Prior to using the Handicap System and Tournament Manager programs, we had a much more expensive program. These programs are so much easier to use, more versatile, and more satisfying in all respects. We have considered going online with a service and rejected it because these programs give us immediate and full control over our local tournaments, which is impossible with an outside service. The cost of these programs is very reasonable and you won't find a better company to work with anywhere.

Providing a golf handicap for your group allows you to establish a baseline for competitions and tournaments. A handicap is essential for anyone playing on a regular basis. Many people brag about their golf handicaps and how they're a scratch golfer or that their handicap is steadily going down. Seems strange that their golf handicaps suddenly go higher as tournament time approaches. Using Handicap System will help you prevent sandbagging and manage each golfer's handicap more effectively.

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 notes for a golfer.
• Stores any number of outings 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. Tee names/colors can also be customized by you.
• Tracks number of scores since season start and last handicap revision. 

Calculate Handicaps

• USGA golf handicap 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.

• Software can also "emulate" (not certified) Royal Canadian Golf Association handicapping rules for our Canadian users.

• Calculates index and course handicaps. Converts index to course handicap for any golf course and tee.
• Flexible CUSTOM HANDICAPS (Setup your own handicapping parameters) Option for calculating golf handicaps to one or two decimal places. Use custom handicaps for intra-club or league play.
• Change calculation modes at any time!
• 18 or 9 hole handicapping
• Option to combine 9 hole scores to produce an 18 hole score. When you combine two 9 hole scores to form an 18 hole score, 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.
• Option to set a "hard" revision date. Only scores prior to the revision date will be used for handicaps. If you post scores after the revision date they will NOT change the golfer's handicap.
• Option to calculate a "history" handicap. A "history" handicap lets you compare one handicap to another.

Print reports in portrait or landscape mode.
• The Handicap and mailing labels have a perfect alignment option, so the labels print perfectly each time.

• SAVE to disk, in case you ever need to load a report into your word processor or send through E-mail.
• EXPORT into HTML file format or directly to Microsoft Excel's native format. HTML is the universal format for viewing on the web or transferring reports and data from one program to another. This means you can view/import into any program that supports HTML without losing any formatting.
• Publish reports and lists directly to your website.
• Pass reports to others. As long as they have a web browser, MS Word, MS Excel, or any program that reads HTML, they can view the report. Most programs now support HTML.
