Dick, If you have not already done so, we invite you to visit our home page at http://www.northernsystems.com and download a 15 day evaluation copy of one of our Handicap Manager for Windows, Personal Editions. If you use a 3Com Palm Pilot, we suggest that you also download a copy of the Handicap Manager for Windows add-on for the 3Com Palm Pilot. That we are aware of, we are the only handicap software supplier which will allow you to share your handicap data over the Internet via our eHandicap network (www.eHandicap.net). According to an independent rating from the Zdnet (a subsidiary of Ziff-Davis Inc, the publishers of numerous magazines including PC Magazine) our Handicap Manager for Windows is a 4 Star Editor’s Choice. You can read their glowing review of our software for yourself by following the appropriate link on our home page. We have Personal, League, and Professional (club) editions which comply with the USGA (United States), RCGA (Canada), AGU (Australia), NZGA (New Zealand), and CONGU (UK) Handicap Systems. The Personal Editions of Handicap Manager have been designed for use by golfers who seek to monitor their handicap issued by a golf club. Handicap Manager for Windows stores up to the most recent 1000 rounds of golf per golfer, and stores up to 2,500 course definitions. It also tracks many relevant statistics such as greens in regulation, fairway stats, driving accuracy, putting stats, etc if you choose to enter golf scores in detail. The feature which seems to be generating the most interest is the introduction of our eHandicap Network which allows your golfers to browse their handicap data and score cards over the Internet. You can see a demo of that facility at http://www.ehandicap.net. To view demo data enter "demo" as the Course ID and "001" through "005" as the Member ID. The demo course is set up to allow browsing of the member list so you could alternatively enter "demo" as Course ID and click on the "Search Database by Member Name" box to view a list of available members. Note that each club can independently specify if their member list can be browsed. We would like to invite your league or club to join our eHandicap Network. All you need to do is download and apply the latest update and complete the Internet Club ID request form at http://www.eHandicap.net/ClubID and the necessary information will be sent to you by return email. Note that it is not necessary that the computer running Handicap Manager for Windows be connected to the Internet as Handicap Manager for Windows has the ability to write the data to be uploaded to a floppy disk along with an upload program to perform the upload. In addition to being available from retail golf stores, Handicap Manager for Windows, Personal Editions, can be purchased directly from Northern Systems Inc. for approximately $US 34.95 by mail using a cheque, money order, VISA or MasterCard. If you are ordering electronically using your VISA or MasterCard, we recommend that you use our secure order form by clicking on the "Order Now" button on our web site at http://www.northernsystems.com. Our order form resides on a secure server and all information entered to the form is encrypted during transmission whereas information transmitted via email is not encrypted and not secure. We also have League and Professional (club) Editions which comply with each of the aforementioned handicap systems. The Canadian Professional Edition of Handicap Manager for Windows has been certified by the RCGA for use by golf courses in Canada which comply with the RCGA Handicap System. Although no equivalent certification program exists in the United States, we do have permission from the USGA to use their handicap system in our software and our U.S. Professional Edition fully complies with the USGA Handicap System. We hope this information is helpful. Cheers and good golf, John D. Hutton Northern Systems Inc.
