A REAL Handi Tip A most useful tip to know is that if you click on the GoforGOLF logo on the top left of each page, it will return you to the Home Page. Very helpful if you get lost in GoforGOLF 2. Internet Things Links to courses and tournaments below, often do not seem to connect on first attempt. However, if you try again, more than likely they will link with out any further problem. If you have a problem with your connection to GoforGOLF, it is most likely an intermitent internet problem. If you leave it for a short time, then try again, more than likely the connection will occur without a problem. 3. Added a new course recently ? Don't forget to add the other tees for the course. Go to the 'Enter a Score' page, and in the second/yellow box, you will find an 'Add Tee' button alongside the Current Tee display. You don't have to enter the club details again, just the information for the new tee. (Tick the box at the end of the line, if you are entering a Ladies Tee - This enables different 'Hole Strokes' from the mens tee). It's easy REMEMBER the more scorecards you enter, the better the analysis you will receive from GoforGOLF. __________________________________________________________ *** MORE GOLF & SPORTS LINKS We now cross the Atlantic for the next major, The British Open - known in UK simply as . . .
