Q: What is a handle and can I modify how the handle is displayed?
A: This is the short form name given to your players, which will appear on the tee sheet, leaderboard, player roster, and many other areas.
You can define your handle for all new events and leagues by going to Custom Center > Customer Settings > Default Settings > General Settings. For any existing event/league, within the event, go to Event/League > Event/League Profile > General Settings.
Find the section titled "Handle Format," and you can select how the handle is displayed from one the the several options (as shown below).
Overriding First Name:
If you would like to use an alternative field for the first name, select the option "Override First Name," and you will be able to select which custom field from the roster contains the preferred first name (as shown below). Note: If the custom field has no input, the "First Name" field is used instead.
Keep Master Roster Handle for Imported Golfers:
If you have modified a players name in the master roster or utilized a different handle format then your event/league, you can set one handle format for the event/league, and keep the handle format for imported golfers from the master roster. To do so, check the box "Keep Master Roster Handle for imported golfers" (as shown below).
