and as such requires registration if you are going to use it beyond the 2 week trial period. The shareware fee for GolfMeister is $15US.
Paying for GolfMeister is fairly simple. Open the Register program the accomplanies GolfMeister. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of copies you wish to purchase. Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data to Kagi. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Please include an email address (if possible) where you can reached so that I can keep you up to date on new releases and news about GolfMeister.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-BZ
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.
Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
I can be reached at that address, by phone (416) 255-3719 or by email at barking@kagi.com or at ramjet@inforamp.net or by post at:
58 Westhead Road
