- 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 Golfers, 50 different Golf
- Courses and 8,000 games (1,000 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

- 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.
