HandicapMaster CLUB Edition - Overview
Competition and Handicapping Software for Golf Clubs
HandicapMaster is a comprehensive solution for Clubs wishing to manage their competitions and handicapping on a Windows PC. This edition, in addition to extensive support for Competitions, includes a full implementation of the CONGU Unified Handicapping System and is available at a competitive price.
What does it do?
HandicapMaster manages your club membership, helps you organise and process your golf competitions and updates members handicaps in accordance with the CONGU regulations.
1000's of combinations of Competition format supported
HandicapMaster will process Singles, Foursomes, Greensomes and Four Ball Best Ball competitions. These may be Stroke-play, Stableford or Par (Bogey or vPar) formats. Rounds may be played over 9, 10, 11, .. to 18 holes. Texas Scrambles for 3 and 4 players are also available.
Scores may be entered into HandicapMaster by either the Club Official or Competitors themselves. Where Competitors enter their own scores (the club is using the HandicapMaster 'Player Entry' option) HandicapMaster supports the Ireland GOLFnet Smart Cards, dedicated keypad entry or the use of a standard keyboard.
For options allowing players to enter their scores using Magnetic Swipe Cards, or using touch-sensitive screens, or signing into the computer before play, please see our PREMIER Edition.
Singles competitions may be Single Round, Multiple-round (36, 54 or 72 holes in total) or Alternate-Day competitions (such as Ladies Medals).
Results for Singles competitions may also be calculated using 'best' scores from a series (such as 'best 4 scores from 8 rounds to count', etc.). Many other options such as handicaps to one decimal place (typically used in Foursomes competitions, etc), optional handicap stroke adjustments for Ladies in mixed competitions, etc.
HandicapMaster can produce Eclectic results and Order of Merit ('Golfer of the Year') results
Match-play Knockout competitions may be drawn and processed. These may be Singles or Pairs Knock-outs.

Characteristics
Simple to operate
HandicapMaster is a windows-based application that has been designed to be intuitive to use, straight away! 'Wizards' walk the User through the complex operations such as setting up a competition, entering and applying competition results.
Extensive 'best of breed' reporting
10's of different reports are available from within HandicapMaster. Most reports offer the User the choice of who to report (Men, Ladies, etc.) and what data to report ('Current season', 'from chosen date', etc.). All reports are in high-quality page-printer style layout. Reports may be customised with the User's own selection of Fonts for headings. A bitmap of the User's club/society logo may be included in the heading of each report.
Reports may be printed off or saved in any one of three popular formats (RTF, HTML or PDF).
Competition reports include integrated reporting of all necessary information (no need for separate Competition Scratch Score printouts, for example). Handicap Adjustments are automatically included in the competition report...No more excuses from the members that they did not know their handicap had changed!
Handicap Lists and Competition Results may be uploaded to MasterScoreboard.co.uk.
