- 2.Tally the scores for a round. This is where you record
- the golfers putts and scores for a round. You also tell
- PC-GOLF whether a round is for handicapping, performance
- or just for practice. You see gross scores, the adjusted
- gross score, putts and strokes displayed here.
-
- To tally scores you need the players scorecard for the round.
- Of course, the player must already be in the players roster and the
- player must have been assigned a home course.
-
- Tallying putts and scores means adding the putts and gross scores
- you have made on each hole at your home course to the players data
- bank. Keeping track of a player's putts and scores for a sizable
- number of rounds is an important feature of PC-GOLF. The players
- data bank will hold a player's scores and putts for several hundred
- rounds. The number of rounds to be added or kept in the player's data
- bank is up to you. You are the best judge of when to erase scores and
- putts from the data bank and make a fresh start. PC-GOLF gives you
- control over the contents of the player's data bank. It is up to you
- whether or not to include the gross scores from any round in the
- player's data bank. The player's data bank is used to prepare the
- hole-by-hole performance you see in the player's score sheets.
-
- After you ENTER the players gross scores, PC-GOLF computes
- the adjusted gross scores according to USGA rules, as follows:
-
- HANDICAP LIMITATION ON HOLE SCORE
- Plus or scratch-Limit of one over par on any hole.
- 1 through 18 -Limit of two over par on number of holes equal to
- handicap. Limit of one over par on balance of holes.
- 19 through 36 -Limit of three over par on as many holes as the
- handicap exceeds 18 strokes. Limit of two over par
- on balance of holes.
- 37 through 40 -For women golfers only. Limit of four over par on as
- many holes as the handicap exceeds 36 strokes. Limit
- of three over par on balance of holes.
-
- USGA note: The adjusted gross score shall be returned for
- handicap purposes every time a player completes an 18-hole round,
- no matter where it is played.
-
- You can TALLY a player's gross scores for any course which is in
- the golf course list, whether or not it is the players home course.
- In the TALLY display you will see a comparison of the player's gross
- score, the adjusted gross score and par for each hole.
-
- The players handicap is calculated using USGA rules. It is
- determined by taking the average of the lowest 10 of the last 20
- differentials, multiplying by 96 percent and rounding off to the
- the nearest whole number. If less than 20 scores have been tallied,
- the rules are: For players with less than 5 scores there is no USGA
- handicap. However, to accommodate players during the first four
- rounds, the lowest of the four differentials is used to determine
- the players handicap.
-
- For 5 to 19 differentials the rules are: For 5, 6 or 7 rounds
- use the lowest 1, 2 or 3 differentials respectively. For 8 or 9
- rounds use the lowest 4; for 10 or 11, use the lowest 5; for 12 or 13,
- use the lowest 6; for 14 or 15, use the lowest 7; for 16 or 17, use
- the lowest 8; and for 18 or 19 rounds use the lowest 9 differentials.
- Any handicap which was determined from less than the last twenty
- differentials is given a suffix of T, e.g. 12T.
-
- A handicap differential is the difference between a player's
- adjusted gross score and the course rating of the course where the
- score was made. This definition highlights the importance of the
- course rating in the handicapping system.
-
-
- PC-GOLF's handicap calculations produce results identical to
- those of any golf club or association which computes and maintains
- handicaps in accordance with the USGA Handicap System. PC-GOLF does
- not, however, purport to establish a handicap authorized, sponsored
- or approved by the USGA. There are times when, for perfectly legiti-
- mate reasons, you do not want to include a round in the handicap
- calculations. PC-GOLF gives you that option.
-
- Putting is half the game. You can ENTER a player's putting
- scores for any course which is in the golf course list, whether or not
- it is the players home course. In the TALLY display you will see a
- comparison of the player's putts, gross scores, strokes and par for
- each hole. Putting scores which are ENTERed for rounds at a player's
- home course will be saved in the players data bank. The players data
- bank is used to prepare the home course hole-by-hole performance you
- will see in the players score sheets.
-
- The limits for putts and scores are 1 through 4 and 1 through 9,
- respectively. A "zero putt", which results from a "chip in",should be
- entered as a 2 putt. This maintains the net effect of not degrading
- or inflating a player's putting performance with respect to par.
