Jim's HAPAR Golf
iPhone / Sports
Jim's HAPAR Golf is a new way to score golf, using your unique Handicap-Adjust-PAR (HAPAR) table for each hole. Play regular golf, count your strokes, but with HAPAR golf you are free to play any tee color on each hole. A modified Stableford points format is used with the addition of bonus points for good play around the green. It's a great fun game for groups of golfers men or women of any skill level.
1. It's super easy to play Jim's HAPAR golf.
2. Set the golf course you wish to play on the HOME tab.
3. Enter your golf handicap Index on the ME tab, this will cause the app to generate your custom HAPAR table.
4. Tee off from your highlighted tee color shown in the HAPAR table.
5. Play regular golf, count your strokes.
6. At the end of each hole, enter your strokes, the app will calculate your stroke points. And it you have earned any bonus points use the button provided to add bonus points.
7. Go to the next highlighted tee color and play golf.
8. The player or team with the most points wins.
9. The app keeps 2 players scores, in the ME and YOU tabs.
10. Match play is also scored between ME and YOU
11. An optional Shuffled hold Handicap (HDCP) feature adds a new dimension to HAPAR golf. Normally the scorecard
11. When you first start the app you will need to add a new courses using the Settings tab. Downloading new course requires an internet connection. Courses are stored by Country, State, City and Course Name. The list of available course that have already been uploaded to my cloud storage is growing each day. And everyone shares the course data, so a course only needs to be uploaded once.
12. If new Course Data is required you can create a new course. This app will work for any golf course, but if the course data has not yet been entered, the user must enter new data. Course data is stored in Jim's Cloud storage and available for everyone to share. A form to enter new course data is located here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1uudwYdVaEXKiarGBF10qYuUcxfgxZtq3gBAY8oUl2us/edit.
13. If you create a new course by entering the course data into the on-line form, your app purchase price will be refunded.
14. Setting screen background makes it easier to see when switching back and forth between ME and YOU when entering scores during play.
15. Generate HAPAR tables for golfers that don't have the app yet. Just set their Index and use the Camera snapshot to compress the tables into one screen. Then make a screenshot and send to the other player. He will need to score his game manually, but still play along with ME and YOU.
16. Take screenshots of Front 9 and Back 9 scores to save for review.
17. A single golf course, might have 5 or more tee colors, and could create HAPAR tables that suggest highlighted tee choices that are beyond some player skills. So you are free to create variations of a golf course, tuned to different skill groups. For example, San Clemente MUNI has 4 tee colors, and many women players do not wish to play from the Blue tees, so a variant of the MUNI course data was uploaded that only has 3 tees, White, Gold, and Silver, and this then never builds a HAPAR table with a Blue tee choice, but still keeps all the fun in HAPAR golf.
