European handicapping

If you want to use the European Handicapping system, which alters your handicap for each course you play according the the courses Course and Slope ratings,  You need to do two things:

1. On the main Screen, click "System Setup". On the system setup screen,  make sure that Handicapping System is set to EGA (European Golf Association)

2. Make sure that you have entered course and slope ratings for any course you are going to play.

 

How do I change my targets ?

On the main screen, double click your name in the player list on the lft hand side.

There are two types of targets for each player: Automatic and Manual. Click the checkbox to determine which type of targets you want to use.

  • Automatic Targets are set by Scoresaver 2 according to your handicap. This is the default setting. Your targets change whenever your handicap changes
  • Manual Targets are set by yourself. You can set any value you like for each of the 8 key stats. Make sure you click Save once you have entered your targets.

Scoresaver 2, Golf Record keeping and Analysis Software, is designed to help you identify the good and the bad in your golf game. Targets are used to colour-code your stats which makes them easier to understand and digest.

 

How do I upgrade Scoresaver 2 and will my golf records be affected?

  1. To get the upgrade, visit the download page.
  2. Download the latest version.
  3. If Scoresaver 2 is running you should close it before continuing.
  4. Install the latest version by running the program you just downloaded in step 2. (By default, Scoresaver is installed to c:\program files\scoresaver2\ if you altered this when you first installed Scoresaver, then you should ensure that the new version that you are installing is installed in the same directory as your existing version.)
  5. The Scoresaver 2 program will be updated but your data files will not be altered. (But it would still be a great idea to backup your golf record data, before installing the newer version just in case.)

 

Is there a version of Scoresaver 2 for my PDA ?

At the moment, the answer is no. This is something we may consider for future development.

Does Scoresaver 2 work on a Macintosh ?

Scoresaver 2 is a Microsoft Windows program and as such will not run natively on an Apple Mac.

However, there are PC emulators that you can now get for Macs which may enable you to run Scoresaver 2. We have successfully tested Scoresaver 2 on a Macintosh running VMWare Fusion without any problems.

If you have a PC emulator on your Mac, you can use your 30-day free trial to see if Scoresaver 2 works.

When I install and upgrade, which folder should I install to ?

You should always install Scoresaver 2 upgrades to the same folder as your original Scoresaver 2 installation.

This should be c:\program files\scoresaver 2\ unless you have specified to install it somewhere else.

Also, upgrades will always retain your stats from previous versions.

How do I view my eclectic scores?

1. Select the "Strokeplay Rounds" tab on the main screen
2. Click "Analyse"
3. On the Strokeplay Analysis screen, select a course (you cannot view eclectics on more than one course by definition)
4. Click on the "Stats for XXX" tab, where XXX is the name of the course selected
5. You will see tabs called "Eclectic Best" (woo-hoo) and "Eclectic Worst" (D'oh). The info you want is shown on these tabs.

While you are there, check out the "Hole Comparison" tab. This shows your key stats on a hole by hole basis for the selected course.
