Q: I am using GHIN/GOLF Link to maintain Handicap Indexes and would like to schedule my player Handicap Indexes to update automatically every Monday in the League/Event Roster. How can this be done?
A: Clubs that are using GHIN, WHS UK, GolfNet or GOLF Link have multiple options they can use to update handicap indexes from the Master Roster automatically:
Automatically update Handicap Indexes from the Master Roster into Event/League Roster. For more details about this option, Click Here.
Automatically update Handicap Indexes in the Event Roster, "X" day(s) before round.
Automatically update Handicap Indexes in the Event Roster, every week on: "Day of the Week."
We will discuss options 2 and 3 in further detail below.
Enable Automatic Updates in the Event Roster:
To enable and allow the system to update Handicap Indexes automatically, follow these instructions:
Enable Automatic update:
To enable this as the default for all new events/leagues, go to Customer Center > Customer Settings > Default Settings > Handicap Settings.
To enable this in an existing event/league, go to Event/League > Event/League Profile > Handicap Settings.
Go to the Handicap Index Service section.
Enable the option "Click to set automatic Handicap Index Updates" (as shown below).
Enable the option "Click to automatically update Handicap Indexes in the Event Roster," and two options will be available:
Automatically update Handicap Indexes in the Event Roster, "X" day(s) before: This option will typically be used when your rounds don't fall on a typical pattern.
Fill in the number of days to update before the round. For example, if you only want to update the indexes two days before the round, enter a 2.
Further, two additional options are available:
Each round: Use this option to update the Handicap Indexes before every round.
First round: Use this option only to update Handicap Indexes once and before the first round.
Automatically update Handicap Indexes in the Event Roster, every week on: "Day of the Week:" This option will typically be used if you update Handicap Indexes on the same day every week.
Select the day of the week you wish to have the indexes updated.
Make any additional adjustments and click "Save."
The Handicap Indexes will then be set to be updated in the Event/League Roster based on the parameters selected.
