Ghost Substitutes

The first five substitutes in the substitute list are the “Ghost Subs”.  By default, each ghost sub is called “Ghost Sub”.  But you can name each ghost sub anything you wish. For example, you could name a blind draw ghost “Blind Draw”, a ghost that shoots the leagues’ average “League Average”, a ghost that shoots the player’s average “Player’s Average” etc.  Each Ghost may be customized for any situation your league encounters:

• Predefined Score – Ghost can shoot a set predefined score with a predefined handicap.
• Manual Draw – You can select any player’s score/handicap to use as the ghost’s score.
• Blind Draw – League Manager randomly selects a player’s score/handicap to use as the ghost’s score.
• Missing Partner – Ghost shoots the score/handicap of the partner that showed up.
• Player’s average – Ghost shoots the missing player’s average score and average handicap. Average can be based on any number of events or range of events.
• League’s average – Ghost shoots the league’s average score and average handicap.  Average can be based on just the current events scores, or any number/range of past events.  You can also select to include ALL golfers or just those in a particular flight(s) for inclusion in calculating the league average.
• Any value – To cover ANY “exception to the rule” you always have the option to type in a score and handicap for a ghost right on the scorecard.

Most leagues have only one type of ghost, but the option is there for up to five different kinds of ghosts.  Once ghost parameters are set they should remain the same throughout the season!  Note: A ghost can substitute any number of times.  To change the Ghost’s name or how it distributes points, double click on the ghost or highlight the “GHOST SUB #” player, and click the Edit Player button.

1. “Ghost wins points for... No points, Substituted Player, Substituted Team”
   If you want the ghost to win points for the substituted player, mark option for substituted player.
   If you want the ghost to win points for the team, mark option for substituted team.
2. “Ghost can only win a maximum of X points”  If you have a maximum number of points the Ghost can win, type that here...otherwise if there is no maximum set it to 99 (Ghost can win any number of points).
3. “Ghost’s opponent wins at least X points”.   This option lets the ghost’s opponent win at least X points.

Make Up \ Matched Cards

Some leagues allow a player to make up a score.  If he\she does not show up, no score is posted.  The next time the player shows, his score is posted twice; once for the current event, and again for the past event.  To post a match card:

1. Post the score for the current event.
2. Move back to the past event.
3. Enter the score for the past event.
4. Most leagues do not let this score (which has been entered twice) count towards the handicap.  To remedy the problem you must override\lock the “No show’s” scorecard (for this event).  You want to remove the adjusted gross score, which is used to calculate a handicap.

1. Pull up the “Player Information” form.
2. Enter and lock the adjusted gross score to 0.  The score will not be considered for handicapping.
