Most golfers will be familiar with this type of software; if they haven't used such software themselves, they've probably heard of such programs, or experimented with similar programs on the Web.
Golf Score Recorder allows golfers to input each round played, then let the software do the rest. The program comes with easy-to-use wizards that make getting started and getting to know the utility a snap.
The software includes a scorecard analysis suite that contains more than a dozen tools and detailed reports, all designed to highlight how the user has been performing. Golf Score Recorder also automatically recalculates a handicap following each round entered, and can compute handicaps using either the USPGA or R&A methods.
The Golf Score Recorder Web site provides a preview of the tools and reports available. They include:
• Fairways and greens in regulation;
• Playing partner database with contact info;
• Automatic handicap calculation;
• Average scores on par 3s, 4s and 5s;
• Tournament management tools.
"We've spent a lot of time on this software, listening to the feedback of 'Joe Golfer,' and we're sure people will enjoy it," said Martin Wright of Highpoint Business Solutions.
The Web site also affords golfers a try-before-you-buy option with a free, limited trial version available for download. The full version can be purchased and downloaded on the Golf Score Recorder Web site, or via Download.com or ZDNet.com. Or customers can order the program on DVD.
At the time of release, Golf Score Recorder was priced at $24.95.
