The Pace-of-Play Rating Certificate

Before losing or turning off your signal, select the Home/Start Page
for the course(s) you intend to play THEN, from the Menu, select
"Add Shortcut to Home". This commits to local cache memory all
the course data needed to run with the iHandicap software that is
already there. Now, when your signal is killed, the App can be
accessed from your Home Page and run normally.

As your round progresses (from 4th hole played) & you record scores
for Player A, the Dynamic Handicapping function updates it's forecast of the
Handicap you are performing to (on the iHcap line).
At close of play, you can either click on RESET to accept this assessment of
your play OR, only if you have completed 18 holes, click on GAME OVER to invoke
the "18 Hole" Handicapping algorithm.
The latter will cause your revised International Golf Handicap to be displayed.

For either case, your International Golf Handicap Certificate
can be displayed by returning to OUR Home page and clicking on
MY INTERNATIONAL GOLF HANDICAP CERTIFICATE.

(usually Yellow) for your selected course. Simply click on the appropriate
radio button for other tees - usually White for Medal & Red for
Ladies. You can change these for use with other courses.
