Hi Ron,
At one time didn't you have a graphing feature? Was looking to graph HCI and overall tHCI... T.

Yes! I had to hide it away because it was too CPU-intensive for the host I had, but now that I'm on a better host, I'll see if I can get that back up soon.
I liked it too!

Hi Ronadro,
The good news is that I've been playing my best golf in a long time this season and had my best score of the year last weekend, a 2 under par 70... yeehaa!
The bad news is that there appears to be a bug in the Handicap calculation as the HCI does not appear to allow negative values, i.e. it should be around -0.8 put is displaying 0.0. Also for some reason today the delete score feature is not working, getting 404 error.
Thanks again for providing this site, it's getting better every year and the good karma gleaned will surely lead to more life birdies for you. :-)

Congrats on the 70!
I verified the Delete bug...should be easy to fix. As far as the -0.8, I'm pretty sure the USGA doesn't recognize negative handicaps, and they would go with a 0.0 as well. I'll check into it though.
Thanks,
Ron

Thanks Ronadro,
To help out I've done a little digging and found this page which gives a more or less complete explanation of the USGA formula http://usfijiopengolfchampionship.com/usgahandicapformula.aspx. The USGA site has lots of info but it is kind of all over the place so thought this was a better summary. It looks like negative differentials are used in order to come up with potentially "plus" handicaps for Scratch golfers. The "plus" term is becuase a plus handicapper would have to add his/her handicap index to the gross to come up with net. Hope this helps.

As promised, I researched the negative HCI idea. As I expected, you're 100% correct, and the site now allows it and handles it. I've recalculated handicaps for everyone, so there's nothing for you to do.
Thanks for the heads up (and also the kinds words)!

How about we have something where you can be "friends" with your buddies? Also where you can click on their name and check out their recent scores? Be nice to brag to golf pals

djcooper3,
What you're asking for is Groups, which we already have. If you have other ideas for improving the Groups section, by all means send those to me and I'll try to get it done for you!
Thanks!

Hi Ron,
Spring is coming.... ;)
How about adding a filter to filter just 9 hole and just 18 hole rounds. Doing a great job!

Adding an additional filter should be fairly easy, but in the meantime, to separate 9-hole scores, you can pick any filter from the right side, then sort by score and the 9-hole scores will be at the top.
Thanks for the idea!

ManRon,
It scares me a little to see my password in my account details. Call me paranoid ... go ahead, I'll wait . . .
Maybe you can replace the actual password with a link that sends an email to me with my password in it?!
By the way, awesome job with the site and for keeping it running.

The password is not displayed on the My Account page, but a password is indeed displayed on the Clubs pages, if you are the owner of the club. Since clubs are not intended to be secure and basically function as a semi-private group of friends, there is no security threat.
I, however, very much appreciate the feedback!
