PC-GOLF will help you improve your golf game. The program
is easy to use and understand. It is a very friendly program.
PC-GOLF is written especially for the amateur golfer and for the
IBM Personal Computer. Use it with confidence that it will help
raise your level of achievement and enjoyment on the course.
Player performance is the primary subject of the program. It
keeps track of your scores and your putts for each hole on your
home course. It shows you how you are doing on each hole.
PC-GOLF helps you concentrate on the main event so you can see
where improvement is most desirable and most likely to be
achieved. It will even mark the holes you should not accept
or offer presses on.
PC-GOLF can help you and your foursome to lower scores.
PC-GOLF's menu gives you six choices.
1. Introduction.
2. Tally the scores for a round.
3. Get the golfer's score sheet.
4. Get the golf course list.
5. Get the golfer's roster.
6. Quit. Going to the 19th hole.
1.Introduction. You are using the introduction now. This
tells you what each part of the menu does. The methods
used for prompting and giving directions to PC-GOLF
are explained.
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 the gross and the adjusted
gross scores here too.
3. Get the golfer's score sheet. This is where you see each
golfers performance in nine tables and charts. You see
putt and stroke averages for each hole. The double
diamond flag marks the holes where you should not press
your opponents. See your Personal Best scores here.
4. Get the golf course list. This is where you add, change
and delete courses and provide the information about par,
course rating and hole handicaps. You also review the
golf course information here. The course list holds nine
golf courses.
5. Get the golfer's roster. This is where you add, change
and delete players, assign the players home course and
initial handicap. You also review the golfer's roster here.
The roster holds sixteen golfers.
6. Quit. Going to the 19th hole. This provides a smooth
exit from PC-GOLF and a return to IBM DOS.
Remember, first things fourth. That is where you start to
use PC-GOLF. You add golf course information first. The second
thing to do is add golfer information. Once the course and player
information has been added you are ready to tally scores. When you
have tallied scores for a golfer, then you can see that players
performance in the score sheets. This view of player performance
has not been available before. It provides visibility and allows
the golfer to concentrate on the "main event" to raise his or her
level of achievement.
PC-GOLF welcomes men and women golfers to a clear view of
their performance. The professional golf instructor can also use
the convenience and clarity of PC-GOLF to the students benefit.
Answering prompts and giving directions to PC-GOLF is easy.
You do it in two ways. For one example. Just below the six item
menu you will see the message:
"You're away!"
"PRESS the number of your choice. (1,2,3,4,5 or 6)".
You do just what the prompt requests. You touch, type or strike
the key which is the "number of your choice". As soon as you
strike the key, PC-GOLF will act according to your choice.
For the other example. You will see a kind of message which
asks for information.
"ENTER the player's phone number,e.g. 555-1212 ".
Again, you do just what the prompt requests. In this case, you
type in the players telephone number, 123-4567, and then touch,
type or strike the ENTER key. As soon as you strike the ENTER
key, PC-GOLF will act on the information you have ENTERed.
To answer prompts and give directions to PC-GOLF you simply
PRESS a key or ENTER information. What about typo's?
Whenever you PRESS a key or ENTER information and then say
"OOPS", you will find a friend in PC-GOLF. The program is very
forgiving. It allows you to make corrections to any input. So,
don't worry about typing mistakes. You can make corrections.
Another friendly aspect of PC-GOLF lies in its anticipation
of a potentially messy mistake. One such mistake would be to
erase the scores that a player has in the data bank before you
were really ready to do so. To prevent the messy mistake from
happening, PC-GOLF asks you if you really want to do what you
said you wanted to do. In other words, you have a chance to
change your mind when the potential exists for a messy mistake.

3. Get the golfer's score sheet. This is where you see each
golfers performance in nine tables and charts. You see
putt and stroke averages for each hole. The double
diamond flag marks the holes where you should not press
your opponents. See your Personal Best scores here.
This choice in the menu provides something unique and special
to the golfer. Here you can see the hole-by-hole performance of
each player in the golfers roster. There are nine displays for
showing the players putting performance and an additional nine
displays for showing the players scoring performance. Each of the
nine displays can be printed by holding one of the Shift keys
down and then pressing the PrtSc key. Five of the displays are
tables, three are bar charts and one is a graph.
PC-GOLF keeps your gross scores and putts for each hole on
your home course. You can keep several hundred rounds of scores and
putts for each hole on your course. Each time you enter scores or
putts into the data bank, the new values are tested against the
previous lows. The lowest of these two scores, for each hole, is
saved in the data bank. This lets you see your personal best
scores and putts for each hole. PC-GOLF also keeps track of your
last twenty gross scores and your last twenty putting scores.
From this you can see your average gross score and putting score
for, up to twenty rounds. PC-GOLF also keeps track of your
all-time-low gross score and putting score.
Your scores are shown as gross scores, as averages and as the
popular plus/minus average. For example; rounds of ninety, eighty
four and eighty eight would be seen as 90, 84, 88 in the gross
score form. These scores would be seen as the sum of the three
scores divided by three, or 87.3, in the average score format.
Scores for individual holes can be shown in plus/minus form,
where a bogie is a plus one and a birdie is a minus one. Extending
this, a double bogie is plus two and an eagle is minus two. The
major advantage of this form is that all scores displayed this way
are shown relative to par. After all, that's what golf is all
about. Trying to make par, or better, on as many of the holes as
you can. The plus/minus displays show you how you are doing with
respect to par. In the case of putts, where par is always two,
a three putt is plus one and a one putt is minus one. The
plus/minus displays show your putts and scores relative to par.
This is a clear view of hole-by-hole performance. It provides real
visibility so you can easily pinpoint the most likely holes for
improving your game.
Now, a few words about the nine displays. The displays show
either your gross scores or putts. You make this choice from the
score sheet menu.
Hole Handicap sequence table. With this display, you can see
your scores in sequence according to the level of difficulty of
each hole. Average scores and plus/minus average scores are shown.
You can see right away how you do on the most difficult and least
difficult holes.
Plus/Minus sequence table. With this display, you can see
the players scores in sequence according to plus/minus averages.
Average scores and plus/minus average scores are shown. You can
see right away which holes you score the lowest on and the holes
where your scores are the highest.
Average Scores. With this display you can see your average
score for for every hole on your home course. You can compare
the average score on every hole to par for that hole. A special
grouping of average scores is shown for the par three, par four
and par five holes. You can tell at a glance whether you score
best on the par three, par four or par five holes.
Potpourri. This displays a collection of scores. The gross
scores for up to the last twenty rounds and the average of those
scores. Your lowest score of all your rounds to date is also
displayed. You get an overall picture of your past performance
from this display.
Personal Best. With this display you can see the lowest
scores you have made on each hole on your home course. You see
the number of rounds used to reach these scores and your low
score total is displayed. As of the date of the display, this
is your personal best score for each hole. If you put it all
together, for eighteen holes, this is your finest round.
Bar Charts. There are three bar charts showing your scores
and putts in the plus/minus average form. The vertical range of the
charts is from -1 to +4. This covers average scores from birdie to
quadruple bogey. The horizontal range of the charts is from 1 to 18.
This covers each hole on your course. For putts, the vertical range
covers everything from a one putt to a four putt.
Average Scores Bar Chart. With this display you can see your
average score for each hole on your home course in the plus/minus
form. The double-diamond flag shows any holes that you should
not start presses on. If a hole has been flagged use discretion
in pressing an opponent.
Hole Handicap Bar Chart. With this display you can see the
effect that difficulty level has on your scores. You can readily
see how you score on the most difficult and the least difficult
holes on your course.
Low-to High Score Bar Chart. With this display you see your
scores in low score to high score sequence. You can easily see
the holes where you make the lowest scores and the holes where you
make the highest scores. The holes that are the best candidates
for improvement of your game are apparent in this display.
The Trend Chart. This shows a graph of the players last 20
gross scores or putts. However, it can be used as soon as you
tally at least one round. The vertical range of the chart is 20
strokes. If any score is 20 or more strokes higher than the lowest
score, then that score is shown as the low score plus 19.

APLAYER.TXT
5. Get the golfer's roster. This is where you add, change and
delete players, assign a player's home course and initial
handicap and erase a players score sheet. You also review
the golfer's roster here. The roster holds sixteen players.
Adding golfers to the roster is the second thing to be done in
getting ready to use PC-GOLF. Use the ADD option for this. After
you have added a player to the roster you can check the information
for accuracy. Use the REVIEW option to display the golfer's roster.
Use the CHANGE option to correct any errors or make changes. Use the
DELETE option to remove a player from the roster.
You build the roster by adding players names and phone numbers.
You must also identify each player as a man or woman golfer. This
is required because the upper limit of the USGA handicap is different
for men and women golfers. You will also provide the players initial
handicaps. You must identify the home course and the tee from which
each golfer usually plays. There will be times when you want to
"wipe the scoring sheet clean" for a player. Use the ERASE option for
this. Erasing scores or putts does not affect the players handicap in
any way.

6. QUIT. Going to the 19th hole. This provides a smooth
exit from PC-GOLF by safeguarding the players data
bank and returning to DOS.
This session with PC-GOLF is over. If you have tallied any
scores or made changes to the players roster or course list, this
is the time for making a backup copy of your PC-GOLF diskette.
If something should happen to your PC-GOLF diskette, you could
recover simply by using the backup copy to create a new PC-GOLF
diskette.

ATALLY.TXT
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.

INTRODUCTION
PC-GOLF will help you improve your golf game. The program
is easy to use and understand. It is a very friendly program.
PC-GOLF is written especially for the amateur golfer and for the
IBM Personal Computer. Use it with confidence that it will help
raise your level of achievement and enjoyment on the course.
Player performance is the primary subject of the program. It
keeps track of your scores and your putts for each hole on your
home course. It shows you how you are doing on each hole.
PC-GOLF helps you concentrate on the main event so you can see
where improvement is most desirable and most likely to be
achieved. It will even mark the holes you should not accept or
offer presses on. PC-GOLF can help you improve your game.
The main menu is the first thing you see when you use
PC-GOLF. See, below, that PC-GOLF's menu gives you six
choices. To help explain the menu and how to tell PC-GOLF what
you want to do, we will use arrows and brackets throughout the
users guide.
The left pointing arrows <----- are used to give you
explanations and instructions. Also, notice the choices you are
instructed to make are enclosed in brackets [].
This is how it works. PC-GOLF shows you a menu with
several items and asks you to make a choice. When you make your
choice, PC-GOLF responds accordingly.

PRESS the number of your choice. (1,2,3,4,5 or 6). [1]<---press
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is how the menu system works. PC-GOLF shows you the main
menu and asks you to make a choice. When you make your choice the
program responds accordingly. Pressing the number one key, for
example, will lead you to the part entitled "Introduction". This
part of PC-GOLF tells you what each part of the menu does. The
Introduction is a brief, "on-line" user's guide and is helpful in
reviewing what each part of the menu does. We will not use the
on-line user's guide in these lessons. Instead, continue to read
the printed Introduction - Lesson 1. You see that pressing the
number of your choice leads you to the desired part of PC-GOLF.
You're itching to press the number one key are'nt you?
.EJECT
O.K. Brackets surround the number one key and the message
says to do it so go ahead. Got some action there alright. Now
you can answer with [N]<-----PRESS. You can alternately PRESS the
number 1 key and the letter N if you wish. You can also make any
other choice in the menu and answer with the letter N. This shows
you are in control through the menu system. Let's continue.
Each of the six items in the main menu serves a special
purpose. The six parts of PC-GOLF work together to give you
a new insight into your game . A brief explanation of each
of the options follows.
1. Introduction. This tells you what each part of the menu
does. The methods used for prompting and giving directions to
PC-GOLF are explained. Samples are included in the data bank to
help you get familiar with the way the program works.
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 the gross and the adjusted gross scores here
too.
3. Get the golfer's score sheet. This is where you see each
golfers performance in tables and bar charts. You see putt and
stroke averages for each hole. The double diamond flag marks
the holes where you should not press your opponents. See your
Personal Best scores here.
4. Get the golf course list. This is where you add, change
and delete courses and provide the information about par, course
rating and hole handicaps. You also review the golf course
information here. The course list holds nine golf courses.
5. Get the golfer's roster. This is where you add, change
and delete players, assign the players home course and initial
handicap. You also review the golfer's roster here. The roster
holds sixteen golfers.
6. Quit. Going to the 19th hole. This saves your data,
provides a smooth exit from PC-GOLF and a return to DOS.
Remember, first-things-fourth. That is where you start to
use PC-GOLF. You add golf course information first. The second
thing to do is add golfer information. Once the course and player
information has been added you're ready to tally scores. When you
have tallied scores for a golfer, then you can see the players
performance in the score sheets. This view of player performance
has not been available before. It provides visibility and allows
the golfer to concentrate on the "main event" to raise his or her
level of achievement.
PC-GOLF welcomes men and women golfers to a clear view of
their performance. The professional golf instructor can also use
the convenience and clarity of PC-GOLF to the students benefit.
.EJECT
Answering prompts and giving directions to PC-GOLF is easy.
You do it in two ways. For one example. Just below the six item
menu you will see the message:
"You're away!"
"PRESS the number of your choice. (1,2,3,4,5 or 6)".
You do just what the prompt requests. You touch, type or
strike the key which is the "number of your choice". As soon as
you strike the key, PC-GOLF will act accordingly.
For the other example. You will see a kind of message which
asks for information. One such message is listed below.
"ENTER the player's phone number,e.g. 555-1212 ".
Again, you do just what the prompt requests. In this case,
you type in the players telephone number, 123-4567, and then
touch, type or strike the ENTER key. As soon as you strike the
ENTER key, PC-GOLF will act on the information you have ENTERed.
To answer prompts and give directions to PC-GOLF you simply
PRESS a key or ENTER information. What about typo's?
Whenever you PRESS a key or ENTER information and then say
"OOPS", you will find a friend in PC-GOLF. The program is very
forgiving. It allows you to make corrections to any input. So,
don't worry about typing mistakes. You can make corrections.
Another friendly aspect of PC-GOLF lies in its anticipation
of a potentially messy mistake. One such mistake would be to
erase the scores that a player has in the data bank before you
were really ready to do so. To prevent the messy mistake from
happening, PC-GOLF asks you if you really want to do what you
said you wanted to do, before actually doing it. In other words,
you have a chance to change your mind when the potential exists
for a messy mistake.
Pauses are used to give you all the time you need to decide
your next step or to view a display of your scores or putts. The
usual message associated with a pause is:
"PRESS the space bar to continue."
The pause may or may not be accompanied by an audible BEEP.
In either case, just press the space bar to proceed.
Sample data is provided to help you get familiar with the way
PC-GOLF works. Three fictitious golf courses and four fictitious
players are included in the data bank. The player named Sam Smith
has gross scores in the data bank, but no putting scores. Bill
Baker has both gross scores and putting scores in the data bank.
Dan Duffer and Jane Jones have no scores at all. You can use these
fictitious players and courses to find out how to make changes,
how to tally scores and how to display the players score sheets.
Practicing helps. So use the fictitious samples to get familiar
with how the program works.

USER'S GUIDE
PC-GOLF's User's Guide helps you learn how to use PC-GOLF.
The Guide helps you learn all about the program in a short time.
There are six lessons altogether. Each lesson explains one part
of the program. As you complete a lesson you are ready to use that
part of PC-GOLF. The six lessons cover the six menu options.
The very first thing you must do is make a PC-GOLF RUN
DISKETTE to use while you take the lessons. Here's how to do it.
1. Insert your DOS Diskette which also contains BASIC in the
A Drive. BOOT UP DOS. Make responses to Date and Time prompts.
2. Insert a new or unused diskette in DRIVE B.
This diskette will become the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE.
In the following steps you are to type in the information
enclosed by brackets [].
<enter> means you are to press the ENTER key.
<------ used for explanations.
SS means Single Sided disk drives.
DS means Double Sided disk drives.
F6 means the Function Key labeled F6.
3. Now to format the RUN DISKETTE with the System files option.
A>[FORMAT B:/S]<enter> <---format the disk in drive B:
insert new diskette for drive B:
and strike any key when ready <---do what it says

14336 bytes used by system <----13824 for SS drives
308224 bytes available on disk <---146432 for SS drives
Format another (Y/N)?[N] <---the answer is no.
4. To put a copy of BASICA on the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE.
A>[COPY A:BASICA.COM B:]<enter> <---copy BASICA onto the
BASICA COM PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE
1 File(s) copied <---if the files message says 1
File(s) copied, you must skip
STEP 4a and do STEP 5 next.
<---if the files message says 0
File(s) copied do STEP 4a.
.EJECT
4a To put a copy of BASIC on the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE.
A>[COPY A:BASIC.COM B:]<enter> <---copy BASIC onto the
BASIC COM PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE
1 File(s) copied <---if the files message says 0

and store it in a safe place, away from magnetic fields.
REMOVE your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE from the B Drive.
INSERT your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE into the A Drive.
7. Check the autoexec file for a match with BASICA.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file uses BASICA.
If STEP 4 did show BASICA then you must skip to STEP 9.
If STEP 4 did not show BASICA and STEP 4a did show BASIC
then you must do STEP 8.
8. Make the autoexec file use BASIC instead of BASICA.
A>[COPY CON: A:AUTOEXEC.BAT]<enter> <---create autoexec file
[DATE]<enter>
[TIME]<enter>
[BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5]<enter> <---use BASIC
Press the F6 KEY(not the letter F and number 6)<enter>
^Z <---this is what you get when you press the F6 KEY.
1 File(s) copied <---autoexec file completed
9. That's it! You have made the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE.
Next you should make a BACKUP for the RUN DISKETTE.
Since the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE has System files on it
DISKCOPY must be used to make the BACKUP.
.EJECT
10.To make a BACKUP for the PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE.
Remove your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE from the A Drive.
Insert your DOS Diskette in the A Drive.
Insert a new or unused diskette in the B Drive.
This diskette will become the BACKUP RUN DISKETTE.

GOLFER'S SCORE SHEET
3. Get the golfer's score sheet. This is where you see each
golfers performance in tables and bar charts. You see putt and stroke
averages for each hole. The double diamond flag marks the holes where
you should not press your opponents. You can see your Personal Best
scores here.
This option in PC-GOLF'S main menu provides something unique and
special for the golfer. This option is used to show the hole-by-hole
performance for each player in the golfers roster. There are nine
displays for showing the players putting performance and another nine
displays for the players scoring performance. Five of the nine can
be printed using the PrtSc function of the IBM PC. The four remaining
displays are graphs. This option shows how the golfer is doing on
each and every hole at his home course. The golfer's "Personal Best"
rounds in scoring and putting are displayed here. The primary purpose
of this option is to show the golfer how he is doing plus the holes
where improvement is most likely and most desirable. It provides
visibility into the golfer's game through putts and total strokes.
Sample data is provided to help you to get familiar with the
way PC-GOLF works. For this practice round with the Golfer's Roster,
just follow the arrows <----- and key in the information that is
enclosed in brackets []<-----. Let's start at PC-GOLF'S main menu.
If necessary, Boot Up your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE to get started.

GOLFER'S ROSTER
5. Get the golfer's roster. This is where you add, change and
delete players, assign a player's home course and initial
handicap and erase a players score sheet. You also review
the golfer's roster here. The roster holds sixteen players.
Adding golfers to the roster is the second thing to be done in
getting ready to use PC-GOLF. Use the ADD option for this. After
you have added a player to the roster you can check the information
for accuracy. Use the REVIEW option to display the golfer's roster.
Use the CHANGE option to correct any errors or make changes. Use the
DELETE option to remove a player from the roster.
You build the roster by adding players names and phone numbers.
You must also identify each player as a man or woman golfer. This
is required because the upper limit of the USGA handicap is different
for men and women golfers. You will also provide the players initial
handicaps. You must identify the home course and the tee from which
each golfer usually plays. There will be times when you want to
"wipe the scoring sheet clean" for a player. Use the ERASE option for
this. Erasing scores or putts does not affect the players handicap in
any way.
Sample data is provided to help you to get familiar with the
way PC-GOLF works. For this practice round with the Golfer's Roster,
just follow the arrows <----- and key in the information that is
enclosed in brackets []<-----. Let's start at PC-GOLF'S main menu.
If necessary, Boot Up your PC-GOLF RUN DISKETTE to get started.
After answering the DATE and TIME prompts, there will be a delay

DISCLAIMER:
Diligent efforts have been made to debug this program. However,
it has been my experience that there is usually another bug or two

you should be "lucky" enough to find a bug, please let me know.
I will also appreciate your suggestions for improving PC-GOLF.

PERMISSION TO COPY:
Individuals, computer clubs and other non-profit entities are
granted permission by the Author to copy without fee the PC-GOLF
programs and users guide and to share it with others, provided:
1. No charge is made for the software or documentation. However,
a reasonable charge may be made for the cost of a diskette.
2. Club members are informed of the user-supported concept and
are encouraged to support it with their donations and programs.

----------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONCEPT OF USER SUPPORTED SOFTWARE:
User-supported software is an experiment in economics and in the
distribution of computer programs, based on these beliefs:
1. That the value and utility of software is best assessed by the
user on his or her own computer system.
2. That the creation of personal computer software can and should
be supported by the computing community.
3. That copying of programs and documentation should be encouraged
rather than discouraged.
4. Easy distribution of the software and voluntary payment for its
use eliminates advertising costs and copy protection schemes.
5. Users obtain quality software at reasonable costs. Users can
try it out before buying, and do so at their own pace in their own
home or office.
6. The best programs will survive, based on software quality,
continued updates by the authors and usefulness to the users.
If you too believe in these ideals, your contribution is solicited
to help make it work. Please join the experiment.
------------------------------------------------------------------
OBTAINING USER SUPPORTED SOFTWARE. Anyone may request a copy of a
user-supported program from the program's Author. Supporters must
send blank, formatted 5 1/4 inch diskettes(marked as single-sided
or double-sided) and a self addressed, postage-paid return mailer

from: BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
to : BASIC A:AMAIN.ZRO/I/S:512/F:5
This is a requirement of MS DOS/GW BASIC. The /I switch
prevents dynamic allocation of space during file operations.
Many thanks to Richard Pearson.
2. From Gordon Kaverly in Lennon, Michigan.
Gordon has a Kaypro with a hard disk. He wanted to run from the
hard disk rather than the floppy on drive A. We worked it out
over the telephone. After the telecon, it seemed to me this
should be a standard capability. The constraint that PC-GOLF
was to be run on the A drive has been removed. You can now
load PC-GOLF into any drive you wish. Then when you make the
drive containing PC-GOLF the default drive, it will execute
properly. The original AUTOEXEC.BAT file and a new BATCH file
named PCGOLF.BAT are on the PC-GOLF diskette. You can take
your choice. They look like this:
AUTOEXEC.BAT--> DATE
TIME
BASICA A:AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
PCGOLF.BAT --> DATE
TIME
A:BASICA AMAIN.ZRO/S:512/F:5
If your BASIC is not on drive A, you will have to change the
drive letter in the PC-GOLF.BAT file.
Many thanks to Gordon Kaverly.
3. What to do when you SWITCH to a later VERSION of PC-GOLF !
For example, when you switch from version 1.4 to 1.5, you
undoubtedly want to continue using the same PC-GOLF data
base you were using with the 1.4 version. Well, it's easy
to do that. Here's how.
a. Place the PC-GOLF version 1.4 diskette in the A drive.
b. Place the PC-GOLF version 1.5 diskette in the B drive.
c. Select the A drive as the default drive.
d. When the A> prompt appears, ENTER the following copy
command.
d. A>COPY A:*.DAT B:
The six files which make up your version 1.4 data base will
replace the equivalent files in the version 1.5 data base.
Now you can run the latest version of PC-GOLF programs and
continue to build your personal data base.

4. User's have asked about increasing the number of golfers
beyond the 16 presently allowed. PC-GOLF was written for the
benefit of the individual golfer, a kind of one-on-one thing
for the active amateur golfer and his golfing buddies. There
seems to be a place for another kind of PC-GOLF too, alongside
the 1.x version. There has been some tentative design work
done but nothing definite. If things all come together in the
first half of '86 there could be a version 2.x ready for use
in 1986.

TALLY SCORES
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 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 under the USGA equitable stroke control rule.
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 or 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 ENTER 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.
