Import Players



Overview


Importing golfers is by far the most efficient way to enter your golfers into League Manager. There are four acceptable file types:


  1. Comma separated values (CSV)
  2. Tab delimited (.txt or text)
  3. Space delimited values
  4. Semicolon delimited values


The most common delimiters are the comma (CSV) and tab (in text files).


Your files may not look exactly like those below nor contain the same columns. However, your files must contain each player's information on one horizontal row as shown in the two examples below where vertical columns are separated by a comma or tab.


Example of comma delimited file:


Example of tab delimited file:
