504.3RE: HANDICAP SYSTEM NEEDEDRATTLE::TLAPOINTEFri Jan 20 1989 17:4214
    I RAN A GOLF LEAGUE EONS AGO (1984) IN WESTMINSTER AND HAD CONTRACTED
    RICK TREMELO TO DO THE COMPUTERIZED HANDICAPPING.  AS FAR AS I KNOW
    NO ONE COMPLAINED, IN FACT MANY OF THE LEAGUE MEMBERS LOVED IT.
    RICK WAS AN I.S. "GIANT" AND HAD HIS OWN PROGRAM THAT HE HAD WRITTEN.
    WE WERE ONE OF HIS SEVERAL CLIENTS, HE ALSO DID THEM FOR THE
    WESTMINSTER COUNRTY CLUB.  HIS FEE WAS NOMINAL, I BELIEVE IT WAS
    $3.00 PER PERSON, WHICH I ADDED TO THE INITIAL FEE TO JION THE LEAGUE.
    I'M NOT SURE WHERE RICK IS NOW BUT YOU COULD TRY "ELF" OR EVEN
    CONTACTING THE WESTMINSTER CC.  HE LIVED IN WESTMINSTER AT THE TIME
    AND WAS WORKING IN AND OUT OF WMO.  NOTE; I HOPE I SPELLED HIS LAST
    NAME CORRECTLY.  GOOD LUCK AT THE LINKS THIS SPRING!!!

    	Please don't shout!!!!!!  Uppercase lettering indicates shouting!
    
    Use lowercase, it's much easier on the eyes, and is noting etiquette.

    Re:< Note 504.0 by WMOIS::GIONET >

    Mike (SSVAX::)  Chaikowski is the person who runs the handicap in the
    Maynard Golf League  (Stow Acres), and I am almost sure it's run on a
    VAX. This league has more than 200 members.
    
    I remember seeing a program also in the VTX TOOLSHED database.

    Re .1  Pam, to manually compute your handicap (USGA style) you need
    a Committee Manual which has a chart in it. Before you refer to
    the chart you need to do the following: subtract the course rating
    (usually on the card somepalce) from your score. That result is
    called a handicap differential. You then add the 10 lowest
    differentials together and refer to the chart, which will tell you
    what your handicap is. There is a calculation in the manual to compute
    your handicap if you have less than 20 differentials. I can, pick
    up a manual for you, if you want one, in Weston at the Mass Golf
    Assoc. It is not to far off the path towards home. Let me know.
    If anyone else needs one let me know by Feb 3 and I will make one
    stop. dissrv::oconnor

    I've got a system that works on either VAX/VMS or the DEC Rainbow.  See
    note #352 for more info.  If you have any other questions, drop me a
    line.

    re:  <<< Note 504.8 by WMOIS::GIONET >>>
    
    Sorry, I had to move it to another node.  The latest kit is in:
    
    RESOLV::SYS$KITS:[PUBLIC]HANDCP22.ARC (for MS-DOS)
    RESOLV::SYS$KITS:[PUBLIC]HANDICAP.KIT (for VMS 4.x)
    
    If you have any problems, let me know.
