MOST IMPROVED GOLFER - REPORT BY KAY ROBINSON, HANDICAP DIRECTOR

Many clubs present a Most Improved Golfer Award at the end of the year.  Some offer it on a quarterly or even monthly basis.  Generating a Most Improved Golfer (MIG) report is fairly simple.  However, be warned: there are differences in the reports depending on from what source the report is requested.  You have the ability to access the report from three different sources:

1.  Club Computer.  Let's call this the GHP Report since you access it at your club computer via the GHIN Handicap (Management) Program (GHP).

2.  GHINClub.net.  Within GHINClub.net there are two different MIG reports that can be requested:
    a. An emailed report.  Let's call this the PDF Report since the resulting report is emailed to you in a .pdf format which is read by Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    b. A web report.  Let's call this the Web Report since it appears directly on your screen on the GHINClub.net website after which you can export and manipulate it.

The GHP Report is the most accurate.  You can request a specific time period (Jan-present; Nov 1st of previous year to Nov 1st of current year; May 1 - June 1, etc.).  It includes just the members of your club and your service who had valid handicap indexes at the beginning and end of the selected time period.  It includes all members including those who did not improve or worsened during the time period.

The PDF Report is the next most accurate.  It includes players from your service from the beginning of your requested time period.  However, the time period is NOT flexible.  It starts with the January 1 Index and ends with the most current Index.  The time period cannot start in the previous year.  It will select only improved players.

The Web Report, as quick and easy as it is, is not the most accurate report because it will include all members who had an Index, anywhere in the system, even another club, on the beginning date of your specified time period.  Example: you request a MIG report for January 1 through November 1.  Jane Black, who is an existing member of a neighboring club, joined your club on May 3rd.  Your MIG Web Report will list Jane even though she was not a member of your club on January 1st.  One advantage over the PDF report is that you can go back into the previous year to select the start of the time frame.

So select with care the report that you wish to receive.  Also, be sure that when you run any report, in the “Print Group” field you select NONE.  If any other print group is selected (i.e. 001), you may not get a complete listing of players.  GHIN Support Staff advises that Web reports are being modified to eliminate players without indexes for the club in question for the time period specified which may resolve some of the Web Report issues.

This report will also be available under the FAQ section under the Handicap tab on PWGA Website.

Golfing and Skydiving Mishaps

Whats the difference between a golfer and a skydiver?
A golfer goes, whack!..."damn!"
And a skydiver goes, "damn!"... whack!


Corporate America

The game of choice for unemployed people or maintenance level workers is basketball.
The game of choice for frontline workers is football.
The game of choice for middle management is tennis.
The game of choice for CEOs and executives is golf.

Conclusion: The higher up on the corporate ladder you are, the smaller your balls are.
