Playing your first round - Part 1
Table of Contents

Follow these steps to setup your first round. This is a quick walk-through. (Each screen/section is covered in detail later in this manual).

Launch GolfTrac

If this is the first time you've launched GolfTrac you won't have any prior Rounds so the "Choose Round" screen will will be blank.

Click/Tap "Start New Round" to begin. The first step in creating a round is associating a golf course with the round. Courses can be pre-entered using CourseBuilder or entered on the fly while you play. All courses are reusable.

At this point we do not have any courses defined for GolfTrac.

Click/Tap "New" to create the new course.

NOTE: Due to the limitations in an unregistered copy, courses entered in CourseBuilder (beyond the first course) will not be accessible.

We now need to setup our course.

Enter the required information for the course:

Course name, and which Tees you'll be playing from.

Tee information is appended to the name of the course. If you play a course from both the Pro Tees and the Men's Tees, you'll actually end up with 2 separate courses.

Explanation of fields:

Course: course name up to 20 characters REQUIRED
Description: up to 60 characters OPTIONAL
Rating: 5 Character field for Personal Rating OPTIONAL
Other: 5 Character field for your use. (Possible uses:
USGA course rating (slope), cost of a beer at clubhouse, your course handicap, etc.). OPTIONAL
Last Played: Last date course was played, will be todays date for a new course. REQUIRED
Tee Off From: Which tees you are playing from (Pro, Mens, Ladies) REQUIRED. (There is no standard for Tee's, You'll need to decide which tee's are Mens, Ladies,Pro's.)

Click "OK" when you are finished with the Course setup and ready to move to the Round setup.
