Dear Members,

Last month I thanked you for record site activity, this month Greenskeeper.org returns the favor with a massive upgrade to our hosting solution! Unfortunately because of the hosting move we were not able to publish the May Newsletter. However our $100 Golfsmith Gift Card Drawings for site members submitting golf course reviews or rating golf products still took place and are posted below.

Breaking down the GK Handicap Tracker
By Ringworld (Director of Community)
-- The ABC’s to using this handy FREE tool.

I have been asked this several times, “How can I better use this GK Handicap Tracker?” It’s really quite simple. For some it is the main reason you come to this site. It’s free, very easy to use, and pretty self-explanatory. But did you know that there is a lot more to this GK Handicap Tracker than meets the eye? This article attempts to dispel a few myths and put you in better touch with your index. 

So let’s take a swing at this. 

The GK Handicap Tracker is a FREE tool available to all Greenskeeper.org Members. To register as a new member simply click on the “JOIN NOW FOR FREE!” button (located on the Home Page), follow the prompts and complete the information and in a few mouse clicks you’re a member of Greenskeeper.org! 

To begin, Login and Click on the menu bar marked Handicap Tracker under the Main Menu.



Features of the GK Handicap Tracker include:

•  Track your overall golf statistics and the statistics for every golf course you play. 



•  Privacy & Security - You are the only one who has access to your golf handicap information and its backed up multiple times per day. 

•  Indexes - Current, Month-to-Month, Lowest Index, Last 20 Rounds, Last 12 Months, Last 3 Rounds, and Tournament Indexes are available. 

•  Playing Statistics - % Fairways Hit, % Greens Hit in Regulation, % Successful Saves, % Successful Sand Saves, and Average Putts per Hole /  per 18 Holes / per GIR.

•  Break It Down - Per Golf Course and even Per Hole! In fact you can select any Date Ranges to get an inside look at your progress or decline. 



With our updated graphs and tables for Hole-by-Hole statistics you can see at-a-glance where improvement has occurred in your game or better still where improvement can best be focused. Let’s face facts, Golf is a time consuming game, what better way to spend your time more focused on where you need to improve or better still focus on your strengths on the golf course when it really counts. 

Bottom-line, the GK Handicap Tracker is perhaps the best FREE tool available to any golfer wanting to improve their game. The question is, what are you doing to improve your game? What are you waiting for?
