By 1997, it had evolved into a complete statistical golfing concept now known as 'dbGOLF'. There are many individual groups of golfers who play together and like having their own private system. These groups organize and setup their own tournaments. They maintain both USGA approved handicaps and their own customized handicaps. These optional databases are used, i.e., to calculate a golfer's local course handicap restricted to rounds played only at one course.
Most users are interested in the competitive side of golf.
The results are viewed on the screen or by a printed report. Tournament pairings are either calculated by handicap, by prearranged teams at time of entry, or by random selection. Tournaments can include both members and nonmembers. If you enjoy the game now, this will further provide you with an extension of that enjoyment. The dbGOLF consists of two distinct and separate modules.
