You will also be asked to enter your own ‘password’, giving access to your information to only you.

The scores you enter are held confidentially and are only accessed by you or people you give your password to.

Select the district of your ‘Home or default Course’ and then select your course. This will be used to default the system to this course when you enter the web site and "Sign-In with the Starter". This means you only have to select the Tee you used to enter your score. (To enter a score from another course use the ‘Course Finder’).

Enter your ‘Handicap/Index’. This will be used to calculate your ‘Stableford and Corrected’ scores. Make sure you keep this updated with any change. This can be done by clicking the 'Change your Details' button on the Menu, or at the time of entering a score. (If you are in a country that uses the Slope Rating Handicaping system, this is your 'Handicap Index').

You can change your details at any time. Once you have ‘Signed In’, select the ‘Change your Details’ button on the Menu.

‘Handicap/Index’ - You can change Handicap/Index here your when you are entering your score. Enter the change and press ‘Submit’.

It is recommended that your password is at least 6 characters and made up of letters and numbers. It is not recommended to use easily guessed passwords such as your name, initials or date of birth. Make the change and press ‘Submit’.

(If you lose or forget your password, email the administrator at greg@goforgolf.com giving sufficient details for us to confirm your identity, such as address, email address etc., and we will email it to you. On receiving your password, we suggest that you immediately change your password to ensure security.

If you play golf with friends and relations who do not have access to the Internet, you can add them as associate players, under your access number. You will then be able to enter their scores and receive analysis of their scores.

Register an Associate Player without losing an information.

An associate player can register at any time, and have their own ‘access number’ and ‘password’. The scores that have been entered for them as an associate will move with them to their own registration.

Register your team members as Associate Players and use GoforGOLF to track and trace their play and development. Print the 'Analysis Card' for your course to assist your team to record the additional information for their round.

Slope Rating Handicap - If you wish to use the Slope Rating Handicap system, tick the ‘Slope Rating Handicap' box by clicking the mouse.

Course Handicap - Your Course Handicap will be calculated from the Slope rating of the tee you played and your Handicap Index. If the course does not have a Slope rating entered, your Handicap Index will be rounded. If this is not the Handicap or Course Handicap that you used to play the round, then overtype the figure.

Circled Score - A score is circled when you pick up your ball before completing the hole. Etiquette - This is often done in fun or non competition games to keep the play moving and so not to hold up the players behind.

GoforGOLF will thne calculate your corrected score, based on your Course Handicap.
