Question:

Do I have to download anything?

Answer:

Not a thing! All you do is purchase a package, fill out the registration and your exclusive member area will be instantly created. The entire program is immediately available to you and your members. A simulation of what will be created for your league can be seen in the Demo and nothing will be placed on your computer. A server member area that will be updated and maintained by GolfLeague is a feature that will always be included at no extra charge.

Question:

Once my league is created on GolfLeague, how do I go about setting it up so that a league member has access to the site?

Answer:

When filling out your league information, you will create Player profiles for your members. A login ID and Password will automatically be created for each member and a welcome email will be sent to the new member on your behalf if an email is entered into the player profile. The new member can then log in and have instant access. You don’t have to do anything extra, GolfLeague does it all for you.

If you load member information without an email address (some members may not have an email), that's ok too. When you go back at a later time and add an email address, the system will automatically send a notification to the member with complete log in information.

Question:

Do I have to load all the member information myself?

Answer:

There are two ways that you can setup league member information on the GolfLeague web site. When creating the member profiles, you can:

• Enter limited info (i.e. name & email only) and then ask each member to complete his own information. Since each member has full access to change his or her own information, this is a popular method. It also decreases the time needed to create player profiles. Saving time and avoiding work for the administrator is a major goal of your GolfLeague software.

• Enter all information when creating the profile. This will need to be done for members who do not have computers or email addresses.

Question:

Is it possible for a member to reply to the e-mail that comes from the communication program?

Answer:

Yes. The system sends the email out but the sender is listed as the administrator. When the member clicks reply on his or her email program, the administrator will receive the reply message.

Question:

Does the software adjust the scores for the players too ?

Answer:

The system does not automatically adjust scores. The administrator must enter two numbers: gross score and adjusted score for each round.

Question:

What's the right way to adjust scores ?

Answer:

How to adjust scores is entirely up to the league. Some leagues just set a limit on how high a score can be and subtract any strokes over the max. Some leagues allow a maximum score on any hole based on what your handicap is and subtract the rest. You can enter a gross score and an adjusted score. If you only enter one score, the program automatically makes the gross and adjusted score the same. The program uses the adjusted score to calculate the handicap. The adjusted score is often the same as the gross score, they do not have to be different.

Question:

How do you adjust a 9 hole score?

Answer:

Well again, it's entirely up to the league how to adjust scores. The GolfLeague staff currently runs two 9-hole leagues however and we are happy to share the way we do it. Click here to see our 9-hole golf league score adjustment method.

Question:

How do you assign points?

Answer:

This is another area that is entirely up to the league. The league administration decides how many points the players get and the administrator enters the points each week for each player. For a small fee you can receive a sample of league rules, which can give you ideas on how to run your league. Just email the staff@golfleague.us if you are interested and we'll give you the details.

Question:

Are there any free services available?

Answer:

Yes, we do offer a free basic program for up to four players. This version is a fully functional, free online golf league program limited to four players. It can be upgraded at a later date to include additional players and add-on modules. You can create your free program here.
