Summary

Handicap System is a powerful and flexible online golf handicap system that lets your organization calculate handicaps. The administrative panel provides an easy-to-use spreadsheet-style interface (just like filling out a form!). Provides the fastest possible data input (click one button to enter a new score). Or better yet, let your members post their own scores via the web. Handicap System also provides fast selection and sorting - sort your rosters in any fashion. Handicap System can handle from 1 to 999,999 golfers per roster. And Handicap System supports an unlimited number of rosters (you can build separate rosters for men, women, different organizations, etc.). Most important, Handicap System is easy to use! Computer novice is assumed. You'll be up and running in 15 minutes.

Maintain Handicap Information

• Complete membership information (name, index, handicap, addresses, phone numbers, email, ID#, group, flight, dues, birthday, etc.) plus customizable fields for each golfer. Name these fields anything you wish to track anything you want. You can even track any number of comments for a golfer.
• Stores both 9 and 18 hole rounds for each golfer - including play dates, courses played, tees, holes, and scores. If you choose to enter scores hole-by-hole, this info is saved for later review. Hole-by-hole entry looks just like a score card.
• Add, drop, or update golfers and scoring information at any time.
• Multiple rosters (Separate by sex, flight, age, etc.).
• Any number of courses can be tracked. Maintains course names, addresses, tees, ratings, slopes, yards, pars, and more. Add a new course anytime. You can have any number of tees per course with a custom tee name/color.
• Tracks number of scores since season start and last handicap revision. 

Calculate Handicaps

• USGA (United States Golf Association) formula. Includes current Equitable Stroke Control and Exceptional Tournament Performance implementation. Uses the exact USGA nomenclature. Note: Only organizations in accordance with the provisions set forth in the USGA Handicap System(tm) manual are permitted to calculate USGA Handicap Indexes(R). See www.usga.org for more details.
• RCGA (Royal Canadian Golf Association) formula. Can "emulate" (not certified) RCGA handicapping rules for our Canadian users. Uses the exact RCGA nomenclature.
• CUSTOM formula. Calculate handicaps anyway you wish. Very flexible. Setup your own handicapping parameters. Handicaps can be calculated up to 3 decimal places. If you don't think Handicap System can calculate handicaps the way your organization currently plays, please call (919-460-7424) or email (sales@golfsoftware.com).
• Calculates course handicaps for any number of courses. Converts index, factor, or custom handicap to course handicap for any golf courses and tee.
• Switch calculation modes/formulas at any time!
• 18 or 9 hole handicapping (Switch between 18 and 9 hole at anytime)
• Automatically combines 9 hole scores to produce an 18 hole score. Even if you calculate 18 hole handicaps the program lets you select nine hole courses. No need to memorize rating and slopes, or retype these each time.
• Optional hole-by-hole entry with Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). Just like filling out a scorecard.
• Support USGA, RCGA, or custom Equitable Stroke Control
