Getting Started
Step 1 - Provide some information about yourself.
Enter your name and golf club/league affiliation (if any). Use the club selector to choose the 14 clubs you carry in your bag. This information will be used for scoring by recording the number of strokes played with each club. If you use a particular club that is not listed just make a mental note and select another club listed as a substitute.
Step 2 - Using the Course Editor.
Store all your frequently played courses here. Using the score card from the course you played enter all the relevant information including: golf course name, tee box you usually play, slope, rating and individual hole par and yardage. The same course played form different tees must be entered as two separate courses. Please note that you must first enter your courses here before entering any scores for that course. GolfMac has two sample courses for you to try. If the score card from the course you played does not provide slope or rating data, use 113 for slope and 72 for rating. It won't be exact, but you'll get a reasonable indication of your handicap for the round..
Entering Scores.
1.) Go to the Game Data page and choose the course, tees and type of game you plan to enter. For type you will most often use “Regular” but you can select “Tournament” if the round you played was for any scheduled competition. “Practice” does not have a save option.
2.) Record the number of strokes taken with each club. To record a stroke click once for each stroke in the box to the left of the corresponding club you used for that shot. Double-Click to clear. When all strokes have been entered for that hole, click once in the box to the left for a drive in the fairway and once for a green made in regulation. Click the calculator icon and GolfMac will tally and post the hole score. If all is correct click on the right arrow to proceed the next hole. To enter all eighteen holes takes about 5 minutes. You may check the score card at any time while you are in the ScoreSheet mode.
3.) Warning-- if you leave the Score Sheet any time before you enter a complete round of golf and save the data all information will be lost!! If at any time you realize a mistake or wrong score you may go back and change the information simply by clicking on the left arrows an making appropriate changes. Once complete review the game then click on "Save Game" and that game will be added to your season totals.

Your Handicap
GolfMac introduces a new propriety handicap system, the Personal Handicap Index (PHI). PHI computes your handicap based on a weighted average over your most recent ten games. Your PH Index is exactly what it says, a personal index for you to use when playing with friends or to track your overall improvement. You do not need to know the slope and rating of any course you play to use PHI, because it it solely based on scores relative to bar and proximity. However, when entering courses in the course editor you may still enter a slope and rating to keep track of your scores if you carry a USGA handicap.
