  148. I have a "Group Champion" question: On June 16th six of us played, all with a handicap on your site.

  152. we have multiple groups amongst our golfers. how can a group be deleted.
  153. There seems to be a bug in the system. In our group for some golfers, sometimes the handicap index at he very bottom of the Anatomy of Handicap page is .1 higher than that shown for the same golfer on the Group page. I've checked the math and the handicap index at the very bottom of the Anatomy of Handicap page is correct. When you print a scorecard for a given course for the Group it appears that the incorrect handicap index on the Group page is used to calculate everyone's Course Handicap. This will make at most a 1 stroke difference in Course Handicap and only when the .1 difference in Handicap Indices between the two pages is enough to cause the Course Handicap to round up. But, in a competitive group it will cause trouble.

  158. How do you change a date played after the wrong date has been entered. The course was played on 3/16 and I forgot to enter the March 16 date. Can it be edited?
  159. We have about 30 golfers in our group. Typically 20 to 24 show for weekly matches. Sometimes a player might not be there for 2 or 3 weeks. But since he doesn't play he doesn't get beat so he still champion. Could you set up that for every date the group plays there is a new champion? By the way great site really enjoy it. Keep up the good work Tom.
