Add The Other Tees If you have added your course, you can add the other Tees quite easily. Return to the 'Scores and Analysis' page by clicking the 'Enter a Score' button on the green menu. Select the course concerned. (As if you were to enter a score). The 'Add a Tee' button will appear in the yellow, 'Enter a Score' box. Click this and you will be presented with an input screen that already has the hole 'Stroke' and 'Par' entered. Just select the hole colour and enter the 'Distance'. It's Easy . . . 2. Associate Players Associate Players are a great way to record the scores of a friend who does not have the internet. Also it can be used to record and track a school or club group or team. When the friend gets his/her own computer or a member of your group moves on, they can transfer the record to their own registration and continue to record their scores themselves for a complete 'record of their golf'. See the "Add an Associate" button on the green menu You can even set your group / team up with its' own registration. Just register again using another name, the Team name or nickname, and you are underway. 3. Newsletter Maintenance. We are about to do maintenance to the newsletter database. This involves the deleting of email addresses that continue to be bounced. If from next month, you do not receive a newsletter, please check your email address. The bouncing of emails can sometimes be a temporary fault and we are unable to identify this. Also, if you receive more than one newsletter it means you have registered twice. Email me with the two registration numbers, they are shown beside your name, and I will make the correction. REMEMBER the more scorecards you enter, the better the analysis you will receive from GoforGOLF. __________________________________________________________ *** NEW ZEALAND GOLF MAGAZINE We continue in our endeavours to develop and improve the GOLF Magazine.
